Another Old Citizen Passes Away One by one at a very rapid rate the very
old citizens of this county are passing away. Another name was added  to
the list last Thursday morning when the spirit of Mrs. Caroline  Brandt,
wife of W.G. Brandt south of town five miles, returned to him  who  gave
it. After a three week's illness with a liver trouble Mrs.  Brandt  died
at 1 o'clock a.m., June 17, aged 77 years.

Mrs. Caroline Pyburn Brandt was born in Miller  county,  MO.,  Jan.  30,
1832. In 1856 she was married to W.J. Brandt. They, with  Mrs.  Brandt's
parents, William and Sarah Pyburn, came to  Barry  county  in  1861  and
settled near where W.J.  Brandt  now  lives.  To  them  were  born  nine
children, eight of whom are living. They are Mrs. Sallie  Maxwell,  Miss
Issie Brandt, Mrs. Jesse Cox, all living near Cassville;  Mrs.  Missouri
James of Tulsa Okla., Mrs. James Phelps of Range Okla., and  Will,  Amon
and George Brandt of near town. Mrs.  Brandt  was  the  sister  of  Mrs.
Fannie Cox, Mrs. Monroe Logan and of Jackson Pyburn a  prominent  lawyer
who died a few years ago at Winfield, Kan.

Neighbors and acquaintances of Mrs. Brandt who knew her intimately speak
in highest rearms of her kindly disposition, her excellent character and
words of counsel and advice. She was a devoted  and  loving  mother  and
wife and won the esteem and good will of the whole  community  in  which
she lived.

The remains were laid to rest in the Corinth cemetery  Thursday  evening
after funeral exercises conducted by Rev. E.W. Love.
