Mrs. Florence Granberry Passes at Daughter's Home
Mrs. Florence E. Granberry, an honored Brookhaven resident, passed away in the early hours of Tuesday after some days of critical illness in the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Hartman, which she shared on West Chickasaw Street. She was 78 years of age on Sept. 9 and had been in ill health about three years.
Mrs. Granberry was formerly Miss Florence Estella Gilchrist, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Gilchrist of Caseyville. She was educated at Whitworth College, Brookhaven. After her marriage to the late James Buckley Granberry, a member of a prominent Copiah county family, they made their home at Bowerton, in Copiah. A year or two after her husband's death which occurred in 1903, Mrs. Granberry and her trio of little daughters came to make their home in Brookhaven in order that the latter might attend the city schools and Whitworth College.
Reared as a Presbyterian, Mrs. Granberry, after her marriage became a member of the Methodist Church. From early youth, she was an exemplar of Christian virtues. Until ill health prevented, she was constant in attendance at the Sunday and mid-week services of the First Methodist church and meetings of the W. M. S. She was one of the last surviving members of the Cottage Prayer Meeting group of years ago.
Mrs. Granberry owned and occupied a home on West Chickasaw Street for virtually her entire residence in Brookhaven, but of late years, it had been converted into apartments and rented, and on account of her failing health, she and her youngest daughter, Miss Annie Granberry, a teacher in the city schools, lived at the house of another daughter of Mrs. Granberry, Mrs. A. S. Hartman, next door.
The loss of a devoted mother and grandmother comes as a sad blow to the two surviving daughters, Mrs. Hartman and Miss Granberry, who had been constant in their loving care and attentions, and the three loyal grandchildren, Mrs. Billy Stamps of Houston, Tex., Miss Flo Hartman who teaches in Tishomingo and Albert Hartman, a sophomore at Mississippi State College, Starkville.
The funeral took place at 10 a.m., Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hartman, the pastor of the First Methodist church, the Rev. M. L. McCormick, officiating, and Dr. J. A. Taylor, Baptist minister, assisting. Mr. McCormick paid a beautiful tribute to the inspiring memory of Mrs. Granberry, and Dr. Taylor made an eloquent prayer.
The presence at the funeral of a large company of friends, neighbors and relatives, and a profusion of exquisite floral offerings indicated the regard and sympathy they felt.
Interment was made at Rosehill cemetery after a brief service there.
Serving as pall bearers were Messrs. O. H. Hartman, Chas. D. Smith, V. D. Youngblood, Neil McLaurin, E. S. Bowlus and Dougal McCormick.
The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved family and relatives.
