Individual Details
Mabel D. Brewer
(January 1, 1888 - January 11, 1965)
The following information is from Davis Brewer, email: dbrewer@magic-sweep.com, 2003:
1910 Listed in Lincoln county census, living with her father and sister Johnny. Age 22.
1920 Listed in Lincoln county census, living alone at 309 E Chippewa, Brookhaven, Mississippi. Age 27 [??].
June 1927. Listed in her father's obituary as Mrs. R L Lester, Dallas, Texas.
About 1930. Cousin Virginia Mixon reports that she lived with Aunt Mabel Brewer 1 1/2 years in Long Beach, California, after high school. Mabel was not then married.
30 Mar 1932. Now divorced from Lester. Living in Long Beach, California. Marries M. T. Gutelius.
James A. Brewer stated in June 1998 that "Aunt Mabel lived with Aunt Lola and Uncle Frank Farrel -- they were close. Mabel was an artist; i.e., a painter. She also was expert in making artificial flowers -- a crafts person." The Farrels may have lived in California for a time. It is possible that they all moved to California together, then the Farrels returned to Mississippi about 1931 or 1932.
Oct 1998. Researcher Mary Inglis reports following from California Death Index: Mabel GUTELIUS b 1 Jan 1890 MS, d 11 Jan 1965 Los Angeles County, California. DeathCertificate received 12 Nov 98. Says she died at Community Hospital of Long Beach of a cerebral hemorrhage. She was listed as a widow and resided at 233 Newport Ave, Long Beach. Her father's name given as A. C. Brewer is an obvious error. I believe her birthdate may also be an error. Also gives length of stay in Los Angeles County and in California as 30 years. Believe it may have been longer. The listed informant was Ouida L. Smith of 2625 SW Sylvania Terrace, Portland, Oregon. This is quite likely Quida Farrell, daughter of Frank and Lola Farrell.
Marriage certificate dated 25 March 1932 provides the middle initial "D" for Mabel and also indicates an earlier marriage to a LESTER which ended in divorce. .It lists her trade or profession as Floral Artist and her residence at the time as 246 W Ocean, Long Beach. The groom's residence was 30 56th Place.
