Obituary Date: 1936-08-28

Information: Eleanor Lynn Brotherton was born September 14, 1919, died August 22, 1936, age 16 years, 11 months and 8 days.  She leaves to mourn their loss her parents, Roscoe T. and Hazel Coe Brotherton; three sisters, Mrs. Regina Skeen, Valeria Brotherton and Mary Grace Brotherton; five brothers, Reece, Richard, John, Neil, and Robert Brotherton, and a host of relatives and friends.  She was converted and baptized during the month of August 1933 and joined the Pleasant Valley Methodist Episcopal church of which she was still a member at the time of her death.  Her daily life, her testimonials, her interest in her class and the church as a whole leaves no doubt in the minds of those who knew her that she was not only a member of the earthly church, but is an abiding member of the church that is built upon a solid rock and abideth forever and ever.  Eleanor was ill only a week and two days.  She suffered greatly but bore it with patience for one so young.  We shall miss her earthly form but the sunshine of her presence will always be with us and linger like a pleasant fragrance through the years to come.  The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.  Blessed be the name of the Lord.
