John Jackson Tully, Jr. was living in Elyria, Valley Co., NE with his wife of 19
years named Eva.
The 1910 census showed John and Irena Tully had had 12 children, nine of whom
were living.
To earn her way through college, Bashie worked for Dr. Reed of the Nebraska
State Extension Service. This service provided education to people in rural
areas in need of an education or information. After Bashie graduated in 1910
from the University of Nebraska with a degree in Theater she worked for the
Nebraska State Extension Service helping rural schools by directing plays
throughout the state. She did this from 1910 until she was married to Louis
Clark Brown on 6-14-1916.
They had a mountain cabin in the 1920's in Chrisman, Colorado and they enjoyed
climbing the mountains. Both were very active physically and enjoyed the out
of doors. For about the last 12 years of her life Bashie was on crutches due
to injury to her hip caused by a fall. She enjoyed membership in AAUW and for
over 50 years she was active in reunions of the University of Nebraska class
of 1910. She always had beautiful flower gardens wherever she lived.
Bashie and Louis were active supporters of the Vine Congregational church in
Lincoln.
Politically Bashie was a Democrat, she was concerned about social justice and
believed that the government should help people in need. She strongly
influenced some members of her family with her values. Louis Brown told the
compiler that she was a good writer and had written speeches for some state
politicians.
Bashie's mother was a Christian Scientist and the family would visit doctors
only with great reluctance.
Bashie was buried in Ridge Cemetery at Fremont, Nebraska.
