Mrs. Branch came to Buena Vista the first of the year with her husband, Rev. C.H. Branch, who is pastor of the Methodist church. Soon afterward she suffered from an attack of the measles, and it was a relapse of this disease that caused her death. She bore her sufferings long and patiently, until death came Tuesday morning and bore her spirit to a brighter and better world. When first she came to Buena Vista she was almost unknown, but her gentle, womanly modesty made for her a friend of all whom she met, for to know her was to love her. Her mother had been telegraphed for and attended her bedside in her last illness, and surrounded by a loving mother, a devoted husband and four friends, her spirit broke loose from its moorings of clay and returned to the God who gave it. Her remains were taken to Winterville Wednesday morning for interment, a large concourse of friends accompanying them to the depot. To the grief stricken husband we would say, cheer up, she waits for you in heaven. The Marion County Patriot, No. 23 June 7, 1889 Page Three Personals Rev. J.O. Branch came over from Americus Tuesday and left with the remains of Mrs. C.H. Branch for Marietta, Wednesday morning.
