Myrtle’s Birthplace

Jo Littrell, the only connection that I can find to Chicago is 'Big Momma' (Rosa (Jones) Brown, who moved to Chicago after her husbands (William Thomas Brown) death in 1905. Rosa and William would be your mother's grandparents. She died in Chicago in 1920. Buried in Montrose Cemetery.No automatic alt text available.
