Pike-Heard County GaArchives Obituaries.....Mobley, Jane (Hollingsworth) [Mrs. Ned] December 23, 1909 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Candace (Teal) Gravelle [email protected] August 29, 2006, 10:34 pm "The Newnan Herald and Advertiser" Newnan, Coweta Co., Georgia NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, April 8, 1910 OBITUARY OF MRS. JANE HOLLINGSWORTH MOBLEY On Thursday, Dec. 23, 1909, when the world was rejoicing at the approach of Christmas, Mrs. Jane Hollingsworth Mobley fell asleep and her spirit took its flight from this world of sin, sickness, sorrow, pain and death to the beautiful mansion above. She was born at Griffin, Ga., on Aug. 11, 1833 and moved with her father to Heard county in 1851, locating near Hollingsworth's ferry. In 1857 she was happily married to Mr. Ned Mobley. The union was one of hearts, so beautifully were their lives blended into one. In early life she united with the Presbyterian church. Hers was an exemplary life. She possessed all those lovely traits of character which so adorn the true Christian. She was full of joy and hope, her trust being in her Savior and Him alone. She was a kind and loving wife and mother, ever ready to bear any burden of duty that fell to her part; a friend among friends and a neighbor among neighbors. She leaves a husband, four daughters and three sons, besides a large number of relatives and friends. To the sorrowing relatives we would say, "weep not; she has gone to her reward." Her life's mission was done, her share of earth's sorrows had been endured and she was fitted for the lovelier things that are withholden from our eyes. Gladly should we yield her to that blest existence which is better, awaiting patiently the time when it will be our opportunity to rejoin her in a home where earth never tears asunder the bonds of affection, where they shall be no tears of sorrow.

Pike-Fulton-Spalding County GaArchives Biographies.....Brannen, Thomas April 26, 1869 - December 10, 1941 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Maribeth Brannen [email protected] August 29, 2006, 2:20 pm Author: Southeastern Drug Journal June, 1939 "A Druggest Can Retire," Says T. H. Brannen, Georgia Veteran That a druggist can retire from the drug business is demonstrated in the experience of a well-known and veteran Georgia druggist--Thomas H. Brannen, who has been "living the life of Riley" with his daughter at 318 University Drive, Brookhaven, Ga., since his retirement two years ago from the Dr. Fred Palmer Laboratories in Atlanta. But it cannot be said that "Tom" Brannen, who celebrated his seventieth birthday on April 26, discarded the habits of hard work, long hours, and responsibilities implanted in heart and mind over a long period of years in the drug business. A visit to his modern and highly efficient egg-producing plant and a look at his two hundred fifty or more beautiful White Leghorns is a sight to behold and represents a prgram of activity and venture into an entirely new field which many men of younger years would hesitate to undertake. And, too, there is "Jack" and "Red" to greet you with loud barks and tail wagging, with "Jack" ready and willing to yodel at his master's command. Regular attendents at Georgia conventions will remember "Jack" as Mr. Brannen's constant companion at the State meetings. An only child, Thomas H. Brannen was born at Zebulon, Ga., on April 26, 1869, son of James H. and Mary A. Brannen. His father was a merchant at Zebulon. Young Brannen attended grade school in his home town, clerked in his father's store, and later migrated to Griffin, Ga. , where he continued his retail experience as clerk in a shoe store. Heeding the "call of the city," Mr. Brannen decided to take up his residence in the Capital City, and in 1899 he moved to Atlanta, where he entered the employ of John B. Daniel, wholesale druggists, as a country salesman and shipping clerk. Later he joined Lamar & Rankin Wholesale Drug Company, and after a period of service with the organization entered the retail drug business as an assistant manager for Jacobs Pharmacy Company, a position held for a number of years until he purchased the Stovall-Smith Drug Company located at Whitehall and Mitchell Streets. This business he operated with an associate as Brannen & Anthony for a period of twelve years, at which time it was merged with the Jabobs Pharmacy Company. He then resumed his association with the Jacobs organization and eventually assumed the management of operations of Dr. Fred Palmer's Laboratories, an affilate of the organization, which position he maintained until his retirement two years ago. Forty-three years of extreme happiness followed his marriage to Miss Mildred Eiseman, of Atlanta, in 1892, who passed on in 1935. Three children, Alfred Lynne, of Athens, Ga., Thomas H. Jr., and Mrs. J. G. Moore, of Brookhaven, make up the family circle. Extremely active in affairs of the Georgia Pharmaceutical Association during his earlier years in the retail drug business. Mr. Brannen served as Vice President of the State body for several years, and in 1922-23 was honored by being elected President of the organization. He was interested in the activities of the national bodies and was a regular attendant at the N.A.R.D. conventions. His happiest moments are spent in recalling experiences with former associates in organization work, including Charles Jordan of Monticello, Thad Rice, H.C. Shuptrine, of Tampa; the late W. Elkin, Jr. and other verterans of Georgia pharmaceutical history. Not content with the responsibilities and many duties involved in the develpment of a modern egg-producing plant, Mr. Brannen has cultivated a garden where he grows almost every variety of vegetable desired for the table. But his first love and chief interest is in the raising, housing and scientific care of almost three hundred chickens, now producing around forty dozen eggs weekly to supply the fountain and luncheonette needs of several of Atlanta's drug stores. The layers are all of pedigreed stock, and hospitalization, segregation, and scientific treatment constitue their living in the "Brannen" Eggery." To visit Tom Brannen in his "retirement," to grasp the enthusiasum of his new activities, and to share with him for a short time the apparent happiness of his communion with friends of fur and feather is an inspriation and evidence that true happiness and contentment are not the sole occupants of business offices and retail establishments, but exist wherever man may seek to blaze his trail and apply his energy. His legion of friends throughout Georgia and the Southeast will be glad to learn of Mr. Brannen's present activities, and the Journal joins with them in wishing him continued happiness and success.

Mr. McCrary was a quiet, unassuming gentleman, highly esteemed by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and while his death was not unexpected, it cast a gloom all over town. He was an unusual man in many respects and his life had been a blessing to many people. He was a man of few words, yet his daily walk showed to the world his fine Christian character. His life was one worthy of emulation. As a business man he was very successful. The first years of his life after reaching manhood were spent on a farm in Meriwether county, where, by hard work and economy, he laid up enough to take care of himself in his declining years. Mr. McCrary was born in Meriwether county on Jan. 5, 1836; he was married to Miss Mary E. Boyd on Nov. 15, 1860. In May 1862 he enlisted in the 55th Georgia Regiment; was captured at Cumberland Gap, Tenn. on Sept 9, 1863 and carried to Federal prison at Camp Douglas, Chicago, where he remained until the war closed in 1865. After the war, Mr. McCrary returned to his farm in Meriwether county where he remained until Dec. 1887 when he purchased his present home and moved to Senoia, remaining here until his death. His beloved wife preceded him to the beyond a little more than two years ago. To know this couple was to love them and it makes our hearts sad to know that they are gone from this world forever. He is survived by three sons, Dr. W.R. McCrary of Senoia, Mr. J.B. McCrary of Atlanta and Mr. J.A. McCrary of Barnesville. Additional Comments: Son of Robert McCrary and Nancy Coggin who were married 2 Nov 1834 in Pike Co., Georgia.
