Mrs. J.I. Branch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Spivey of Homesville neighborhood, died at the Baker sanatorium Monday evening about 6 o’clock, where she was carried about 5 o’clock, only being sick about two hours.
Mr. and Mrs. Branch moved from near Proctorville to the Turbeville house on Morrow avenue several months ago, Mr. Branch being connected with Mr. Dawson Purvis in the saw-mill business. Mrs. Branch was a woman of quiet and gentle disposition, a Christian, a devoted wife and mother. She was a member of Big Branch church at Orrum and her funeral was conducted by her pastor, Rev. I.P. Hedgpeth of Lumberton, and her body was laid to rest in the Bear Swamp church cemetery near her old home at Homesville Tuesday afternoon.
She leaves to mourn her death a husband, five children—three girls and two boys—her parents and a host of admiring friends.
