Francis Brizzee

 

Henry Willard Brizzee (b.1877) married Nora Gunnell from Wellsville, Utah who raised Henry and had 4 children of her own. The children after Henry Jr. were Ireta, Francis, Charles Porter (my dad) and Barbara. My dad passed away in 1987. His good friends and family called him “Charley Brizzee”. He was always proud to have been named after Porter Rockwell and inherited one of Port’s pistols.
