The subjects of this sad and singular affair were Mrs. Mary Brooks and her son, Mr. W. T. Brooks, both of Sheffield district. Mrs. Brooks died Wednesday, the 20th, and her son died the following day, Thursday. Mrs. Brooks was a member of the Primitive Baptist church and had been for many years. Her son was of the Baptist faith and was baptised by Rev. J. F. Wallis about three years ago. He was a deacon in his church and was looked upon as a true Christian gentleman. They were laid to rest side by side in the Salem burying ground. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.2 Kb
