Vera Blanche Brawner was usually called by her middle name, Blanche. Her parents were Anna S and Albert S Brawner. The family lived in Baylor County, Texas, probably in or near the newly established town of Bomarton when she was young. She met her future husband there sometime before 1915. A short statement in the Baylor County Banner newspaper in the issue dated 23 September 1915 indicated that she was dating her future spouse, Willard Fred Truman (also called by his middle name, Fred).
“Miss Blanche Brawner, Miss Burnett Jones and Messrs. Paul Cox and Fred Truman attended the Knox County singing convention at Gillespie last Sunday.”
Fred and Blanche were married in 1916 in Baylor County. They had two children. Anna Sue was born in 1919 and Charles Fred in 1924.
Fred was a part owner and manager of the Truman Brothers Dry Goods Co. in Bomarton. The family business did well until it was destroyed by fire in the mid-1920s. Without the resources to rebuild, the Truman family began to disperse and seek new livelihoods. By 1930 Fred and Blanche Truman had moved with their two children and Blanche's mother to Denton, Texas, where he worked as manager of a truck line. In 1940, still living in Denton, Fred was owner/operator of a gasoline service station. He continued in that capacity in Denton until his death in 1966 at age 76. Blanche died in 1989 and was buried beside her husband of 50 years in Roselawn Cemetery in Denton.
