Today I checked the archives of the Marion Chronicle-Tribune and discovered that some
cousins had died.
Carl Alan Brookshire, b. 6 Aug 1929 in Liberty Twp., Grant Co., IN; d. 12 Oct 2003 in
Marion, Grant Co., IN. [He's my second cousin, once removed; two of his WorldConnect
databases are still available.] SSDI gives his SSN as 315-26-9458.
Carl's parents were Lucius Gordon and Minnie Ann (Bright) Brookshire. Lucius was b. 19
Feb 1899 and d. 5 Jan 1976. Minnie was b. 3 Jul 1894 in Grant Co., IN and d. 18 Jul 1974
in Kissimmee, Ocala Co., FL. They married 31 Aug 1918. Both are buried in Park Cem.,
Fairmount, Grant Co., IN.
I also found the obit of Carl's brother, Clyde L. Brookshire, b. 12 Apr 1921 in
Liberty Twp., Grant Co., IN; d. 12 Aug 2003 in Marion, Grant Co., IN. SSDI gives his SSN
as 317-16-9532
Both Carl and Clyde were survived by their spouses.
