MRS. L. BRASHER DIES AT BAY CITY
DEATH OF ONE OF OUR MOST ESTIMABLE LADIES TUESDAY MORNING AT BAY CITY
Many hearts in and around Weimar were grieved when news of Ms. Laura Brasher's death was flashed over the wires Tuesday morning of last week. Her death occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. G. A. Moore, at Bay City, where she had been visiting for several weeks. Funeral arrangements were made and the body transported to Weimar [Odd Fellows Cemetery] for burial, the funeral taking place Wednesday afternoon from the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Duve, with interment in the Odd Fellows Cemetery. A large crowd of mourning relatives and friends was present to witness the last sad ceremonies. Rev. J. C. Wilson, Methodist, pastor, conducted the funeral services both at the home and at the grave.
The pall bearers were six grandsons of decedent, namely; Henry, Jack, and Laurie Brasher, Frederick Duve, Charles Monroe Moore and Glenon Moore, followed by two other grandsons, Rex Duve and Francis Brasher.
Mrs. Brasher, nee Moore, was born in Marshal county, Miss., Jan 9, 1841, and was slightly over 84 years of age at the time of her death. She came to Texas in early girlhood. Dec. 23, 1867, she was united in marriage to Charles M. Brasher, at La Grange. To this union four children were born, three of whom survive, namely: H. Brasher, Sr., of Weimar, Mrs. G. A. Moore of Bay City and Mrs. C. E. Duve, this city. Another daughter, Miss Lizzie Brasher, died a number of years ago. Ten grandchildren and one great-grandchild are also among the survivors. Mrs. Brasher and husband moved to Weimar in 1875, five years after this place was established. Her husband died in 1877. Mrs. Brasher was a charter member of the Weimar Methodist Church, and for years her hospitable home was the Methodist preacher's home before any parsonage was built. Up to the time when her declining years began to tell on her strength, she was one of the most active workers in church, civic and social affairs in our city.
Mrs. Brasher was truly a good woman, the soul of hospitality and those who knew her in earlier life can recall with pleasure the many pleasant social functions at her hospitable home. She loved young people, and many of the most pleasant social gatherings every held in Weimar were given in her home and under her direction. She loved church work, also, and for years was an active worker for same, as well as in the Cemetery Association and the various church organizations of her church. As a wife and mother she was devoted and ___ to the end, as a neighbor and friend, she was ready to extend every possible courtesy, and in her death our community and this section in general has lost one of its most beloved and highly regarded citizens.
The Mercury tenders its heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family.
