As the letterhead on the stationery indicates, Mr. Branch was receiving medical treatment at The Electro-Chemic Institute in New Orleans. Also mentioned in the letter is another daughter, Callie. According to available family information, Mr. Branch suffered from colon cancer, a disease that took his life later that same year. Edward Tillman Branch II was born in 1850 to Edward Tillman Branch and his wife Winiford Ragland Branch, my great-great-great-grandparents.
