Team Photo Circa 1915
This is a team photo of my wife's grandfathers baseball team. Charles Lloyd Brown was born in 1895. My wife's mother ( Hester Brown) was born in 1922 and I am sure the photo is taken before that.
I have done a little research and have come up with very little-just want to share it and if anyone does know anything -please tell CharlesLloydBrown.jpg CLB3.jpg CLB2.jpg CLB4.jpg

That way we'll have a double barrel activity in the Bull Pen. It isn't every day that a baseball forum can help a fellow member with a personal baseball research.

Cubs), along with the vertical lettering. It did not stay popular long - just a few years. (see also PCL teams for similar). I would say U of Oklahoma is a good guess if your wife's grandfather may have attended - directly contacting their athletic dept miay be a good place to start. bmarlowe1 View Public Profile Send a private message to bmarlowe1 Send email to bmarlowe1 Find all posts by bmarlowe1 Add bmarlowe1 to Your Contacts #12 Today, 02:58 PM NashvilleBaseball Jeremy Member Join Date: May 2009 Location: Nashville, Tn.

Nashvillebaseball (Hi Jeremy). I have only met you once at the National but he looks like a relative of yours. Any relatives from Okalahoma? Looks Native American." - Interesting you mention this b/c after looking at that photo, it reminded me of my Dad as there are a few photo's of my father we have when he was younger that look very similar to that dude and yes, we have Native American Indian in us ! Also, English and German !! Our families are from Kentucky/Tennessee area. I do have some relatives in Oklahoma, but not sure of origins.... You never know. That fella could be my great uncle ! lol __________________ Collector of Nashville & Southern Minor League Memorabilia 1886-2009 (T206,T210,T211,T213,E254,E270,W601,N172,N173) NashvilleBaseball View Public Profile Send a private message to NashvilleBaseball Send email to NashvilleBaseball Find all posts by NashvilleBaseball Add NashvilleBaseball to Your Contacts #13 Today, 03:52 PM cfc1909 Jim R Member Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Maryland Posts: 523 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok just got back in -I will post over the other side- ok it is over there now -thank you guys __________________ JR cfc1909 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by cfc1909; Today at 03:58 PM.

Jim: If the photo was taken in McAlester Okla. that's where I would start. Per the internet there is only one high school there, namely McAlester HS. Might it be associated with one of the reservations? Learned that Pepper Martin was from McAlester but he'd have been too young, born in '05. Here is a link to the McAlester Chamber of Commerce-maybe someone at the local library can pick up the trail (918-426-0930). A worthwhile mystery to be solved, freeing your wife's grandfather from the darkness of history.

Here are some great links that are full of info and some nice pics of Oklahoma Sports teams. I think it is really well done and it mentions several local teams as well as High School competion info. I think if you really dig into all the info, you might find the missing link.
Bob Burke and Larry O'Dell of the Oklahoma Historical Society really have done a great job. At the bottom of each page are "quick links" for Golf, Sports, Indains, etc. all pertaining to Oklahoma. Below are two links: One for Baseball and one for Football. Football link has a Great photo. Hope this helps http://digital.library.okstate.edu/e...s/B/BA030.html http://digital.library.okstate.edu/e...s/F/FO015.html |
