Mr. Robert McBrayer, only son of Mrs. Amanda McBrayer of Shelby and the late R.B. McBrayer, died suddenly at his home in St. Louis, Missouri, Sunday, according to a telegram received here Monday by his sister, Mrs. G.C. King. His body was taken to Shelby for interment in obedience to a request which he made before he died. His mother was visiting her daughter, Mrs. M.D. Honeycutt at Monroe when news of her son’s death reached her and she immediately went to Shelby for the funeral.
Mr. McBrayer was 46 years of age and leaves a widow wo before marriage was Miss Louise Malah. Two daughters and one son also survive. Mr. McBrayer has been away from Shelby a number of years and has been conducting on an interurban line at St. Louis.
It is quite singular that both sons of Mrs. Amanda McBrayer should die in St. Louis. Her youngest son, Logan McBrayer, traveling salesman for the Hamilton-Brown Shoe company, died of pneumonia in St. Louis six years ago following an attack of influenza.
Mr. McBrayer is survived by his mother and five sisters: Mrs. W.N. Dorsey of Shelby, Mrs. M.D. Honeycutt of Monroe, Mrs. H.D. Dozier of Charlotte, Mrs. Grover King of Forest City, and Miss William Lowery of Patterson Springs.
