    Notes 

    • Mrs. Sidney Ann (FOGLESONG) BROTHERTON, a daughter of William and Mary FOGLESONG, was born in Jackson County on November 30, 1858, and died at her home near Given on October 18, 1942, aged 83 years, 10 months and 18 days. She was united in marriage to John William BROTHERTON on May 31, 1877, who still survives. Eight children were born to this union, four of whom preceded her in death, namely; Marley, Homer, Boyd, and one who died in infancy.

      Surviving are four children: Mrs. Lura KESSEL and Mrs. Corda BARNETT, of Given, WV.; Mrs. Orpha BUCKALEW, of Dunbar, WV., and one son, Worthy BROTHERTON, at home; also one brother, T. E. FOGLESONG, of Given, WV, a sister, Mrs. Minerva GREENE, of Huntington, who died fourteen hours and twenty-nine minutes later. A sister, Mrs. Alice BROTHERTON preceded her in death only six weeks ago. Eleven grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, also survive. (Jackson Herald, Fri., 6 Nov 1942)

      Death came to two aged sisters this week, only a few hours apart, and when relatives left the burial service they had for one on Tuesday afternoon, they immediately began plans for the last rites for the other, which were held in an adjoining neighborhood Wednesday afternoon.

      The sisters were Mrs. Sidney Ann (FOGLESONG) BROTHERTON, 83, who died at her home near Given on Monday morning after a two year illness, and the other was Mrs. Minerva (FOGLESONG) GREEN, 85, of Ripley, who died at Huntington Tuesday morning. Burial services for Mrs. BROTHERTON were held Tuesday afternoon and interment was in the BROTHERTON cemetery near Given, and the services for Mrs. GREENE were held on Wednesday afternoon at Fairview and burial was in the cemetery there.

      Surviving Mrs. BROTHERTON are her husband, John W. BROTHERTON, of Given; three daughters, Mrs. Laura KESSEL and Mrs. Corda BUCKALEW, of Dunbar, 11 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild. Surviving Mrs. GREENE are two sons, Senator John H. GREENE, of Albany, Ohio, and a daughter, Mrs. E. L. HOGSETT, of Huntington. The two sisters are survived also by a brother, T. E. FOGLESONG, of Given. His four sisters have died within the past few months. (Jackson Herald, Fri., 23 Oct 1942)
