According to story told by Laura Donaldson Brasfield to Lois Marquiss Brasfield, one of the other 2 brothers was a baker and paid to put Charles Donaldson through medical school with the understanding that once he graduated that Charles would pay the baker's tuition to medical school in return, but never did.
