Aunt Jennie and Uncle Clarence

Aunt Jennie and Uncle Clarence
This is another photo from Elvis J. Brassfield's album. It is captioned "Aunt Jennie and Uncle Clarence". The photo appears twice in the album and is grouped with photos of the funeral for Nellie Bell (Bates/Brassfield) Evers, in 1940, though the date I have was late October, and doesn't seem to match the tree foliage and clothing.

Clarence Dickson (Dixon?) Brassfield was born January 7, 1895 in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa to Elvis H. Brassfield and Nellie Bell (Bates) Brassfield. He was Floyd Gipson Brassfield's older brother. He married Jennie Elvera Martinson May 4, 1924 in Sioux City, Iowa. Clarence died in California June 23, 1941. He is buried at Floyd Cemetery, Sioux City, Iowa.

Jennie Elvera Martinson was born June 24, 1891 in Iowa. She died May 13, 1975 in Inglewood, California.
