Burial: Unknown, Waco, TX
1/16 Cherokee Indian. Twin with James Edwin Riley

Jennie Florance Riley went to Coffeyville, Kansas to work.
This is where she met Robert (Bob Moore) Brownlow.
Robert (Bob Moore) Brownlow and Jennie Florance Riley were married in Coffeyville, KS.
Two children were born to Robert and Jennie Brownlow.
1. Robert Jr. (Moore) Brownlow
2. Billy Ray (Moore) Brownlow (Note from Gene Brownlow - Billy Ray Brownlow was actually Robert Martin Brownlow Jr. Son. born in 1949)
Jennie (Sissie) and Bob lived on a farm and dairy. Bob worked for Sam Benson.
Then Bob went to work for the Police Force in Coffeyville, Kansas.
Later they moved to Waco, Texas where Bob worked on the Police Force
until his death. Bob was in a car wreck while on duty and died Dec. 1, 1938
from the results of the wreck.
Sissie later went to California and lived with her son Bob Jr.
where she lived until her death Oct. 18, 1968.

Her death certificate says her birth date was 1901 but the 1920 census shows her to be 16 which means she would have been born in 1904. If this is true she would have been 17 when Robert Martin Jr. was born.

Jennie married Robert Martin Brownlow after Jan 1920 in Coffeyville, Kansas. Robert (son of Elias Albert Brownlow and Hatty Lou Boykin) was born on 13 May 1897; died on 1 Dec 1938 in Waco, Texas Rosemond Cemetary. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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. ____________________________________________________________ ________________________________________
