E.T. BROWN, 77 RETIRED TEACHER DIES THURSDAY
Ed Brown, 77, retired teacher and rancher, died at his home in Shamrock Thursday, July 21, after an illness of about three months.
It was only a little more than a year ago that he and his wife, the late Mettie Laycock Brown, moved from their ranch at Abra into Shamrock.
Mr. Brown came to Collingsworth County with other members of his family in 1920. Like many outstanding teachers who began their careers in that period almost 60 years ago, Mr. Brown completed his high school work after he entered college. He, and others like him, earned their degrees by attending college to earn a teaching certificate, then teaching during the school school year and attending Texas State University in the summers until they completed their work,
His first school was in 1924 at Kesler, southeast of Wellignton. In the course of his career, he taught at Swearington, Buck Creek, Salt Fork, Lone Mound, and in Wheeler county at Center, Twirry, Bethel, and Mobeetie.
He concluded his career more than 30 years later as a member of the Samnorwood faculty for a number of years.
During part of this time, he also operated the ranch he and Mrs. Brown had at Abra, and since he had retired from teaching, devoted himself full time to it.
Mr. Brown was a member of Glen Davis Memorial Methodist Church at Dozier and a member and past president of Samnorwood Lions Club. He belonged to the Texas and National Retired Teachers Association.
Edwin Theodore Brown was born at Desdemona, Eastland County, September 18, 1899.
son of J.F. and Nancy Brown. Most of his youth was in Wilbarger County, and he came here in 1920 from Odell.
Funeral Services were conducted Sunday, at 2:30 p.m. in Glen Davis Memorial Methodist Church. Officiating were Rev. C.R. Hankins, pastor, assisted by Dr. Olie Brown, a brother, of Southern California Baptist College at Riverside. Burial was at Dozier Cemetery.
