Jlifs. <^fi and of a cSexuani 
In a small rural community in Evans County, Georgia called Mount Pleasant 
on July 27, 1899, a child was bom to this union of Thomas and Maggie Denmark. 
They called this gift of God...Annie Bell. 
She came from a very strong Christian family with quite strict parents whose 
father served for many years as Deacon of the Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist 
Church. 
History reveals that her father Thomas was one of the persons who gave land 
for the development of what was called Mount Pleasant School. 
Annie Bell was the fifth child of the marriage of which there were five girls and 
four boys. Living today is one sister, Roberta Brewton of Daisy. 
The CLAXTON ENTERPRISE in 1988 honored her with a feature story of 
her life as a youngster, working in the fields and her school days. She joined 
Mt. Pleasant at the age of nine (9) she attended Sunday School and was a 
member of the Mission Department. 
At Mt. Pleasant during the early days of what was called Big Meeting a 
time of Annual Revival Services Thursday was always her day to prepare meals 
for the Pastor and visiting Minister. She loved her church and gave her very 
best for its upbuilding and encouraged complete loyalty. 
She is preceeded in death by her husband of 46 years, Bart Brewton who 
passed this life in 1969. 
She spent the past years recounting life - changing events of working in the 
kitchens of people, raising their children, working in the various fields, watching 
traveling shows that would come to town and cherishing the home near Daisy 
that was built and dedicated to the glory of God. 
She voted in almost every election, served as a Counselor for the family in 
times of crisis, and spent a lot of time talking with her friends both Black and 
White, and making sure that when you stopped by, there was always something 
in the kitchen to eat. 
She was a dominate force in the life of her children and grandchildren who 
have gone on to live productive lives. 
Over the past years because of her poor health she spent a lot of time in hos- 
pitals, in doctors offices, with her grandson in Waycross and Albany and at 
home with other members of the family who came to visit on weekends or during 
the week when it was necessary for someone who cared to be there. 
She leaves a life memory to one daughter, Mrs. Bernice Covington of Savannah; 
one son, Mr. Cleveland Brewton of Jacksonville, FL; two grandsons, Mr. Calvin 
Lee Riley of Savannah, and Dr. L. Perry McNeal of Vidalia; two grand- 
daughters, Mrs. Wanda Middleton and Mrs. Tammy Fault, both of Savannah; 
one sister, Mrs. Roberta Brewton of Daisy; one daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ethel Lee 
Brewton of Jacksonville, FL; one brother-in-law, Mr. John Brewton of Daisy; 
nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.

Done In Loving Memory 
THE FAMILY 
There is really nothing we need know 
or even try to understand 
If we refuse to be discouraged 
and trust Gods Guiding Hand... 
So take heart and meet each minute 
with Faith in Gods Great Love, 
Aware that everyday of life 
is controlled by God Above... 
And never dread Tomorrow 
or what the Future brings, 
Just pray for strength and courage 
and trust God in all things... 
And never grow discouraged, 
be patient and just wait 
For God never comes too early 
and He Never Comes Too Late!
