1920 Obituary:
(Special Corrspondence)
Utah Pioneer of 1850 is Dead at Fillmore
FILLMORE--Feb 16, Mrs Lamira Mace Brunson died here Feb 12, at the home of her daughter, Mrs Clarrilla Wade.

Mrs Brunson was the daughter of Hyrum and Elizabeth Mace, born in Michigan, Jan 14, 1840. She went with her parents to Nauvoo, where her father worked on the temple.

She was baptized when nine years of age and arrived in Utah with her parents in 1850 [1852].

In 1852 the family moved to Fillmore, where the father assisted in building the state house. She became the wife of Bishop Lewis Brunson in 1857, and was the mother of seven children of whom two have preceded her in death.

She is survived by four sons and one daughter, Semour Lewis of Meadow, Hyrum of Salt Lake City, Arthur M., Mrs Clarilla Wade, and Harvey Brunson of Fillmore.

The deceased was of a quiet, unassuming disposition, faithful in the observance of her religious dutios. She mothered her husband's first wife's children with as much care and anxiety as her own.

Funeral services in the ward chapel at 2 o'clock Sunday.
