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.
