Obituary of Maj. Benjamin. F. Brimberry 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 1 Jul 1927.  


Many friends here were grieved by the death of Maj. B. F. Brimberry 
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. B. Bussey, in Cuthbert Friday, 24 Jun 1927, night.  
Suffering a stroke of paralysis a year ago, Maj. Brimberry had steadily grown worse until 
the end.  Maj. Brimberry was a native of Walton County, moving to Albany in 1860 to 
teach school and from there enlisted in the Confederate Army in 1862, serving with 
distinction as Major and quartermaster of hospitals.  He came to Camilla at the close of 
the war and spent twenty years here before moving to Albany, where he spent the 
remainder of his life.  He rendered distinctive public service in the several prominent 
offices he filled, serving as Postmaster at Albany for about fourteen years.  For a number 
of years he had been prominently identified with fraternal orders and was an enthusiastic 
member of the Confederate Veterans organization.  Surviving Maj. Brimberry are his 
three daughters, Mrs. J. B. Bussey of Cuthbert; Mrs. S. R. Ellersbee of Albany; and Mrs. 
W. E. Rowsey of Albany.  He was a brother of the late T. W.  Brimberry and M. F. 
Brimberry of Camilla, and had many close friends here among the older residents of 
Camilla.
