Individual Details
Lela Francis Briles
(5 Dec 1920 - 17 Jul 2001)
Family information is unsure whether she was born in1921 or 1922. However, since her sister Melba was born in February 1923, the 1921 birth year seems the most likely.
In a letter from Winona Briles Brown (daughter of Lela's Uncle Wilbur) to Sara Briles Moriarty dated July 20, 1982, Winona reports that both Lela and her husband were at a Briles Family Reunion that took place in Italy, Texas, earlier that month, so they both still alive as of that date.
