Note: Known as Bronson, a farmer. Died of the Spanish Flu around the age of 30. Listed in 1910 head of household: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txtyler/census/1910/hh_2.htm
The story goes that Inez met Brunson, he carried her off to Texas, with guns ablazing, and sent the message back to the family that to come to Texas to get her was to die. Very romantic. He died of the Spanish Flu around 30 years old, Grandmother Bean remarried to a man name Cohen that she promply left. She always said it was the only way she could get her kids back. When Brunson died things got really bad for the family, the children except for the youngest Lacester were put in foster homes. I am not sure why the Bean family could or did not help the family after Brunson died, but it is possible they were in very bad state themselves, grandma never mentioned them except for a picture of the family she shared of Brunson and his brothers. After she reunited her children they opened a boarding house, and struggled alone. Her oldest Hershal joined the Marines, her daughters married. She lived at times with her son Lacester. Very outgoing she lived her later years well into her 80's alone but active. She died in her nineties in 1980 living in a Picayune nursing home.
