Charles Porter Brizzee (first son of Henry Willard Brizzee and Emily Amanda Rockwell). A family story is that he was a great horseman. He lived in Grouse Creek, Utah and would drive the horses up to the Rexburg Bench, Idaho to the summer pasture. I understand that he is buried in Salt Lake City, Utah. His wife Sarah Hall, divorced him over his drinking and married a man named Jensen. It caused some bitterness I suspect when Jensen wanted the kids sealed to them. I don’t know what he did or lived after Sarah left him. His 4th son was named Henry Willard Brizzee ( my grandfather). He homesteaded west of Rexburg, Idaho where my father was born. The 5th son, Roy, struck out on his own and was never heard from again. They think he went to St. Louis or Iowa. I have a cousin Roy Brizzee. Henry (b. 1877) was married to Ruth Arnold who died not long after their first son was born and whom they named Henry Willard Brizzee, Jr. (my uncle). |
