Grover and Millie Brown in the Louisville City Directories

Where did Grover and Millie Brown live in Louisville?

Using information from City Directories and some other records, we can track where Grover and Millie lived and worked while they were in Louisville.

Phillip Michael Brown

I already covered the second half of 1941 in my post 1941 - Millie's Stressful Year. Her father had died, her older brother, Peter, was a POW in the Philippines, her younger brother, Fred, was also in the army, and she was pregnant with her first child.

Their first child, Linda Lee (my mother) was born in May 1942. She was the first of 5 children.

Five you ask? Most of us may only know about four: Linda, Peter, Julia and Douglas. But they had another child, Phillip Michael Brown. 

Peter Hendy Tschudi - WWII POW

Peter Henry Tschudi, Millicent's older brother, was a prisoner of war in World War II.

Private Peter Henry Tschudi

There is a very detailed story about his time in the Army posted on the Bataan Project website. I encourage you to read his story. He went through absolute hell during his time as a prisoner and he was a true hero. We should all be proud of him!

1941 - Millie's Stressful Year

Millie and Grover were married in August 1941.

After they married, Grover moved in with Millie, into her father's house at 1308 Rufer Avenue. Her father, Peter C. Tschudi, had owned this house since about 1937. He worked at the Stimpson Computing Scale Co since moving to Louisville from Detroit.
