GEORGE DILLARD BROOKS (1877-1966) married CHARLIE MARVIN MEEK BROOKS (1880-1966). They farmed near Freeman Cemetery and are buried there, along with one INFANT DAUGHTER BROOKS (1904-1904). Their son, Dillard Brooks (1906-1995), and his wife, Ima McLean Brooks (1909-2000), were community leaders and life-long members of First Methodist Church in Martin. Dillard served on the board of directors at City State Bank. They are buried in East Side Cemetery in Martin.
