Henry Bramel died Thursday morning at 8 o'clock at his
home near Washington. He had been afflicted with
Bright's disease for the past year or two. For
several days his condition had been very serious, and
his friends and relatives had realized that his end
was near. In his death Mason County suffers the loss
of one of her prominent and successful farmers.
The deceased was a native of Maryland, and was in the
seventy-seventh year of his age. Although a native of
Maryland, most of his life was spent in this county,
his father, Samuel Bramel, having removed here when
the deceased was about two years of age. Among the
farmers of this community it may be said that few were
more thrifty and industrious than the deceased, and as
a result he amassed a considerable fortune.
In 1839 or 1840, the deceased was united in marriage
to Mary Taylor, daughter of Rev. Caleb Taylor, of the
Methodist Church. His wife and five children survive
him. J. T. Bramel, of the firm of Parker and Bramel,
of this city, is the only surviving son. The other
children who are left to mourn his death are Mrs. John
Power, living near this city; Mrs. J. d. Reese, of
Fern Leaf; and Mrs. J. B. Keay and Mrs. Thomas
Allison, of the Washington precinct. The deceased had
three children, all sons, to die in their childhood.
Mr. Bramel was a faithful member of the M. E. Church,
South, for years, and his funeral took place in that
church at 10 o'clock, Rev. J. D. Redd officiating.
The remains were interred in the Maysville Cemetery.
