(Brooksie was 20 when she married George. She had 9 siblings younger then her. If they were all living at home, maybe she had to leave home. I have to wonder why Brooksie married a man almost the age of her father and had one baby after another (10 babies total) til she died at 39. George was 15 years older than Brooksie. There is sadness here and many questions. SRC)
