~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Gleaner - Sept 21, 1916 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mrs. C. P. Albright Dies Suddenly. Early last Friday night, about half past 8 o'clock, the news that Mrs. Fannie Albright, wife of Mr. C. P. Albright, was dead, came as a shock. She was taken suddenly very ill Wednesday night. Through Thursday she continued quite sick, but on Friday had grown apparently a great deal better, and Friday evening she died suddenly of heart failure. The passing of Mrs. Albright removes a most estimable christian woman who enjoyed the love and esteem of her acquaintances in a high degree. She loved her home and to make it a shrine of joy and rest for her loved ones was one of her chiefest pleasures. She was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian church and ever faithful in attendance. The funeral was conducted from the Presbyterian church at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon by her Pastor, Dr. T. M. McConnell, assisted by Dr. Daniel Albright Long. The interment was in Linwood Cemetery and a wealth of sweet flowers covered the grave. The funeral services were attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends. The sorely bereaved husband and daughter, Mrs. Frank Moore, have the deepest sympathy of their many friends. Mrs. Albright was a daughter of the late John Donnell of Greensboro, where she was reared. At the time of her death she was 60 years of age. She is survived by two sisters and six brothers, all of whom, except Mr. Tom Donnell of Texas and Mr. George Donnell in a Richmond Hospital, were present at the funeral, namely, Mrs. Adge Alexander and husband and sons Donnell and Robert of Greensboro, Mrs. Robt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Gleaner - Aug 31, 1916 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mrs. Lucinda Robertson Crosses the River -- At Death was reading the bible through 22nd Time. Mrs. Lucinda Robertson, widow of the late Michael Robertson, died on Aug. 25th, 1916, in her 84th year, at the home of Mr. Missouri Lineberry in Patterson township, where she has made her home for some time. Mrs. Robertson before marriage was Miss Euliss. She has one living sister in Burlington, Mrs. Laura Ann Coble, 87 years of age, and one brother, Mr. Alexander Euliss, 89 years of age, who lives in Liberty, and two brothers who live in Indiana. Mrs. Robertson had two children Nellie and Thomas, and one step-son, Mr. C. F. Robertson, the father of Supt. J. B. Robertson. Nellie married Mr. R. G. Hornaday of Burlington and lived ten years of married life and left three children, Carrie, Thomas and Victor. Mr. Thos. Robertson, Mrs. Robertson's only son, has lived in Washington, D. C. for more than twenty years, but was with his mother when the end came. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. William Pike, a nephew of Mrs. Robertson, at the Mt. Zion Baptist church and she was laid to rest amid a large concourse of relatives and friends. In the passing of Mrs. Robertson a life of character that was very strong and in many ways very striking came to an earthly close. She was one of the best informed women on all subjects to be found in her community. She read almost unceasingly, both the topics of the day and good literature. She was clear and concise in her thinking. She had decided views on most important subjects that were supported by a fund of information. Mrs. Robertson loved her church, good music and her Bible. She often was found selecting special texts, writing out an exposition and singing appropriate songs. When she died she was reading consecutively her Bible through for the twenty-second time. [end]

I have run into a wall on my Braxton line and was wondering if anyone on the list could help me. The "endpoint" of my line is William Braxton (married to Margery ?), who died in 1771, and was buried in the Spring Friends Meeting Cemetery. I am trying desperately to find out who his parents were, and if possible, trace the line back to the "old country." If anyone has any information that can help me in my quest, please feel free to e-mail me personally or to send a response to the general list. Thanks!
