~OBITUARY OF DR. WILLIAM J. BREWER
Monday afternoon relatives and friends filled to capacity the Baptist Church of this city as they gathered to pay tribute to Dr. William J. BREWER, who passed away Saturday morning, May 1, following an illness of several weeks duration. The beauty of many flowers expressed to the loved ones the sympathy of many friends here and elsewhere.
Rev. R. S. McClung, pastor of the Baptist church, paid fitting tribute to the life and work of ministration of Dr. BREWER in his reading and commendation of the Twenty-third Psalm. The sweet, solemn music of the double quartet touched each heart as they sang "Abide With Me", "Saved By Grace", and "One Day Nearer". The quartet was composed of Mrs. Carl Ellis, Mrs. R. P. Hurn, Mrs. Dewey Allen, Mrs. W. E. Foglesong, Addison Cutter, A. K. Wooten, J. M. Jackson and Robert Lawrence with Mrs. J. M. Jackson at the piano.
Pallbearers were Jack R. ALLEN, I. R. BUCHANAN, Oscar FLOWERS, Carl ELLIS, C. B. ROGERS and Dewey ALLEN. Honorary pallbearers Dr. G. L. KENGLE, Dr. J. P. POWELL, Dalhart; Dr. J. E. GOWER, Spearman; Dr. E. R. JARVIS, Dr. Manse WOOD, Geo. M. PERRY, J.N. CONLEY, Frank DODSON Sr., C. C. CARTER, M. R. COFFEE, J. W. RICHARDSON, Ecton LAWRENCE, L. H. LANCE, J. L. DODSON, R. T. SHINDLER, A. J. KELLY, W. B. LaMASTER, Geo. RUPPRECHT, J. C. BEEVER, W. B. IRVIN and H. C. SANFORD.
Members of Mrs. BREWER's Sunday School class acted as flower bearers and the others marched in the procession. The Masons were in charge of the Services at the Ochiltree Cemetery, where the body was laid to rest.
William J. BREWER was born October 26, 1871, near Murfreesboro, Arkansas to Mr. and Mrs. J. C. BREWER. Shortly after his third birthday, his parents emigrated to East Texas, locating at Sulphur Bluff. Here without the aid of his mother, who died when he was just a little boy, he grew to manhood with the determination to make of himself, a man of medicine, so that he could relieve his fellow man of suffering and distress.
His medical education was started in Barnes Medical College, St. Louis, Missouri, returning to Texas he received his certificate to practice. He then located in Hopkins county and began his first work at Weaver in 1895. Later he continued his studies at Tulane university, New Orleans, and in Memphis, Tennessee, and on several different occasions he did post-graduate work at the Chicago Poly Clinic.
Dr. BREWER moved to Ochiltree County in February 1908, and here followed his chosen profession of mercy for almost thirty years, with the exception of nine months in 1919 when he opened an office in Texline but returned shortly after the town of Perryton started. In 1913 he formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, Dr. J. T. GUTHRIE. This association lasted until Dr. GUTHRIE's death. Later he was joined with Dr. Oscar E. BLANK, who passed on in 1925. For several years past he has been connected with Dr. G. L. KENGLE in the operation of the Perryton Hospital, in which hospital he passed away on May 01, in spite of every devise that brother physicians and loving care could administer.
At the age of twenty-three, Dr. BREWER professed faith in Christ and became a member of the Baptist Church. On May 21, 1899, he was married to Miss Martha May GADDY at Sulphur Bluff, Texas. Mrs. BREWER and two daughters, Mrs. Jack O. LUSHER, Fort Worth, and Mrs. J. B. BOCKMAN, Roswell, New Mexico, mourn the departure of this kind and loving husband and father. Other close surviving relatives are a granddaughter, Jacklyn LUSHER; a brother, J. H. BREWER, Childress; and three sisters: Mrs. J. T. GUTHRIE, Perryton, Mrs. J. C. HARGRAVE, Paris, and Mrs. J. H. GUTHRIE, Plainview.
At the time of his death Dr. BREWER was health officer for both the City of Perryton and Ochiltree county. He was past master of the local Masonic lodge, a member of the Royal Arch, the Canadian Commandry and Khiva Shrine Temple, Amarillo.
Dr. BREWER was a man of generous impulses, never forgetting the hospitable ways of the pioneer. The stranger, even though a begger, never failed to find food, aid and shelter. He had enjoyed prosperity quietly and had borne adversity bravely. He had filled the various relations of life, as son, husband, father, brother, friend and filled them well. Who can do more?
