Son of Ernest Brewer, Sr. and Della Lakey.
Has two headstones.
He was married to Mildred Velma Smith until she passed away in 1963, then married Bernice Caroline Torvik-Halmrast. Since he and Mildred had a son together (John Lee Brewer), it was important to him (John) that his name be along her headstone, though he was buried next to Bernice.
His real name was Ernest Raymond Brewer. The family didn't know his first name was Ernest (same as his father's) until my mother (Brenda Lee Halmrast-Young) received his death certificate. He always went by Ray.
