Obituary for John Edwin Brewer
http://www.tributes.com/show/John-E.-Brewer-94568303
John Edwin Brewer was born July 2nd 1943 in Kansas City, Mo to Daniel Jackson Brewer and Josephine Ladish Brewer. He was their 4th child with two older sisters Rosemary and JoAn an older brother Dan and younger sister Elizabeth.

John was an active boy who loved being outdoors. In high school he ran track and won the 1936 Class A Mile at Kansas Regional Championships.  He learned about the promises of Gods kingdom as a teen and made his dedication in January of 1960 at the age of 17, he moved to the Westport area where one floor up from his apartment he met Virginia Fulk who was also pioneering.
They soon were married and assigned as special pioneers to the Paola, Ks area. In the summer of 1966 they received life changing news. They had been accepted to the Bible School of Gilead in New York. This five month course gave them much needed training for what was to follow… Spring 1967 they moved to their new missionary assignment in Chile S.A. where they spent the next 13 years in La Serena, Santiago, and Punta Arenas. They had many, many adventures during that time including a bout with scarlet fever that almost took his life. In 1979 a big decision was made… have children and leave the missionary work or continue in their assignment. Well, that summer they moved back to Kansas City expecting their first child but chose to continue their special work by joining the first Spanish congregation in Kansas City. Needing a way to support their volunteer work John decided to learn the electrical field, using books from the library and armed with a ladder, screwdriver, hammer and pliers he learned the field and started his own business, Brewer's Electric, acing all the tests until earning his masters in electrical.

In March of 1980 a baby girl was born (Camila), then fearing she was lonely and needed a companion, a "bouncing baby boy" (Kursten) was born in September of 1982. Being a lover of travel he took the family on frequent trips through Mexico but still longed for the missionary life left behind. In 1988 he began planning for their next big adventure… 1989, he sold the house, purchased a discarded 64 passenger school bus that had been flooded, with the help of the Spanish brothers the bus was gutted cleaned and the engine repaired then loaded with the families possessions to become a make shift RV. With it he moved his family to Guatemala C.A. to again serve as independent missionaries. But this time returning to Kansas City every year for three months to work in order to financially support life in Guatemala until 1994 when they moved back to Kansas City where he continued building his business, teaching his son and daughter the electrical field, and then watched them leave the nest as he and Virginia settled in to life as just the two of them. In 2003 his first grandchild was born (Jesse) to his daughter. In 2006 Virginia lost her battle with cancer ending 38 years of marriage.

John soon found companionship and love in an old friend Sharon and they were married the summer of 2006 starting a new chapter in their lives. In 2007 his second grandchild (Jordan) was born. Then John was diagnosed with Alzheimers in 2008 and he and Sharon began the difficult battle that is living with the disease, the decision was made to sell the business and retire. In 2009 his third grandchild was born (Calandra). John spent the remaining years in faithful service to Jehovah, enjoying his back yard and neighborhood walks as well as visits to the coast.

He died on Monday October 8th in a traffic accident at the age of 69 having lived a very full and exciting life in Jehovah's service.

  What is confusing about the grave marker for Minerva is the engraved section that says "Beloved wife, mother, and grandmother"  Yes, she was a wife.  However, as far as I can figure out, she did not give birth to any children.  Then I thought about step-children.  The two sons that Cornelius had with wife Jennie were already adults at the time of Jennie's death.  Which means, Effie did not help raise the sons.  However, she may have been accepted as a mother and grandmother figure to the family. In that case, the above mentioned engraving would make perfect sense.

Obituary for Billie Maurice McCrum
Billie M. McCrum, age 86, passed away at Kalispell Regional Medical Center on Saturday, April 15, 2006. Billie was born on July 8, 1919 in Clay, Louisiana to John Wesley and Jessie Emma Stewart Harden. She was raised in San Antonio, Texas, where she graduated from high school and attended beauty school.

Billie married Samuel B. McCrum in 1938. She worked for the government for about 25 years. She moved to Spokane Wash., where she went to work for the Spokane School District developing the teacher's center for 10 years. She was a member of the Eastern Star in Okinawa, Great Falls and Spokane Chapters, a member of the Lady Shriners and the Ladies of the Nile in Spokane, Washington. She volunteered at the Shriners Burn Center for children in Spokane, and at the Lake View Care Center and the art center in Bigfork.

Billie was a can-do person; she had many skills including painting, needlework and sewing.

Billie was preceded in death by her parents and her husband Aubrey McCrum. She is survived by her daughter Sandra Hults; stepson Don Carberry and his wife Carol; stepdaughter Gwen Pollard and her husband Jerry and their children; sister Anna Beth Hewgley; grandchildren Samuel B.

m#?. Evans Whitley Watkins  (b. Dec 27, 1906, Hot Springs, AR, d. June 5, 1964, Lackland AFB, Bexar Co., TX    Entombed at South Lawn Memorial Cemetery, Tucson, Pima Co., AZ.  Evans was first married to Katherine Nettie Fountain and they had the following children Joyce M and William Carter.  Evans divorced Katherine ca 1947-1948)
 
Willie "Billie" Lucille Stewart
  1900 - 1910 - Census - Living with parents
  1922 - City Directory - San Antonio - Living at 157 Mahncke Ct under name Willie Stewart
  1924 - City Directory - San Antonio - Living at 157 Mahncke Ct under name Willie Stewart. 

While some family members continued to live at this address, up to at least 1931, Willie does not appear in the San Antonio directory under the name Willie Stewart or at this address after 1924.
  Looking through the Texas marriage licenses and indexes. I found two possible marriages with women by the name of Willie Stewart.  There is not enough information to determine if the Willie Stewart in these two marriages is the Willie Stewart in this family.  I just placed the information here in case there may be a connection found later.
  1924 - Possible marriage to Thomas Grant May 13, 1924, Kaufman TX.  This marriage would have ended prior to Dec 28, 1926 when Thomas married again Maggie Wright Mixon
  1925 - Possible marriage to an Elzie Brown, Feb 25, 1925, Smith Co., TX,
  From 1924 up until 1962, when Willie is mentioned in her sister Mary Alva's obituary, Willie was a bit of a mystery.  Available online state marriage records are skimpy between this time period.  I believe she moved around a bit and may have had a few husbands along the way.  In her sister's 1962 obituary, she is mentioned as Mrs Willie Watkins of Tucson, AZ.

Also, somewhere along the line, her name evolved from Willie into Billie.  I thought this was a typo when I was tracking her in the Tucson City Directories, but "Billie" was confirmed in sister Eunice's obituary in 2000, where she is mentioned as Billie Watkins.  The SSDI also lists her name as Billie L Watkins.

Using a few of the online city directories for Tucson AZ, I tracked Billie who was listed as the wife of Evans W Watkins. Ancestry has sporadic city directory coverage for Tucson.  Using what they had, I pieced together the following:

   - 1948 - Evans Watkins is living in Tucson with first wife Kathleen Nettie Fountain. 
   - 1952 - Evans is still in Tucson directory, no wife listed
   - 1954 - First year Billie appears with Evans in Tucson
   - 1958, 1959 -- Evans and Billie still together in Tucson
 
  1953 - Married Evans Whitley Watkins ca 1953 -  Based on the City Directory information above, I can conclude that Billie (Willie) was already in or came to Tucson somewhere around 1952 - 1953.  The marriage of Evans and Billie took place between this time, most likely in Arizona.
 
1964 - Evans Whitley Watkins passes away after a month stay in hospital, June 5, 1964, Lackland AFB, Bexar Co., TX
