The Western Star, November 9, 1951. Early Settlers May Still Register for Roster
Installment II.Chas. E. Brown and his wife were visitors of the Western Star office Thursday morning of this week, Mr. Brown coming in to register on the roster of old-timers who have not previously registered.
The Star has published in two installments those who registered at the Comanche Pool Reunion or previously and desires to make the list as nearly complete as possible for future reference.
Charley came to Comanche county with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wash I. Brown, and their children in the spring of 1884 and has reamined here ever since.
Charley has worked all his life as a cowhand on ranches in Comanche and Clark counties and a few men in the county have derived as much pleasure in working with cattle and horses as Charley.
