Mr. Brewton was of Baptist faith, a Mason, and fifty-seven years and seven 
months of age at the time of his death.

Funeral services were held at his home in Ferriday, with Rev. Hamilton 
conducting, after which the body was conveyed to Goldonna for interment.

He is survived by the following:  his wife, Jimmy a son, Elizabeth, daughter 
of Ferriday; J. G. Brewton, son of Baton Rouge; Mrs. J. O. Hess, daughter of 
Ringgold; J. H. and E. L. Brewton of Ringgold, brothers; Mrs. S. S. Whitener 
of Goldonna, sister; Mrs. R. M. Terral, sister, of Mansfield, and W. W. 
Brewton, brother of this city.
