Notes re Laura Leola Brooks:
Davis Cemetery Listing - Kolb, Leola L. (Brooks) b: 11-12-1876; d: 12-7-1899; w/o R. F. Kolb; d/o R. M. & J. E. Brooks.

Laura Leola's marker has died 7 Dec 1899 (dying after the birth of Leola 25 Nov 1899). But the mother was in the 28 Jun 1900 Census ("as of June 1, 1900"). Death of 7 Dec 1900 seems more logical. Robert did not remarry until 17 Nov 1901, which would have been 11 months after a Dec 1900 death. The Brooks parents were nearby in 1900.
Willie Elmo married Nora Mae Bristow; born 5 Aug 1897 Fisher Co TX died 1 Feb 1979 Sweetwater, Nolan, TX, also buried Belvieu Cemetery .
