J.C. Bratton, who died at the Confederate Home of Sweet Home Friday night, was buried yesterday morning at 11 o'clock at the Confederate cemetery. He was survived by grandchildren, his nearest relatives. Mr. Bratton was 79 years of age and came to the home about four months ago from Warren, suffering with paralysis.
During the war between the states he was a major in the Ninth Arkansas Infantry. At the close of the war he engaged in business at Warren and at one time was
prominent in politics in Bradley county. He was county judge from 1894 to 1898.
Additional note: (J.C. Bratton married Harriet Ann Hairston, daughter of David and Isabella Hairston from Warren. Harriet Ann was the sister to my husband's great-grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Hairston Woodard. At the time of J.C. Bratton's death, he did have children living.....that part of the obit is wrong. Perhaps someone at the Veterans Home submitted it to the Gazette, and didn't have all the family information)
1850 Bradley Co. census show him living with his brother and going by Calhoun
In an old letter printed in the Bradley Co., Ark. newspaper, it states that John Calhoun and James Colbert Bratton came from Lebanon, TN along with a Seay family.
From the Arkansas Gazette:
Aug. 8, 1896 Warren Court Cases - J. C. Bratton, Sr., in the matter of petition of J. C. Bratton, Jr., for sale of lands belonging to his wards.
On the 1900 census his occupation is listed as Builder (Slave Boats). I do not know what this means.
