Charles E. (Eugene? Edward?) Bralley, born August 08, 1881 in Wythe County, Virginia, the oldest son of John Saunders Bralley and Louemma Williams; died October 31, 1913 in Pike County, Kentucky. He married Addie E. Harris 1907 in Scott County, Virginia. Marriage found in General Index to Marriages of Scott County, Virginia (Alphabetically by Male,) Phyllis L. Peterson, 820 West Alder Avenue, Hermiston, Oregon 97838, p. 52; Scott County Marriages, Book 3, page 70, line 24 - 1907. According to a certified copy of his death certificate in the possession of the author, Charles Bralley was a "walking boss" for the railroad construction company and was killed as a result of "injuries producing fractures with hemorrhages at the base of the brain." The accident occurred sometime before 6 p.m. on 30 October 1913, because that was when the doctor's records state he was first treated. Dr. R. H. Dunn of Stowe, Kentucky attended him from that time until 11 p.m. on 31 October 1913, when he died. Hurst Hardware Company of Williamson, West Virginia was undertaker and his remains were returned to Kingsport, Tennessee where they were interred on either 2 or 3 November 1913. He is buried in the Samuel Bachman Cemetery on Linville Street in Kingsport, a stone's throw from the Bralley home. The graveyard was on the property of Kingsport's first mayor, J. W. Dobyns, who along with his sons Ben and Flem Dobyns were lifelong friends of the Bralley’s. It is possibly for this reason that Charles Bralley was buried there. At the time of his death, the new "City Cemetery," later renamed Oak Hill Cemetery had not yet been established. His stone is one of the few left standing and legible. It is a small obelisk and reads "C. E. Bralley, 8 August 1881 - 30 October 1913 -- At Rest" The death date is actually wrong on his stone - he really died on 31 October 1913. No further information is known about him or his descendants, if any.

Charles E. Bralley's death record is from Kentucky Death Records, 1911-Present, Volume 56, Certificate Number 27931.
