Obituary:
By far the saddest funeral in Hereford occurred here Wednesday, when the remains of Mrs. W. T. Bratton, were laid to rest, the Rev. J. T. Burnet of Canyon officiating. She was taken with a severe rigor Saturday evening, followed by another six hours after. Under prompt medical aid she seemed to rally, but the improvement was only seeming and on Tuesday she yielded to that terrible disease.
Emily Daniell was born at Prescott, Arkansas, Dec. 30, 1876.
She came to Texas with her parents in her childhood, was married to W. T. Bratton at De Leon, Texas, Oct. 4, 1896. They came to the plains in May, 1898, stopping in Canyon until the following September, when they removed to Hereford, where they have since resided. She was converted at the age of 14 and united with the Baptist Church, and has lived a consistent Christian ever since.
Deceased leaves a husband and three children, the youngest a week old, a father and mother, Mr. & Mrs. J. C. Daniell of Brownwood, Texas, Nilford Daniell, Hope, Ark., Nel and Frank Daniell of De Leon, Texas, W. H. and George Daniell, Brownwood, Texas and Eugene Daniell who lives in the state of Oregon. Four sisters, Mrs. J.S. Allmand and Mrs. Luna Dia? of Brownwood, Texas, Mrs. Bud Middleton of Killeen, Texas, and Miss Alice Daniell who still resides with her parents. She leaves very many friends in Hereford for no one could meet her and form her acquaintance without being her friend.
The bereaved husband, who found his ideal wife in her and his attachment for her only increased with the years, as she proved his ideal wife and mother, has the sincere sympathy of the entire community, but only he who has had a similar experience can truly sympathize with him, in this hour of bereavement and loneliness. And the little ones thus left without a mother's care, before they have learned to appreciate a mother's , have the prayers of the Christian people that they may be kept from the evil by which they are surrounded and that they may all be reunited in that heaven that the wife and mother has gone, there to await their coming.
Interment was made in the Hereford Cemetery.
