    Notes 
    • Robert Cecil McDaniel, in his autobiography, wrote that his Broach grandparents owned a boarding house located near the railroad depot in Crawford. His grandfather had a state license to practice law, but McDaniel didn't believe he ever followed the legal profession. He may have published a weekly newspaper in Crawford, and before the Model T days, he owned a livery stable. McDaniel's impression was that his grandfather was more of a "dreamer" than a "doer" and that his grandmother probably made the living.

    • In his autobiography, Robert Cecil McDaniel states that "My mother's parents, Frank and Kate Broach, moved to Fairdale from Timpson, Texas during the early part of this century. The exact date is unknown. Aunt Alice Broach was a postmistress there for a while, and Aunt Lucille Broach taught in Fairdale's early community school.

He died in 1932 (sic) and Grandma Broach died in 1938. Both are buried in the cemetery at Crawford."
