Subject: Searching for Beula/Beulah BROWN in Kansas and California 1892....
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 1998 19:36:11 -0800


Hello,
It has been a while since I made a posting to the list. I still am
at a dead end for my BROWNS. I would really like to find any
relatives of Beula BROWN b. in Topeka, Kansas in 1892. Her
parents were Oscar BROWN and Lena PETERSON. I did find
Oscar and his children Beula, Arthur and Walter in Topeka, KS.
in the 1900 Shawnee Co. census. By this time Lena had left the
family. In 1904, Oscar was killed in a construction accident ( I
don't know where this happened ). The children ended up in St.
Vincent's Catholic Home in Leavenworth, KS. Beula ran away
shortly after that. The boys lost touch with her until around 1920.
Walter met with her in Sacramento or San Francisco, CA. They
didn't hear from her after that. I don't know if she married or lived
in California permanently or what. Big mystery.
Thanks.
Janis Foley
