BRATTIN DEAD

Passed to his reward, was the word that came over the wire Thursday,  in
regard to the death of John Franklin Brattin, who answered the beckon of
the Angel of death at his home in Exeter, Dec. 29th, 1910, of an  abcess
of the stomach, aged 54 years, 11 months and 20 days. He had been in bad
health for five years, and was first stricken with jaundice.  He  was  a
son of the late J.W., and Matilda Brattin, and a brother of  Jos.  L.D.,
Rev. J.T., and Reuben Brattin.

He was born on Shoal Creek in this county and had lived most all of  his
life in this county. He was the father of 12 children, 10  of  whom  are
living. His wife survives him. He was a member  of  the  Exeter  Baptist
Church, and the funeral services were held there yesterday,  Friday  Dec
20, at 11 a.m., by Rec. C. M. Smith, after which the remains  were  laid
to rest in Maplewood Cemetery.

He had been Constable of Exeter township, and was Deputy  Sheriff  under
Sheriff O' Dwyer.

The end was as peaceful as the close of a  beautiful  summer  day,  when
daylight fades into night, with increasing loveliness.
