Obituary FRANCES (FANNY) BRANTLEY 1775-1854
wife of WILLIAM BREED Died at the residence of her son-in-law (J. Faulkner) in Layfayette, Alabama, on Saturday, the 30th day of September last, Mrs. FRANCES BREED, in the 76th year of her age. The deceased was a daughter of Philip Brantly of Warren County, Georgia, where she was raised. She became a member of the Baptist Church many years ago, and was baptized by Rev. Winder Hilman at Williams Creek Church. She afterwards moved with her husband (William Breed) to Fayette County, Georgia, and thence to Randolph County, Alabama., where she has lived for many years, her husband having died in 1837. The deceased was a woman of extraordinary piety and devotion to the cause of Christ. She raised a large family of children, who are now, most of them, acceptable members of the church, and doubtless owe much to her early teachings, her Godly walk and pious example, which ever adorned her life. She enjoyed a good degree of health until the winter of 1852, when she was attack with paralysis, which rendered her nearly helpless most of the time afterwards, and for the last several months entirely so.
At the time of her death she had so far lost her mind as not to be conscious of her approaching end, though she had previously spoken of it as an hour that was to deliver her from all suffering and distress; and those who knew her in life have no doubt of her having entered on a blissful immortality. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, from henceforth, yea saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them."
