Rufus Brammer Dead
Rufus Brammer, a prosperous farmer residing near Jumping Branch, died suddenly last Friday while on his way home to dinner from a field where he had been plowing. He was soon to fall from from his horse, but expired before aid could reach him. Mr. Brammer was about 65 years of age, and was the father of a large family, W. A. Brammer, of this place being a son, and Miss Lena Brammer, until very recently a resident of Beckley, being his daughter.
