FUNERAL OF HENRY CLAY BRASHEARS
Held This Afternoon at the Home of His Daughter, Mr. W. A. Barber -- Largely Attended by Many Friends
The funeral of the late Henry Clay Brashears, who passed peacefully away from this life Saturday afternoon, were conducted at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon from the home of his daughter, Mrs. William A. Barber.
Henry Clay Brashears was born in Warsaw, Ky., May 6, 1833, and departed this life December 1, 1923, in Madison, Ind. He was married to Miss Emily Twyman Craig on September 18, 1860, at Frankfort, Ky., and to this union were born six children: Charles, Clement, Henry, Emilie, George and Ella. Three of them, with the mother, have preceded their father into the Great Beyond, the remaining three, Mrs. Loren Dow, of Pittsburg, George Brashear, of St. Louis, and Mrs. W. A. Barber, being at his bedside when he bade farewell to the earthly things and entered into joy of immortality.
Capt. Brasher had been a resident of Madison for over sixty years. He was one of the early steamboat men and was known from end to end of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. He was the son of Belt Brashear and Katherine Robertson, both of Kentucky.
Belt Brashear was descended from the Belt and Brashear families of Prince George county, Maryland, and with the Brashear brothers settled in 1659, being among the first land owners. They originally came as citizens of France to Florida with the Hugenots.
His mother was a descendant of James Robertson, of Wautauga, who framed the constitution of that place, in connection with Sevier and for a time had only independent government within the limits of the United States. He married Abagail Cleveland, a granddaughter of Ben Cleveland, of North Carolina.
Captain Brashear was a fine gentleman and had a wide circle of friends, who held the highest esteem and regard for him in their hearts. The many beautiful floral offerings placed about his bier, were mute evidence of the warm affection in which he was held by all who knew him.
Rev. J.C. McCallum, pastor of the Christian church, and Dr. J. H. Barnard, the latter a life long friend, had charge of the last sad rites, both speaking in the highest terms of the remarkable life of the decedent and offering much hope ad consolation to the bereaved family.
