What the source supports

That Elizabeth Brown of Berryville was named in 1923 as a daughter of Charles F. Brown.

Uncertainty

The page image was read twice, the second time independently, and both readings agree. The page prints "Miss Elizabeth Brown, of Berryville"; an earlier OCR text had read "Elisabeth." She is known here only from her father's obituary, which the OCR garbles heavily. Her father has no record here, so no kinship record is made.
