Ruth Virginia Brazzil

[1] Admitted to the Texas Bar in 1912, she then began work in Austin for a member of the state legislature.

[5] Unlike Edith Wilmans and Nellie Gray Robertson, both of whom had been previously appointed and required to step aside, she had the required seven years' experience practicing law in the state, and she had a familiarity with property law,[1] which would be useful for the case at hand, as it involved property rights.

[2] Brazzil left Galveston in the 1920s and moved to Wharton County, where she married rice farmer[2] Roy Roome in December 1927.

[1] She appears to have given up the practice of law at this time, moving to the Texas Hill Country sometime late in the 1920s or early in the 1930s.

She collaborated with friends on a number of writing projects, and engaged in travel and genealogical research.
