The Sabine Index - J. B. Brumley 
  
  14 Jul 1939 - Last rites for J. B. Brumley (or Uncle Jim, as he 
was known), age 81 years, two months and 16 days, were held last 
Thursday evening at 3:30 p.m. at Mt. Zion Baptist church, with 
Rev. S. O. Olivier officiating, Rev. Elbert Brown assisting. 
Music was led by E. O. Lites. Funeral directed by Dennis-Green 
funeral home. Pallbearers were R. B. Jackson, Tom Lites, Louis 
Vines, R. L. Clark, H. S. Sebren and Harvey Self. 
  
  Surviving are the widow, Mrs. J. B. Brumley; five sons, W. H., 
J. B. Jr., O. E., J. D., and W. B. Brumley; all of Many; one 
daughter, Mrs. S. F. Webb of Many and a large number of 
grandchildren, besides numerous friends to mourn his passing. 
  
  Truly the community has lost a great friend. Mr. Brumley was a 
pioneer singing teacher, having taught many of the leading 
singers of the present day. He and the late Rev. T. J. Lites were 
of the same community and were closely associated together in 
church and community work, and they were two of the charter 
members of the Mt. Zion Baptist church. Mr. Brumley was always 
found fighting for that which is right, and to have known him was 
to love him.
