life and exemplifying in her daily tasks the faithfulness so beautifully 
attributed to the mother of Lemuel in the Proverbs of Holy Writ. 

   The deceased is survived by her husband and three children, Ezra F. Gray 
and Miss Laura Gray of Franklin and Wesley Gray, now in the United States 
Navy; by her aged mother, Mrs. Sue S. Branch; three brothers, W.M., G.W. and 
R.C. Branch of Franklin and four sisters,, Mrs. Mattie Screws, Mrs. Bernice 
Edwards, Mrs. L.B. Edwards and Mrs. F.L. Whitley. 

   The funeral services were conducted at the grave in Poplar Spring cemetery 
Tuesday afternooon at 4:30 o'clock by her pastor, Rev. J.L. McCutcheon, the 
pall-bearers being N.L. Carr, J.A. Johnson, J.J. Bristow, Geo. H. Beale, J.R.
