This family was in Bronaugh very early. We hope to learn more about them.

Mrs. Maria Loud The obituary and photo to the left are for Mrs. Maria Loud. Her son, Charles Loud, was well known in Bronaugh. This obituary tells that Maria had been born December 24, 1847. She had married Henry Loud but he died in 1874, meaning that Maria was a widow for nearly 50 years. Her daughter, Nellie, had married Cal Ream. This obituary lists her death date as February 14, 1923. However that is almost certainly an error because this obituary was in the February 20, 1924 Bronaugh Journal and cemetery records also list her death year as 1924. Maria was buried at Worsley Cemetery. Other Worsley Cemetery Loud burials include Charles O. Loud, June 2, 1867 - May 15, 1949 Minnie A. Loud, Sept 27, 1869 - March 5, 1912 Delcene Loud, December 28, 1903 - March 9, 1918 Gertrude Loud, see below   This is Gertrude Loud, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Loud when she was a flower girl at a wedding. Charles was a son of Mrs. Maria Loud of Bronaugh. Be sure and look at the Train Wreck Site. Gertie was a victim of that wreck. Thanks to John Yelding-Sloan for sharing this scan. For those of you who use GPS, the coordinates for the Loud graves at Worsley Cemetery are N 37° 40.800 W 094° 29.595 Delcene Loud died in 1918 at the age of 15. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Loud. This cup ended up with Dicy Feller, who perhaps was Delcene's friend.
