A story is told about the Frank Brown family. One version is that Mary
Rogers Brown and all but one of the children were brutally slain and
that on his death bed, Frank confessed that it was he who had killed
all of them. They were buried in a common grave somewhere in Texas.
Another version is that the eldest daughter had six children and was
in poor health and lost her mind. While her husband was in the fields
working, she killed all her children and herself. Neither version has
been proven, However.
