Brehe Family, Land and Business.

Thanks to Bob and Zelda Dubel

Note: I see Kelly Bros. name on one wagon; could be my uncles who lived in Fort Smith 1909. Don't know what business they were in, but their father, my grandfather, was a stone mason, built tomstone inscriptions too beautiful to describe. Most are still standing a hundred years later.
