R. C. Bratton was taken to Hayswood Hospital, Maysville, the same day his wife, who died last week, was buried, and just one week after her funeral was held. Last rites were conducted for him.
Almost a week to the hour after the death of his wife, R. C. Bratton, substantial Robertson County farmer living near Mt. Olivet, died Sunday morning at 5:25 o’clock at Hayswood Hospital after a brief illness of pneumonia and complications. He would have been 61 years old next February 2nd.
Mr. Bratton was admitted to the hospital in critical condition, late Tuesday, following funeral services for his wife, Mrs. Martha Adaline Stevenson Bratton, whose death followed a long illness of more than a year. A native of Robertson County, Mr. Bratton was among its best known citizens and most influential farmers. He was a member of Foster Chapel Church.
He and Mrs. Bratton were married December 23, 1905, and had three children one of whom, Claude D., died in infancy.
Surviving are one son, Jennings Bratton, a daughter, Mrs. Kenneth Culp, and two grandchildren, Bettie Bratton and Barbara Ann Culp, all of Robertson County. Also, one sister, Miss Jessie Bratton, and one aunt, Mrs. Dave Casey, both of Claysville.
Final services took place Tuesday afternoon at Foster Chapel, with the pastor, Rev. I. C. Wright and Rev. A. D. Houglin, officiating. Burial was made beside his wife in the church cemetery.
