Baptist Church and was baptized February l7, l907. He was always true
and faithful to the church and Pastor, enjoyed the meetings for prayer,
was a lover of the song "Tis The Old Time Religion." He prayed
earnestly for the church, for the Pastor, in time of trial, that God
would be around and about as a wall of fire. He was loved by all who
knew him from boyhood. His friends were numbered by thousands in
Decatur County, none were ever heard to say aught against ALFRED D.
BRANNAMAN. All unite in saying he was a good man, whom to know was to
love. He was present at the last prayer meeting held in the Leon Church
before he died, took part in the meeting and expressed his joy in coming

His body was brought from Chariton to Grand River last Thursday and
taken home to his dear aged mother, and on Friday the funeral sermon was
preached in the Baptist Church at Grand River by Rev. Jas. A. Armstrong

hundred were in and about the church building; one of the largest
funerals ever held at Grand River. The remains were laid at rest at Oak
Hill Cemetery on Friday evening. Flowers were brought and strewn upon
his grave. As the sun was sinking behind the western hills, we turned
away from the grave of dear ALFRED and with his sorrowing friends,
especially his dear Christian mother for whom there is much sympathy, we
prayed that all may be permitted to meet again in Heaven where we shall
never say good-bye, and God shall wipe away all tears.
There shall be no more pain nor death for the former things shall have
passed away. Overlooking Grand River, on Oak Hill, Friday, June l9,
l908, we laid away the body of one without an enemy, loved by all who
knew him.
