Brewer, John Walker

Posted on by

BREWER, JOHN WALKER, was born 16 January 1893 on Shawnettee Creek, Wayne County, Tennessee. His parents were James Lewis Calvin BREWER “Jim Boy” and Mary Elizabeth RINKS. His grandparents were Henry B. BREWER (a “High” Sheriff of Wayne County), and Permelia RISNER BREWER; James Henry RINKS and Martha Jane MORRISON RINKS. John Walker BREWER was one of twelve children. A brother, Hershel, lives in Birmingham, Alabama. His only half sister, Tela BREWER MOORE, lives in Lawrenceburg.

John was inducted into service in Hardin County, Tennessee probably while “farming out” as he usually lived in Wayne County. He entered service on 26 October 1917, and served until 14 March 1919 when he received an honorable discharge.
