OLD RESIDENT DEAD
Thomas E. Bramblett, living southwest of Jamestown on the P.M. Lewis farm died Wednesday evening. His death was due to a complication of causes. He had been suffer[ing] of Diabetes for the past few months and this largely contributed to his death.
Mr. Bramblett was a veteran of the Civil War, and was known to all people in this part of the country as a big-hearted, kindly man and a good neighbor.
He is survived by the widow and for sons, William O., of this place; Jesse, of Roachdale; Richard, of Ochelata, Oklahoma; and Clarence, who resides at home.
At the time of going to press arrangements for funeral services could not be learned.
