Miss Lizzie Luckey Branner Dead.
The many friends and relatives of
Mr. and Mrs. George Branner will
be grieved to hear of the death of
their oldest daughter, Miss Lizzie
Luckey Branner, which occurred at
their home at Burcett, Texas. Sept.
4.
Her death was due to stomach
trouble. She has always been in
delicate health. She was a good,
sweet girl, was loved and admired
by all who knew her. Her death
has caused a gloom over the entire
community as she was a general fa
vorite.
She was a devoted child, always
ready to lend a helping hand to
those in need. She was indeed a
Jewell to her aged parents. When
they were in trouble she always had
a word of encouragement. Sadly
they miss her lovely face and her
sweet voice. I hope some sweet day
they may meet her In Heaven. May
God bless them. They have the sym
pathy of scores of relatives and
friends. X X X
The fellow who can’t stand prosper
ity should make way for those who
never had a chance to try.
