She was called "Sister" by her brothers and sisters.

One day Amos was sitting on the front porch swing with a friend he was visiting, when he saw two young girls cross the road nearby. "See that dark headed girl down there", he said, to which his friend replied "yes, that's my cousin Katherine Brown". And Amos said, "Well, that's the girl I'm going to marry". They married on April 23, 1939.
It took three trips to the courthouse for my parents to get married. The first two times she backed out. The third time, when they reached the courthouse, her father asked, "well, Katherine, are you going up those steps this time?'". To which Daddy quickly replied, " Hell Yes. She's going up those steps if I have to carry her."
I've research my mother's male cousins and have concluded that the cousin sitting on the swing with my father was either Jesse or Joseph Logan. More likely Jesse.
