DEATH OF MR. F. L. BRINSON: After a long illness that finally brought on tetanus, Mr. Frank L. Brinson breathed his last in Augusta on the 31st day of December where he had been carried to be treated. It was a sad death as Mr. Brinson had hardly passed the prime of life and had always up to the time of his last illness been a hearty and robust man. Around him at the time of death were all of his immediate family who were sorely stricken by this blow. He had attained the age of 52 years and leaves a widow and five children.
Mr. Brinson was held as one of the most popular citizens of Burke county and had represented this county twice in the legislature besides holding several times important county offices.
His remains were brought to this place and interred in the new cemetery Sunday afternoon. A large concourse of relatives, friends and acquaintances attended the body to its last resting place. From the dwelling of the deceased, the Masonic fraternity took charge and conducted the last sad rites, after a short house service by rev. O. J. Copeland, pastor of the baptist church, of this city, of which the deceased was a member. The solemn rites of Masonry was observed in due form and very impressively at the grave. Judge P. P. Johnston, W. M., paid an appropriate tribute to the deceased brother.
The Citizen with a large number of friends and relatives tender its sympathy to the bereaved family.
