IN MEMORY—The community of Nankipoo was made very sad on February
\n6th,1925,by the death of one of our oldest and most beloved
\ncitizens; MRS. NANNIE LEE ABERNATHY BRANTLY, wife of our dear old
\nBrother, S. N. Brantley. Mrs.Brantley was born in Middle Tennessee, June
\n9th,1852.At the age of five years, she moved with her parents to Haywood
\nCounty and later to Madison County, where she lived until 1869,when she
\ncame to Lauderdale County, and had resided for more than 60 years in the
\nimmediate community in which she lived and where she was known and loved
\nby all. She was the mother of 14 children and in addition reared 6
\nchildren. On August 17th,1865,she was married to Bro. Brantley, and the
\nunion of two wedded hearts in love was most beautiful and strong.
\nBut the tie, however strong, must sooner or later be broken by the
\nstroke of death. The primary cause of her death is God. The secondary
\ncause may be any one of many many ills. This world is called a vale of
\ntears, and rightly so; and if there is anyone place where tears flow
\nfaster than any other, it is where a loving wife and precious mother lies
\ncold in death. Where there is most love, there is keenest sorrow.
\nBut to the large family of sons and daughters, grandchildren and great
\ngrandchildren, weep and sorrow not as those who have no hope. Grandmother
\nBrantley loved and believed in God. She loved the Methodist Church of
\nwhich she was a lifelong member. But most of all she loved and believed
\nin you—her precious children. Your hearts are sad—you miss her—but
\ncheer up, she is now in Heaven awaiting your coming.
