ReplyDeleteIf so you come from a beautiful family inside and out. They were a part of Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church in Kentwood. My grandmother sung in the choir with Ms Daisy Brumfield for years and she also remembers Ms Daisy's father and mother. She told me before I actually saw this picture that he use to ride on a beautiful horse. To see this picture makes me appreciate all of her long talks about the past. I remember Ms Daisy she was a beautiful spirit and such a great inspiration. She will always be remembered and missed by Sweet Home.

ReplyDeleteThis comment is in regards to information I gave on my g. g. Uncle Arthur Brumfield on Febuary 12, 2015. I looked back later in my information on my Brumfield family and discovered I had given wrong name for Arthur's first wife, her name was Bertha Slocum, not Mary neither Martha Slocum. Thank You.
