He was a brother of Rev. Walter BRANHAM, of Oxford, Ga., and a special friend of the late Colonel Newton ANDERSON. Our present Sheriff was named for the deceased. Dr. BRANHAM was born in Eatonton, Ga., in 1821, graduated at Emory College in 1842 and at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1845, and married to Miss Francis E., daughter of Judge A. B. LONGSTREET, in 1845. For more than three score and ten years he trod the paths of duties fearlessly, proudly and conscientiously as God had given him to see the right. “He knew no passion but the devotion to duty; he feared no displeasure, but the reprimands of conscience, sought no approval but the benediction of right.” File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/ga/newton/obits/b/branham1340nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/gafiles/ File size: 1.4 Kb
