DEATH OF MRS. BRANDON
......Mrs. Harriett L. Brandon is dead.
Those words will carry sadness and
sorrow to many hearts. The silken cord
was gently loosened yesterday morning
and the spirit of one of the best and
truest women winged its flight from
earth. Her death occured shortly before
5 o'clock. Children and relatives
surrounded the death bed and watched
through tears the last hours of her who
had been so much to them. The only
daughter, Miss Rena, who was away at
school when the fatalillness struck down
her mother, arrived within an hour after
her death had done its work.
Mrs. Brandon was the daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jones. She was born
on the 10th day of August, 1833 and
graduated at Wesleyan Female College,
Macon, Georgia July 1851. She was
married to Dr. David J. Brandon on the
3rd of February, 1853. During her
college days she joined the Methodist
Church and lived, up to the hour of her
death a consistent member. Her place in
church and Sunday School will be hard to
fill. She was devoted to her church and its
ordinance and was always ready for every
good work. She exemplefied and illustrated
those Christian traits, graces and virtues
which characterize the pure in heart.
She was a loving wife, a devoted mother,
a true friend, a kind neighbor and a
Christian She had eleven children, seven
of whom survive her. The funeral will be
from the Methodist Church this morning.
The remains will be buried in the old family
burying grounds at Greenwood Plantation,
beside her husband and children who
preceded her to the spirit world.
The sympathies of all go out to the
bereaved children and relatives in their
sorrow and bereavement.
