Notes for REVEREND ETTA LUTICIA BRASHER:

Etta and Ida were fraternal twins.  Etta was tall and lean and Ida wa s short and stocky.  Etta Luticia Brasher first married a man with nam ed William Marvin Durham.  From this union were produced Thomas and Ru by Durham.  Etta didn't raise these children, and they were farmed ou t to others to be raised.   There was a man named Nelson, who was a pi anist.  He played for Etta as she preached.  They fell in love and mar ried.  Then she married a Larkin Nelson Martin with whom she had Ida E lizabeth Martin.  Ida Elizabeth Martin was raised mainly by Liz Marti n Cook Rodrick until she became ill.  After this, the two moved in Wit h Aunt Annie, and the children she was raising from her sister.  Afte r Liz Rodrick's death, Aunt Annie finished raising Elizabeth (along wi th the Harris family).   After Larkin's death in 1916 from pneumonia, she married William Harvey Redwine (who is from Knoxville.  His funera l was actually held in Knoxville, but because Etta was buried at Chest ua, that is where he chose to be buried.)  She had quite a few jobs. One was a traveling evangelist/minister, another with a political comp any and later on in her life a seamstress.  Elizabeth had a feeling sh e needed to see her mother, so she sold an insurance policy and caugh t a bus to Vensiance, IN (where Ron was born).  When Liz got there sh e found out her mother was sick and was going into the hospital the ne xt day.  They found out she had Uterine cancer.  Etta only lived a fe w days after her surgery.
