Sara Martin Brown Papers (#5049) 1895, 1924-1979

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/b/Brown,Sara_Martin.html

Sara Martin Brown of Liberty County, Ga., was married to Roberts H. Brown, a lawyer who served as speaker of the Alabama House of State Representatives, 1951-1953. Sara Brown's mother was Corrie McDowell Martin, and her sister, Mary Louise Perkins, was an artist who died in a plane crash on 3 June 1962 at the end of a European tour sponsored by the Atlanta Art Association. The collection consists chiefly of correspondence and other items, 1895-1979, relating to Sara Martin Brown and to members of the Martin, Perkins, and Brown families of Georgia, Alabama, and Texas. The largest concentration of correspondence is to and from Sara Martin in 1935 during her engagement to Roberts H. Brown. These letters document their daily lives, wedding plans, family affairs, and education. Scattered family correspondence includes letters discussing military life in World War II, business endeavors, education, health, social engagements, and travel; 1924 letters from Roberts H. Brown's family to him at Culver Military Academy; and 1962 postcards from Mary Louise Perkins describing her experiences on the Atlanta Art Association's European tour. Newspaper clippings include accounts of Mary Louise Perkins's death and the civic activities of other family members. There are also a few photographs of Sara Martin Brown and Roberts H. Brown.
