Obituary
It is said there are three words in the English Vocabulary that
are more solemn than all the others. They are Life, Death, and
Eternity. Life is more serious than Death. To live is more serious than
to die. The object of Christs Death was Life. When we take the
wires of a bird cage apart, we do not hurt the bird, we help it, we
let it out of prison, so it is when death comes to one who has suffered.
The character of this skitch was born in Tattnall County, March 8,
1893 to the late Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Brewton. At an early age he
joined the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church of Claxton, Georgia. He later
connected himself with the Hagan Chapel Baptist Church under the
leadership of Rev. D. H. Hobbs.
He was united in marriage to the late Miss Mamie Kennedy. To
this union four children were born, one preceded him in death.
On April 18, 1925 he was joined in Holy Matrimony to Mrs. Rosa
Lee Kennedy.
Dea. Brewton lived a fruitful life, serving as Chairman of the
Deacon Board for a number of years. He was a Senior Sunday School
Teacher, and a member of St. Joseph Lodge No. 76, Claxton, Georgia.
He departed this life, June 1, 1969.
Survivors are a loving wife, Mrs. Rosa Lee Brewton; one son,
Mr. Bennie Brewton, Savannah, Georgia; two daughters, Mrs. Beatrice
Small, Claxton, Georgia, Mrs. Blanche Releford, Philidelphia, Penn-
