OBIT PRINTED BENTON COUNTY DEMOCRAT 6-20-1890

John Braithwait aged about 78 year. John died at his residence northwest of this city on Wednesday Jun 18 1890 of heart troubles. "Uncle Johnny" as he was called by all who knew him, had been with us a long, long time and there was no one better liked or more highly respected than he. His remains were buried in the Woods grave yard east of the city. We will endeavor to get an appropriate obituary by our next issue.
