From Sandy Joy ( Lee ) Hall
Helen was my mother. She and my father divorced when I was 10 months old, and she married Bob Brownlow when I was 3. I was not related to Bob, but did live with him until he and Helen divorced....I was Bob’s step-daughter. I started school in Waco when we lived in Mrs. (Florence) Brownlow’s house. When I was in the third grade Bob and Helen bought a new home out by Lake Waco and I was in school there when they divorced and we moved to Corpus Christi. Cheryl was also in school there, but Billy had not yet started school.

I remember Bob being a terrific gymnast. We would go over to the Baylor University Campus where they had some outdoor bars and rings and Bob would use those. He was very strong.

He was also very intelligent. He worked for what was then called Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. His job, as I understood it, was to travel from relay station to relay station...they were/are small brick buildings located along the highways. He would either take readings or work on equipment at each station. It was in his travels when he met the woman he married after he and Helen divorced. He was married to that woman when he got into a fight and shot and killed a man. I kind of remember if was someone with status in the Dallas area where they shooting occurred, but by that time I was in Corpus living with Martha Pearl and Johnnie Eugene Chandler, my grandparents. Helen married again after we moved to Corpus; he husband was in the Navy so they moved to Massachusetts where Helen worked at the NAS in Civil Service so I lost track of Bob at that point. I had gone to spend two weeks with him and his second wife when I was 13...this being before the shooting.

While in prison Bob also offered his body to medical science for trial medications and procedures. In fact, they even took biopsies from his body to test after he had been on some of the medications. He was a “human guinea pig”. I don’t think he had any residual health problems from those tests, however, how would we have known? He did gain an inordinate amount of weight after he got out of prison. Bob was also a very talented artist. He made me a tray with match sticks and cut marbles in a design that was extremely intricate. Billy Bob must have inherited some of that artistic talent, as he also made lovely leaded glass lamps and oil paintings. ____________________________________________________________ ________________________________________
I found a divorce document for Robert M Martin and Betty M Moyer in Jan 1969 in Alameda Calif. This would allow for his next marriage to Lola Helen Gerhart in Sept 1969, Reno Nevada.

From Sandy Joy (Lee) Brownlow
I received your email via Bob Webb and I have some clarifications to make on your information. Cheryl Jean Brownlow was the oldest child of Helen and Bob. Cheryl’s first marriage was to Daniel O’Keefe; they had four children, Daniel, Jr is the oldest. All four of these children live in Maryland. Your information is correct regarding Tiffany. Those are the five children of Cheryl. There were no other children born with her other marriages.

Billy Bob Brownlow (no Ray in his name) was legally adopted to a childless couple by the name of Moore in Corpus Christi. Billy Bob Moore is encrypted in a cemetery in Corpus Christi, TX. He had a daughter, Jennifer, when he was married to Linda Brownlow; this daughter is younger than Cheryl’s first four children; Tiffany is Cheryl’s youngest child. After Billy and Linda divorced we lost all track of the child Jennifer Moore, as her mother broke all ties with Helen, Cheryl and Billy Bob.

So, the oldest grandchild of Robert Martin Brownlow, Jr. is Daniel O’Keefe. His phone number is 410-804-8491.

Helen married Bob Brownlow when I was three years old in 1946 or 7. I lived with them in Waco until they divorced in 1953 or 54. Florence Brownlow, Bob’s mother, also lived with us. Actually we lived in her house at 1526 N. 7th St. in Waco. After the divorce Helen, Cheryl, Billy and I moved back to Corpus Christi where Helen went to work for Civil Service at NAS Corpus Christi. At that point I moved in with my maternal grandparents and lived there until I graduated from high school.

Bob Brownlow went to Huntsville prison for manslaughter after he and Helen were divorced. He had another marriage and divorce with no children after his divorce from Helen. He apparently straightened out his life while in prison and married for a third time to a lady named Lola when he was released. Bob and Lola were living in Alameda County, California, at the time of his death.
