His paternal grandfather D.W. Cobb homesteaded what became the town of Cobb north of Durant and also gave the land that became the original Cobb school. His maternal grandfather Robert Brown homesteaded what became the town of Brown north of Durant and also ran the post office in Brown.

Interestingly enough; the post office at Brown was originally called Robbers Roost, but in 1909 the U.S. post office refused to continue a mail route called Robbers Roost, so Robert Brown suggested his last name of Brown which was eventually agreed upon.
