The Cairo Messenger, Friday, January 27, 1911
Obituary -- Mr. Thomas Bruce
Written by a Son of the deceased
The mighty wave of death keeps reaching into the family circle.  It has borne 
away on its bosom, another loved one.  Our dear father, Mr. Thomas Bruce, died 
at his home in Grady county, on the night of January the 18th, at 1:40 a.m.  He 
had been in declining health, for more than a year.  He was born in North 
Georgia, before the Confederate war, and removed with his father, Mr. Jackson 
Bruce, to South Georgia, soon after its close.  In early manhood, he was 
married to Miss M. J. Reynolds, of Thomas county.  He was sixty years and 
twenty-five days of age, at the time of his death, and he has left a devoted 
wife and nine children, to mourn their loss.  Besides his immediate family, two 
sisters and one brother survive him:  They are Mrs. Jennie McCray, of 
Thomasville, Mrs. Wooten, of near Ochlocknee, and Mr. John Bruce of White Oak, 
Camden county, Ga.  He was laid away to rest at Long Branch church, near Cairo, 
in the afternoon following his death, in the midst of a large concourse of 
sorrowing relatives and friends, the burial service being conducted by Rev. Dr. 
Robert H. Harris.  Who will be the next to go?

The tottering feet no longer roam;
A voice we loved is still
A place is now vacant in our home,
That time can never fill.
C. L. Bruce
