"We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Martha Bronston, an aged and respected lady, which occurred at the residence of her son, Mr. Jesse P. McGee, in this County, on last Friday, after a short illness. Mrs. Bronston was born in 1805, and first married the late Michael McGee, who resided near Belton, in this County, and died many years before the late war. His widow afterwards married Mr. Bronston, and in 1858 removed to Tennessee, where Mr. Bronston died several years ago, and three weeks before her death Mrs. Bronston returned to this County to spend her remaining days with her son. She was an excellent lady, and was greatly beloved by many of the older people of the County, who were well acquainted with her exemplary life. Her remains were interred at First Creek on last Saturday, after solemn and appropriate funeral services conducted by Rev. A. Rice in the presence of a large number of sorrowing
relatives and friends."
Note: Rev Bronston was not from TN but from KY; however Alex and Lula's oldest son was born in TN.
