Ancestors of Terence Lee "Terry" Duniho

       2. Ester Elven "Jack" Duniho, born April 29, 1914 in Cleburne, Johnson County, Texas; died May 01, 1995 in Fort Collins, Larimer Co., CO. He was the son of 4. John Thomas Duniho and 5. Lula Harriet Curtis. He married 3. Emma LOUISE BREWER August 10, 1935 in Dallas, Texas.
       3. Emma LOUISE BREWER, born December 08, 1914 in Denton, DENTON CO., TX. She was the daughter of 6. Ernest Mood BREWER and 7. EFFIE MAE Waggoner.

Notes for Ester Elven "Jack" Duniho:
Beulah McDowell, his step-sister, told me in 1995 that "Jack worked in a
Doll Factory in Eagle Ford Pass, just below the train station, 11 miles
from Dallas". Her recollection is that he worked there with Chester, M.A.,
Ellis [Littrell] and Bill McDowell [her brother]. This is probably the same
as the children's furniture factory that Jack tells about in his autobiography.

Notes for Emma LOUISE BREWER:
As with her siblings, Emma Louise Brewer was raised in the Methodist
Church. She became a choir member at an early age, where she sang Alto.
She often sang duets with her sister, Rubye, and also was a member of the
Brewer family quartet for many years. She married shortly after
graduating from high school, and is the mother of six children. Since
her husband, Jack Duniho, was a career military officer, she lived at army
& air bases in many states, and overseas. After Jack retired from the military
service, they have spent a major part of their lives travelling to see
their children and the multitude of friends formed during their military
experiences. At the time of this writing, 1994, they live in Fort
Collins, Colorado. Postscript: Jack Duniho died on 1 May 1995.
