On Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock Alba H. Braden, of this city, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. J. G. Clark, of Frankfort. The funeral took place Tuesday at 11 o’clock a.m. at St. John’s Church in Lafayette, the interment occurring immediately there after in the Spring Grove Cemetery by the side of his brother, who died some years ago.
Mr. Braden was born in Clinton County July 7, 1839, and came to Crawfordsville, where he continued to reside, until a few months ago failing health caused him to remove to the home of his sister. Mr. Braden was never married. He leaves two brothers, H. S. Braden, of this city, and A. B. Braden, of Lafayette, and four sisters, Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Jennings and Mrs. Spring, of Lafayette. He was one of the best known citizens of Crawfordsville and enjoyed the esteem and high regard of all who had his acquaintance. His life was a quiet but busy one and the memory of this pleasant gentleman will long remain in the city which he has made his home. -s
