Obituary:

R. H. Brothers, 55, died about noon Sunday at the Baylor County Hospital, where he had been a patient since Thursday of last week. It is believed that kidney poisoning may have been the occasion of his death. Since he became stricken he had not regained consciousness, nor had he made a movement of any kind.

Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Conducting was Minister D. L. Ashley of Munday and Minister R. L. Ashley of Seymour. Special music was given by a quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. B P. Franklin, Howard Studer and S. Cowner.

Interment was in the Riverview cemetery, with the following pallbearers, who are nephews of the deceased: Edward Bryant, W. A. Beaver Jr., Robert Nix, Orval Brothers, Charles Beaver and Wilburn King.

Those attending the services from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bryant and son, Hillis, and daughter, Mrs. B. H. High, and her daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Bryant, all of Seagraves; Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Gross from Andrews; Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Bryant and a daughter of J. B. Bryant from Houston; Marvin Brothers and four daughters from Wichita Falls; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Beaver, W. A. Beaver and son W. A. Jr., from Burkburnett.

Mr. Brothers was born August 23, 1893 in Bell County, his parents being Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Brothers. The family came to Baylor County in 1906, settling in the Cache Creek community, and that was Rhaud's home for the greater part of his life. He was a veteran of World War I, serving in the army from August of 1917 to Jun of 1919. He was overseas a good part of this time, and served with honor in a machine gun battalion in the battles of the Meuse-Argonne campaign.

Soon after getting back home the deceased was married to Miss Ada Beaver of Cache Creek, and for a number of years they made their home on the farm. During the past several years Mr. Brothers had not been in good heath, and spent part of his time in the Veteran's Hospital at Amarillo. For the past 18 months he had been confined to his bed.

Surviving are his wife and four children as follows: Miss Lucille Brothers, who is a nurse at the hospital here; Robert, who is at home; Mrs. Doris Holt, who lives at Fort Worth; and Mrs. Orvey Priddy of Seymour. Mrs. Holt and family came when her father became seriously ill.

Also surviving are the following brothers and sisters: Sam, Buford and Bernie Brothers, all of Seymour; Mrs. T. R. Nix of Seymour, Marvin Brothers of Wichita Falls and Mrs. J. B. Bryant of Seagraves.

Mr. Brothers was a member of the Church of Christ, and took an active part in the work of his church. He was a splendid citizen in every way and did his part in holding up the banner of righteousness and doing what good he could do in the world. He will be greatly missed from the place he occupied in this community.
