Citizens Of Brandon,
Dear, good friends: My husband was
born here. Through the removal of his
parents, he was in another county when
he came to manhood but when he came to
choose a place to raise his children he
brought them and me into your midst.
You received him and Us kindly, you gave
him every honor in your power and he
gave you his heart.
One of the speakers at the Legislative
memorial, said he did not take what he
had acquired in your midst~-to establish
himself in larger city but after his four
years residence in Jackson was finished
came back to Brandon and sleeps on the
hill he loved so well. | am glad he lies
in your midst, because know you loved
him.
And it was a tender comfort to me to
know that while l, with my children
was watching beside our dead you were
gathered together expressing your prayers
and sympathy for us. It was good of you
on the busy Christmas Eve. to lay aside
your business for while an go in the
WINERY weather in honor to his memory
as they laid him in his last resting place
VIE thank you for every expression OF
your. kindness and pray that the coming
years may bring you every blessing
Sincerely,
LAURA E. McLAURIN.
