The Cairo Messenger, Friday, June 19, 1908
A Sad and Untimely Death

   After a lingering, wasting illness, of several months, Mr. Lyman Brinson, 
the younger son of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Brinson, died at his father's residence 
in this town, last Friday, just before noon.  His physicians had done all for 
him that could be done, with no apparent effect but to palliate.  The disease 
which carried him off belongs to a practically incurable class.
   The death of this noble young man was particularly sad.  He had opened up a 
prosperous and promising mercantile business in Havana, Fla., and until 
stricken with the fatal malady that cut short his bright young life, the way to 
speedy affluence seemed open before him.
   Every member of his family was devoted to him, and the number of his friends 
was legion.
   Because of the difficulty that would have attended the carrying of the 
casket up and down the high stairway of the city hall, where the Baptist 
meetings are temporarily being held, the funeral exercises were conducted at 
the Methodist church.  The congregation was large, augmented by the local lodge 
Knights of Pythias, and the services were exceedingly solemn and impressive.  
Dr. R. H. Harris officiated, assisted by Rev. N. T. Pafford, and the songs were 
rendered by a male quartet, composed of Messrs. R. C. Bell, G. A. Wight, A. C. 
Forester and W. A. Sutton, with Miss Lena Mauldin at the organ.
   The Knights of Pythias performed their ritualistic service, in a very 
impressive manner, at the grave; after which Dr. Harris closed with the burial 
formula and benediction.
