John "Ring Neck" Brewer, b. 1855 son of William
Brewer and Elizabeth Cole, m. Nan Venable, b. Harrisonburg, Va.
John had a grist mill. Nan was noted for her kindness to her neighbors during
hard times (which were frequent in Owsley Co., Ky.) as well as to her family.
Nan's family emigrated across the mountains from Va. to Ky. when she was
very small. She told my grandmother-in-law, her granddaughter, that bears
followed them for three days straight. During some episode in the Civil
War, when she was still small, she was hidden in a hollow log.
Children:
Joe Brewer m. Mattie Jane Wilson
Lucy Brewer
Chester Brewer
Emma Brewer
Harve Brewer
Grant Brewer (d. in WW1)
Sally Brewer
Joe and Chester were in
WW1. The day of the Armistice, they met in Paris, and went off to Andorra
for R&R.
