Mrs. Emma Braselton, 67, died Wednesday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. D. Wofford. Mrs. Braselton had been an invalid for the past several months.

She is survived by four sons, W. H. and John Braselton, Paris, Texas; Royce Braselton, Nacogdoches, and R. L. Braselton, Fort Worth; three daughters, Mrs. J. D. Wofford, Mrs. Ina Belle Dungan of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Herbert Bragg of Bonham; 15 grandchildren and one great-grandchild; one brother, H. S. Hawkins, Camp Springs, Texas; and two sisters, Mrs. Wilbert Shanks of Arlington, and Mrs. Oma Norville, Ponca City, Okla.

Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon at the First Baptist Church with Rev. W. T. Rouse of Denton, former pastor of the church, officiating. Burial was in the Arlington Cemetery with the Moore Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Pallbearers were her sons and sons-in-law.

Mrs. Braselton was born near St. Louis in 1870 and with her parents moved to Texas a few years later. She was a lifetime member of the Baptist Church. Before moving to Arlington about two years ago she made her home in Fort Worth.
=======================
I saw your posting on Find A Grave on Emma Braselton. At the end of obit there was a statement that she moved to Texas with her parents. She moved to Hall County, Georgia between 1872 and 1874. Emma was the sister of my grandmother Wilbert Ellen Hawkins. Her brother Herbert Samuel was born in Missouri in 1872 and Wilbert Ellen was born in Georgia in 1874. Wilbert Ellen's father, Wilbert Ashely Hawkins, died a month prior to her birth. Emma and Oscar Braselton did not move to Texas until after the 1900 census. By 1910 they were in Texas in Parker Co.
