Lewis Brewer with Mule Team in Dade County, Missouri
Lewis Brewer, b. 1880 May 19th in Barton county, Missouri, was a sibling of Bettie Brewer Noyes, and son of David Nathaniel Brewer and Delana L. Jane Fowler. This photo, contributed by Jim and Dieanna Swearngin, would likely have been taken in Dade County, Missouri, where Lewis lived. He died May 19, 1932 so we’re looking a date some time in the 1920s I imagine.
Lewis Brewer with mule team
Lewis married Pearl Eva Jones on 1902 July 4 in Everton, Dade, Missouri. She died 1966 May 10. Their son was Clyde E. Brewer b. 1904 in Missouri.
The 1920 census shows Lewis in Pilgrim, Dade, Missouri, living not far from his sister Jessie Brewer Jones, married to Levy Jones.

The 1930 census again shows Lewis in Pilgrim, Dade, Missouri. He appears to be living next to his nephew, Davie Brewer, born about 1902, who was a son of Daniel Brewer and Rose E. Trent. Daniel Brewer was a son of David Nathaniel Brewer and Delana L. Jane Fowler.

If this is Lewis Brewer’s land, I’m wondering if that hill in the background isn’t instead an Indian mound. The shape is suggestive of one.
Before 1939 Brewer, Spurling and Jones Family Gathering
This photo of a family gathering, supplied by Nancy Benton, is of an event which would have occurred before 1939 as Delana Fowler Brewer is shown and she died November 4, 1939 at Oscaloosa in Dade County, Missouri.
The first photo is the original.
Brewer-Spurling-Jones Family Gathering
Just wanted to show that because I needed to mock up a lower part of the photo in order to not cut out the gentleman on the left.
Original. Courtesy Nancy Benton.
Below, to add some definition, I did a quick color job, nothing detailed as the photo is too lo-fi.
Brewer-Spurling-Jones family gathering, tinted
Now for identifications supplied by Nancy Benton. The third man over in the back row (with the hat) is Charles Bryant, b. 1890, husband of Pansy Ruth Noyes. In front of him is Delana Fowler Brewer, b. 1854, the matriarch of this clan photo. The woman behind the smallest girl is Edith Gilmore Brewer b. abt. 1894, wife of Robert Walter Brewer, b. 1890, a son of Delana’s. Next to her is Bettie Brewer Noyes, daughter of Delana, b. 1877. Between and behind them is Pansy Noyes Bryant, b. 1895. The man next to Pansy (looking over Bettie’s left shoulder) is Walter Brewer and Jessie Brewer Jones, another daughter of Delana’s, b. 1888, is to the right of Bettie.
I think the man on the far right would be Levy Jones, b. 1883, husband of Jessie Brewer Jones.
All the individuals to our left of Delana are unidentified, as is the woman with the curly dark hair standing to the right of Delana. The two girls in front are unidentified. The man standing hidden behind the two women in the middle of the photo is unidentified. The young man limbing the house is unidentified, as is the young man behind Jessie Brewer Jones.
The Spurlings are Mary Katherine Brewer Spurling, b. 1872, another daughter of Delana’s. She married three times, to a George Spurling, and they had a son named Earl, and also to a man named Rhodes (this was before 1939) and a Robert L. Trent. I don’t know the order of the marriages.
If Mary Katherine Brewer Spurling is in the photo, she is in her 60s and is either going to be the woman on the far left or the woman standing to the right of Delana (just left of center of the photo).
Dorothy Noyes McKenney (a daughter of Bettie Brewer Noyes) and her husband, Lloyd, aren’t in the photo. Also, Ray Noyes, husband of Bettie Brewer Noyes, wasn’t identified by Nancy Benton as being in the photo.
The reunion was perhaps to honor Delana, who died at the age of 85 in 1939. I don’t know the location of the photo but it is likely in Dade county, Missouri.
Another photo from the same gathering shows Bettie Brewer Noyes, sister Jessie Brewer Jones, their mother Delana, and an unknown individual. I imagine it is one of Delana’s sons, possibly Robert Walter who is seen in the family group picture as well but his face is obscured in the second row.

Photos of David Nathaniel Brewer, Rachel Jane Brewer Henderson and Lewis Brewer
The digital file of this photo came to me via Dieanna and Jim Swearngin. They were uncertain of who the woman in the photo was. Fortunately, I have a photo of Rachel Jane Brewer Henderson from this era and it matches her in appearance. David Nathaniel Brewer b. 1850 Oct 31 at Pleasant, Steuben, Indiana, was a sibling of Rachel Jane Brewer b. 1852 Oct 6 at Terra Haute, Vigo, Indiana. She married Atwell Henderson 1866 in Moutrie, Illinois and they settled in Chautauqua County, Kansas. David married Delana L. Jane Fowler 1869 March 1 at Osage Mission, Neosho, Kansas and they settled first in Central, Barton county, Missouri and then in Dade county, Missouri. I’m currently uncertain where this photo might have been taken, but as it passed down through the Levy Jones and Jessie Brewer Jones family it may have been taken in Dade county where Jessie and Levy lived.

Above is the original photo. As with almost all my files, it was a small digital file but I thought it might be nice to try touching it up just a little in order to distinguish David and Rachel just a little from the surroundings.

Another photo appears to be from the same day and shows three unidentified men.

I did a little fixing up of it.
Brewer men
My guess is that Lewis Brewer is the individual in the middle, b. 1880, son of David Nathaniel Brewer and Delana Fowler Brewer.
Here is a group shot of David and Delana’s family showing Lewis Brewer. He is the man in the middle of the top row. To learn more about the below photo click here.

Here, I’ve tried to add a little more body to it.
Family of David Nathaniel Brewer and Delana Louise Jane Fowler
Rarely do I have a photo showing a full family and am lucky to have this as it has enabled me to make possible identifications on other photos.
Shown in the photo are top row, left to right: Dan, Bettie, Lewis, Jessie, Elmer. Bottom row left to right: Mary, Dave, Walter, Delana, John.
This was taken, what, circa 1909 or 1910 in likely Dade county, Missouri.
A post on the family is here.
Daniel b. 1874 was the third child, Bettie b. 1877 was the fifth, Lewis, born 1880 was the 6th child, not shown is the 7th child named Lois who only lived 1880 to 1881, Jessie b. 1888 was the 10th child, Elmer b. 1883 was the 8th child. Mary b. 1872 was the 2nd child, Dave is the father b. 1850, Walter was the 11th child b. 1890, Delana is the mother b. 1854, and John is the eldest child b. 1869.
Not shown also is Alva who lived from 1885 to 1909. My belief is his death was likely the inspiration for this family photo. Robert Walter was driving a buggy through a creek, and the buggy overturned, throwing “the boys” out. Alva, trying to help the horse out, stepped into a deep hole and was drowned and not found until the following day.
Note that in the front row we have the eldest daughter sitting beside her father, the eldest boy sitting beside the mother, and Walter, the youngest, who was with Alva when he drowned, in the center between his parents.
Photo of Russel (Russell) Dean Jones
Russell Dean Jones b. 1918 Feb 25 in Missouri, died 1920 Feb 5 in Dade county, Missouri, was the son of Elbert Jones and Blanche Griffith. Elbert was the son of William C. Jones and Luttie Steeley. And William C. Jones was the son of Fleming Jones and Mary Funk. This and related families were in Dade County early on, coming from Kentucky, and a number of Jones families in Dade descend from them.
Rosa Bell Jones, Levy Jones and Pearl Jones, all of the Jones family, married Brewers. Rosa b. 1885, who married Elmer Brewer (son of David Nathaniel and Delana Fowler Brewer) was a daughter of James Jones, who was a brother of the above William C. Levy and Pearl were siblings and children of William C. Pearl, b. May 5, 1885 in Dade county, Missouri, on July 4 1902 in Everton, Dade, Missouri married Lewis Brewer. Levy was married to Jessie Brewer.
The 1900 census shows Elbert (listed in the census as Albert) in the household of his father, William C. Pearl is also shown, listed as Emma P.
