Bount & Mrs. Kate Brotherton, Henry & Anum V. Rice of Keith, Mrs. Tennie Young of Walker County & Mrs. Etta Jervis of Bellville, 51 grandchildren, and 26 grandchildren. Of a family of 15 children, Mrs. Brinkley is survived by one sister, Mrs. Sue Bookman of Shiro, two brothers, Andrew H. Blount of Roans Prairie & Jim Blount of West Texas.
