Ninth Generation

519. Laura Isabel BROWN was born on 5 December 1860.¹⁰⁸ She died in 1921 at the age of 61.

Born 6 months after her father died.

Isabell Brown, age 16, is living with Rebecca Brown, her grandmother, in the 1876 MO State Census.

I have never found a first marriage for Laura. Nor have I found her in the 1880 census, unless she is the Laura, age 19 with Joseph Brown, age 36, and four children which must be his by an earlier marriage, living in Joplin.

Lulu COINER¹⁶² was born on 6 March 1884.¹⁶²

Married (1) Bert Davis and (2) Forest Wylie.

12 Sep 1918 World War I Draft Registration
Bert Owen Davis, of 1317 Furnace, Joplin, Jasper Co, MO, was age 36, born 5 Apr 1882. He was a City Fireman. His mother - Hattie E. Davis of the same address, was his nearest relative. Medium height, slender build, grey eyes, brown hair.

I'm not sure Lulu was ever married to Forest Wylie - if so it would have been after the death of Bert Davis. She was apparently married to a Smith first - see the grandson of Clark Coiner in 1920. Her sister Daisy was never married to a Smith.
Not the right Forest Wylie:
There is a grave marker - Harmon Cemetery, McDonald Co, MO for Forest H. Wylie, b. 6 Sep 1882, d. 28 Jan 1894, age 11. Parents C. H. & Carrie Wylie.
Another grave marker, same cemetery
Forrest H. Wylie, b. 8 Sep 1882, d. 28 Jan 1934, age 41. There is a photo of the marker but unreadable.
