The death of Herman B.
Brewton, Sr., in Memorial
Hospital in Savannah brought
sorrow to his many relatives
and friends in this community.
Although he had been des
perately ill for some time, and
most of us realized that the
time was short for him, his
death was still a shock to all
of us. He was real sick sev
eral weeks ago but after a
time in the hospital was able
to return home and was out
about a little seeing and talk
ing to his many friends. About
ten days ago it was necessary
for him to return to the hos
pital, and about midnight last
Friday night the end came.
He was 66 years old, and is
survived by his wife Mrs. H.
B. (Aleitha) Brewton, Sr., of

ton, Jr. of Montgomery, Ala.,
a grandson, H. Ben Brewton, .
111, and a granddaughter,
Nancy Gay Brewton of Mont
gomery, Ala., Chairman of the
Board of Deacons of the j
Lanier Baptist Church, Sun
day School Superintendent,
and had served as worshipful I
master of the Pembroke
Masonic Order on two differ
ent occasions, he was a retir
ed employee of Union-Camp 1
Paper Company and also a j
retired farmer. At one time
he was a Deputy Sheriff of
Bryan County. • i
Bryan County had no finer i
or better citizen than H. B.
Brewton, Sr., it was the Edi
tors privilege to count him as
one of our closest friends, and
in all our years of life we
have never known a better I
citizen, a finer friend and a I
more devoted man to his fam
ily. There are two few men
like he was.
