Clois Brown is not Estelle Wray's Biological Mother. She is her step mother. Her biological mother's name is Olive Whaley Brown and I believe she is in the same cemetery near Estelle's brother Richard and Sister Helen. Olive died in 1937 of cancer when Estelle was 8 years old. Also Her son Robert C. Miller has passed as well and is located in the Dishman Cemetery.
