Mrs G Branan died at home near Guss
Mrs Gilbert Branan, 72, died at her home Tuesday, after a long illness, through which time she continued to keep active in home and community.
Memorial service was this Thursday at the Maple Grove Methodist Church at Guss with the Rev George White in charge, assisted by the Rev Clarence Moore. Interment was in the church cemetery. Sutphen Funeral Home at Villisca was in charge of the arrangements.
She was involved in many of the community activities of the area. A life-time resident of Guss in Taylor County, she was made an honorary 4-H member several years ago, interested in her home and church. She had been news writer for the Herald Journal for more than 30 years as well as writing for the papers at Villisca and Corning.
She was the former Edith Stevens [Stephens], married to Gilbert Branan on March 11, 1914. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary three years ago with over 400 persons signing the guest book. She had taught in the vicinity, including the school next to the Branan home, two miles northwest of the Maple Grove church.
Three children and her husband are survivors. A daughter Verla Mae Pedigo lives at Los Angeles, two sons are Carroll at Villisca and Valjean at Omaha. A son, Wilbur, died about a year ago and a daughter, Mrs Helen Harrison, a year prior to that at Los Angeles. The couple has 13 grandchildren and three great granddaughters.
