RUSH SPRINGS HEARLD
NOVEMBER 21, 1912

OLD SETTLER DIED THURSDAY

Mr. W. H. Brooks, one of the old settlers of Rush Springs, died at his home 
two miles east of this city, last Thursday morning at five o'clock, at the 
age of sixty seven years.

Mr. Brooks has been ailing for sometime, though his illness did not assume a 
serious nature until a short time before his death, which resulted from a 
complication of Bright's disease.

The funeral services were held at the Rush Springs cemetery, under the 
auspices of the Masonic fraternity of which he had long been a member. He 
leaves six children to mourn his loss, his wife having died several years ago.

The Hearld joins with many sympathizing friends in tendering to the bereaved 
ones its sincere condolence.
