Lt. Maurice Braden,
Shelbyville Native
Fortress Crash Victim
----------
It was learned here Friday that Lt. Maurice E. Braden, one of 16[?] Army men who were killed when a Flying Fortress crashed and burned in California late in October, was a native of this city. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl E. Braden, of Indianapolis, former residents of Shelbyville.
The young man was born in Shelbyville, but his parents moved to Indianapolis when he was small. His mother will be remembered here as Miss Grace Norvell.
He received his wings and commission at Mather Field, Calif., on September 11 and was married to Miss Wanda Minton, of Indianapolis, that day. He had served as an instructor at the field since his graduation and the plane crashed while on a routine flight.
The young man has several distant relatives in this community. His parents reside at 3909 Spaul[?] avenue, Indianapolis.

----------
Death came to end the suffering of Mrs. Ermina Braden at the Memorial Hospital at 4:30 p.m. Sunday. She was taken there 2 1/2 weeks previous after having sustained a fall which broke her hip. Although well advanced in years, Mrs. Braden made a brave fight to get well but to no avail.
Ermina Dickinson was a daughter of Amos and Indiana (Palmerton) Dickinson and was born in Clay Township Sept. 18, 1844, and was married in 1865 to Richard J. Braden, a veteran of Co. D of the Seventh Indiana Regiment. He died seven years ago. They lived for many years on the farm one mile southeast of Milford where their son, Charles A. Braden and family now live. Later they lived on a farm two miles west of Liberty Church, moving from there to Greensburg in 1910. They were also residents of Greensburg for a few years in the 80's and returned to the farm.
Three children were born to this family: Charles A., of Clay township; Mrs. Anna Butler, who died three years ago, and Harry Braden of this city. She is also survived by a half-brother, John Fairbanks of Detroit, Mich., and a half-sister, Mrs. Mary Grover, of Shelbyville.
The deceased was a devoted member of the Methodist church since early life and a member of the W.R.C. She was of cheery disposition, kind-hearted and generous, and a woman who dispensed sunshine wherever she went. The world is bright and souls are happier because she lived.
The funeral will be held in the home at 327 East Washington Street Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, The Rev. C. W. Whitman officiating. Burial in South Park.
