Obituary.
Henry Franklin Brawner was born in St. Louis County, Kentucky, August 12, 1848; departed this life, June 11, 1906, at South Haven, Kansas.
In early childhood he went with his parents to Shelby county, Missouri, where he lived until he was twenty years of age, when he came west and south.
He was married to Emily Frances Anderson, on October 22, 1890. To this union were born three children - two daughters and a son. The youngest daughter preceded him to the other shore, March 27, 1901.
He was the last of the family, with the exception of one sister: his father, mother, two sisters and a brother having departed this life some time ago. His only sister was not permitted to be present at his funeral on account of poor health.
Mr. Brawner had been in poor health for a number of months, never being confined to his bed, however, for more than a day at a time. His doctors had informed him of his serious condition, and warned him to be prepared for his passing away at any time. He had just arranged to take treatment of a doctor at Blackwell, and had started there, accompanied by his daughter Bessie, on the morning of June 11. He became seriously ill while the train was standing at the depot at Braman, Oklahoma, and died just ast the train was leaving the depot. His body was brought back to South Haven, where the funeral services were held at the Christian church, at 3 p.m., June 12.
Mr. Brawner was one of our best citizens; a good father, and a noble husband. He was honorable in all his dealings with his fellowmen, and had high ideals of life. Through his integrity and energy he had succeeded in accumulating considerable property, which, by reason of the fact that he had been warned of his serious condition, he was careful to adjust so that there would be no complicated conditions in his business affairs after his departure.
The writer has been acquainted with the deceased for a number of years, and considered him one of our best citizens, and his death was a great loss to the community.
His wife, daughter and little son have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement, but we commend them to Him who is able to comfort and keep them in their hour of sadness and grief.
Mr. Brawner was a member of the Fraternal Aid association and also a Mason; many members of the last named order being present to pay a last tribute of respect to their departed brother and assist in the last sad rites in the funeral service.
