Blanche Elizabeth (Anthony) Brown was born in 1871 in Roseville, Arkansas.
On the 1880 census she was eight years old and living in Roseville with her parents, Ernest and Susan Anthony, and two sisters, Pearl and Katie Sue. Blanche also had a brother named John Mark, but he was not born until 1883. It is interesting that they were the first family enumerated in the Town of Roseville. Susan's father, John Griffith Cathey, was living with them, as was another man referred to as "JH Cathey" who was a clerk at the grocery. I'm not sure who JH is, but he is likely related. They also had two servants living in their home, Alex Snider, an 18 year old white male and Missouri Vason, a 45 year old black woman. Their household also included two boarders, a doctor named WH Smith, who was 24, and a schoolteacher named Alva WIlder, who was 20.
In 1895, Blanche married Edwin Goldsmith Brown in Fort Smith, Arkansas, which is a little more than 40 miles from Roseville, along the border between Arkansas and Oklahoma. They remained in Fort Smith for a few years, where their first child, Dorothy, was born.
I searched for this family long and hard in the 1900 census before realizing that they must have been in Canada at the time of the census as their second child, Edwin, was born in Montreal in July of 1900. Their third and final child, James, was born in Salt Lake City, Utah.
By 1910, the family had moved to Pueblo, Colorado, where Edwin worked as a train dispatcher for the railroad, and lived on Carlile Place. In 1920, the family was in the same house and Edwin was still working for the railroad. On July 10th of that year, Blanche's oldest child, Dorothy, married a man named Harry Brumley Cadwell. In 1923, Blanche's husband died of a paralytic stroke. By 1930, Blanche was living with Dorothy, her husband, and their two kids, also named Harry and Dorothy on West St in Pueblo. When Dorothy and Harry moved to Oakland, California, she moved with them, a darling "Nana Brown" to her grandchildren. When her grandson, Harry, was 17, his parents had moved to New York, but he insisted on returning to Oakland because it would allow him to graduate from high school mid year and join the Army. Nana Brown returned to Oakland with him.
Blanche Brown died in Berkeley, California in 1965. She was loved throughout her life.
