I have a quote from Norman Norris Rodgers from long ago. He said, "In 1871, 1872, and part of 1873, I was working on a ranch in Coleman County, Texas. Boley Brown also worked on the same ranch and by constantly suffering hardships together we became life long friends. I named my oldest son Willis Boley after him." He wrote that note after Boley Brown diedin June of 1911.
