The Camilla Enterprise
Obituary of Brazier Tete Holton as written on page 1 of "The Camilla 
Enterprise" dated 12 Jan 1961.  Camilla, Georgia.   
Brazier Tete Holton, fifty year old Camilla farmer and businessman, died around 
three o'clock Friday afternoon, January 6th, at Mitchell County Hospital in 
Camilla.  He had suffered a heart attack Christmas Eve and was admitted to the 
hospital then.  Although his condition was known to be serious his death came 
unexpectedly since he appeared to be making satisfactory progress.  Popular 
with a wide circle of friends about over the county, news of the sudden passing 
of the genial Mr. Holton brought sorrow to friends and family alike.  Funeral 
services were held Sunday afternoon at three o'clock at the Camilla Methodist 
Church with the pastor, Rev. Orman P. Sloat, officiating.  Hartley Holton, 
Dolph Holton, Clayton Holton, Lynn Holton, Glynn Holton, Jimmy Holton, Howard 
Holton and Marion Holton served as pallbearers and forming an honorary escort 
were the men in his Sunday School class.  The church was filled to overflowing 
with friends and relatives and floral offerings were numerous and beautiful.  
Interment followed in Oakview Cemetery with Bramlett Funeral Home in charge of 
arrangements.  Mr. Holton celebrated his 50th birthday two days after he 
entered the hospital at Christmas.  He was born and reared in Mitchell County, 
the son of Mrs. Evelyn Jamie Brazier Holton and the late Howard Holton.  After 
completing his schooling he engaged in farming and held extensive farm 
interests.  He was also one of the partners in Holton Tractor Company, serving 
as its president.  For some years he was a faithful and devoted member of 
Camilla Methodist Church.  In addition to his mother, other survivors include 
his wife, Mrs. Ethel Phillips Holton of Camilla; three daughters, Mrs. Jimmy 
Harden and Mrs. Hal Carlisle, both of Camilla, and Mrs. Odes Harris of Pelham; 
two sons, William Holton of Camilla and Ed Norris of Macon; four brothers, 
Virgil Holton, Weyman Holton, James Holton and Harry Holton, all of Camilla; a 
sister, Mrs. Lewis Campbell of Camilla and several grandchildren.
