Mrs. Virgil Brown and daughter, Mrs. Barbara Carlin, and small daughter Barbara Ann of Vista visited in Covelo recently. While here they were house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Crockett. Mrs. Virgil Brown is a sister-in-law of Mr. Albert Brown, Sr., and Mrs. Vincent English.
(Not sure who "Virgil Brown" is, I have her husband's name as Charles Ira Brown, who passed in 1947. Possible 2nd husband?)
