ANOTHER LAND MARK GONE
George R. BRASFIELD died at his residence near this place on the morning of the 7th inst. He was born in Granville county, North Carolina, the 19th of February 1823. His father, Caleb BRASFIELD, settled in Weakley County more than fifty years ago, the deceased then being but a child. During the last thirty -five years, Geo. Brasfield has resided in Dresden and vicinity; this immediate neighborhood having been the sole theatre of his useful, active and energetic life, since before he had reached the years of manhood.

The large assembly of friends, aquaintences, and mourning kindred who attended his funeral attested alike, the general high esteem in which he was he, and the wide-spread sympathy felt for his disconsolate family and children; yet, none but those who knew him intimately and well, are familiar with the rare and excellent qualities which gave marked individuality to the man, and assured his extraordinary success during a long and active business career. Commencing life without fortune, family influence, or eduational advantages, he secured and maintained the highest social success in the accumulation of fortune, which is the result only of great energy, patience,sound judgement and honorable conduct. His whole career was an exemplification of the trite maxim that, “whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well”. He believed that every man was created fit for some useful purpose, and that success depended on industry, economy, and will. He was ever among the foremost in whatever required a display of public spirit; he never faltered in faithfulness or constancy to his friends , or withheld from those he loved the slightest gratification which the hand of a husband, a father, or a friend could bestow. Indeed, his social and domestic virtues were marked features of his life, hence until the failure of his health many years ago, he was an unrivaled social and political power. There is not an old Whig in this county, who can ever forget the unselfish energy he loyally displayed in upholding its principles and struggling for its triumphs. His career is a monument of encouragement for all young men of pluck and energy and a standing rebuke to the lazy drones who lament their humble birth and poor opportunities. If Goerge R. Brasfield had done nothing else but to verify the adage, “Where there is a will there is a way” he would deserve to live, as he will live, to the affectionate memory of all his surviving friends

Tennessee the Volunteer State 1769 1923: Volume 4 SWAN BURRUS, M. D. In the acquirement of his early education Swan Burrus attended the public schools of Obion county and then entered the Branham & Hughes Preparatory School at Spring Hill. In due time he entered Vanderbilt University, where after the completion of a one year literary course, he took up the study of medicine. He received his M. D. degree from that institution in 1917 and then went to the government hospital school at the Panama Canal Zone, remaining there for one year. At the termination of that time he returned home and was immediately called to Camp Lee, Virginia, as a member of the Medical Reserve Corps. He remained there several months and after receiving his honorable discharge in December, 1918, returned to his home in Obion county. For some four years he practiced in his native county and in January, 1922, came to Paris. He is enjoying well merited success in this city and is held in high confidence and esteem by his professional brethren and fellowmen. Although Dr. Swan Burrus has resided in Paris but a short time he is enjoying an extensive and lucrative practice and is readily conceded to be one of this city's foremost citizens. A native of Tennessee, his birth occurred in Obion county, on the 30th of March, 1892, a son of Dr. G. B. and Mozel (Davis) Burrus, likewise natives of this state. His father is now living in Obion county, where he is enjoying a large practice and he has for many years occupied a leading place among the medical men of that county. Mrs. Burrus died in 1908. Incidental to births in the Burrus family it is peculiar to note that the great-grandfather, Swan, was born in 1792, while Dr. Swan Burrus was born one hundred years later, 1892, and the eldest son of Dr. Burrus was born on the same day of the month as his father the 30th of March. At Petersburg, Virginia, on the 29th of July, 1918, was celebrated the marriage of Dr. Burrus to Miss Helen Kuller, a daughter of Benjamin Franklin and Sue L. (Kell) Kuller, both natives of Pennsylvania. Her father is a construction engineer with large government contracts in the Canal Zone at Panama. Her brother, Stanley Kuller, is a veteran of the World war, having seen two years of active service overseas. To the union of Dr. and Mrs. Burrus two children have been born: Swan, Jr., whose birth occurred on the 30th of March, 1920; and Byron Franklin, born on the 5th of May, 1922. Mrs. Burrus is a woman of culture and refinement and is prominent in the club and social circles of Paris.
