description: Burney Calloway Brown was born September 9, 1902, in Smithfield, Texas. He was the son of Louia B. Brown and Halice Calloway Hightower Brown. Burney helped his father and four brothers in the cattle business. They bred and raised purebred livestock and exhibited their Shorthorn cattle at Fort Worth's Southwestern Exposition and Fat Stock Show. In 1925, Burney married Louise Quayle, born January 21, 1907, daughter of Macon F. Quayle and Mittie Belle Mitchell Quayle of Smithfield, Texas.

They built a new home, and Burney went into the dairy business there. At this time, Shirley was 11 years old and Linda Kay was 18 months. After several years, Burney developed a serious and disabling illness, and the Browns traded their farm for a home in Haltom City owned by Early and Ada Newman. The Newmans would one day become Shirley's in-laws. At this time, Shirley was in high school at Amon Carter Riverside, and Linda Kay was in first grade at Smithfield Elementary. To prevent Linda Kay from being moved from familiar surroundings, her mother drove her to Smithfield from Haltom City each day to attend school. After two years in Haltom City, however, the Browns realized they belonged in Smithfield and moved back. They built a home at the corner of Lewis Land and Newman Drive. By this time, Bu…
