Geo.E.Brewer,Aberdeen,MS-Delhi, La.
Does anyone know anything about George E. Brewer,b.1872,d.1940.He was married to Etta Harmon,b.1882-d.1918.They had seven children: Willis, Herschel, George, Howard, Wayland Lee (my father),Mary Evelyn and Lorene.He may have had a syrup mill and a broom factory in or around Aberdeen. (Monroe Co., Ms.) Sometime after the death of his wife, he moved to Delhi, Louisiana and ran a grocery store and,I'm told, bootleg whiskey.
He is buried in Aberdeen, Ms. Next to his grave is the grave of Willis H.(Hamlin) Brewer who was the husband of Mary Spence Walpole and the brother of Burell, Thomas, Mathew H.and William Brewer. Willis Brewer was the grandfather of George E. Brewer...MAYBE even his greatgrandfather...if they married young enough. Willis H Brewer and Mary Walpole had six children: Edward Hamlin, William George, Richard Martin, Samuel Boling, Daniel, Julia and Mary Elizabeth.I only know about Edward Hamlin Brewer: Married Rosamond Elizabeth McKinney March 12, 1846 in Monroe Co., Ms.They had three children that I know of: John Willis, William Martin and Edward George.
Somewhere in the above names is my great grandfather. Please help me find who he was.
Thanks.Syble Brewer King
