DIR. BRANCH DIES
WHILE ON DUTY
Presiding Elder Of Va1dosta
District, NJ. E. Church,
Died at Mou1trie.

Moultrie, Ca, January a.
Rev. DR.. J. 0. Branch, presiding
elder of the Valdosta district of
the south Georgia conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
south, president of the board of
trustees of the Wesleyan female
college of Macon, president of
the board of trustees of the Wes-
leyan Christian Advocate, the
organ of the north and south
Georgia conferences, published
in Atlanta, and one of the best
known Methodist ministers in
Georgia, died here today, where
he had come in the discharge of
his duty.
DR.. Branch has long suffered
from a heart trouble, and his
condition has been precarious,
so that his death, while sudden,
was not wholly unexpected, as
his family and friends have real
lied that the end might come at
any time. Though presiding
elder of the Valdosta district,
DR.. Branch had his home at
Dixie, few miles from Thomas
vile, which is in the Thomas
vile district.
No man was more prominent
than DR.. Branch in the south
Georgia conference, with which
he has been connected for the
past thirty years. He has served
Mulberry street church in Ma
con, the two leading churches in
Savannah, and has at different
times been presiding elder of a
number of districts. He has
headed the Wesleyan board for a
number of years. With his
brother, the late Rev. Frank A.
Branch, of the Georgia Tech, he
came to the south Georgia con-
ference from Florida.
He is survived by Us wife, a
daughter of Mrs. Caroline Lee
Hentz, the famous southern noy-
elist, two daughters. and three
sons, one of whom, Rev. Charles
A. Branch, is pastor of the Meth
odist church at Decatur.
