Armond I. Brannon Passes Away Sat. At Corsicana Hospital
----------

A cloud was cast over the Lignite City late Saturday
afternoon when it was learned that Armond Isaac Brannon,
who was injured in a mine accident here on Monday, August
29th, had passed away at a Corsicana Hospital following a
valiant fight for life. The report came as a distinct shock to
his loved ones and friends, for only a few hours before it was

learned that his condition had shown improvement.
Ike, as he was familiarly known to his great host of friends
here was fatally injured in the No. 3 mine of the Malakoff
Fuel Company here late in the afternoon on Monday, August
29th, when a portion of the wall of coal gave way and caught
his body beneath the fall. He was rushed, by his employers,
to the sanitarium in Corsicana where everything possible
was done in a vain effort to save his life. After examination
attending physicians pronounced his condition as most
critical and that the odds for recovery were very much
against the injured man. The end came about 5 o'clock
Saturday evening. His remains were prepared for burial by
J. A. Ballard, local funeral director, at the hospital and were
shipped to the home of his parents here on the afternoon
train Sunday.

Funeral services were conducted from the family home at 3
o'clock Monday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. A. Wallace
Clark, pastor of the Malakoff Baptist Church. Interment took
place in the Malakoff Cemetery.

The deceased is survived by his parents, M/M J. P. Brannon
of this city; three brothers Rob't. and Arthur of Rockdale and
LeRoy of Malakoff, and two sisters, Mrs. Murrell Welborn,
Athens and Miss Gertrude of Malakoff. The pallbearers
were: Carl and Bob Davis, Jack and George Mitcham and E.
A. Hall.
