Health History of Braly and Reams lines with pictures

The Braly side:
Jesse Edward Braly was born on June 4, 1921 In White Sulphur Springs, Meagher Co, Montana.
He died on January 9, 1989 in Visalia, Tulare Co, California at age 67.  He had been told he had Leukemia.  His death certificate lists him as dying at age 67 from Pneumonia, contributing factor: Emphysema.
He is on the left of the picture, with his sister Margaret in darker clothes on his right.
His mother is in the lighter colored blouse (Ilola May Jefferson Braly).  His grandma (Emma Ringhausen Bartsch Braly) in the darker clothes.
Jesse is standing next to his sister Margaret "Marge", his parents Clarence Braly and Ilola May Jefferson Braly are seated.  His living sibling is seated.



Jesse married Catherine Ora Reams on January 1, 1947 in Redondo Beach, Los Angeles County, California at the South Bay Christian Church.

 Jesse's father was Clarence Braly.  He was born January 3, 1897 and died on October 31, 1972.  He died of myocardial infarction due to arterioschleratic heart disease at age 75.

Patrick Jefferson has his right hand on his father in law's left shoulder.  His father in law is Reinhart Zehntner.
Patrick was accused of horse stealing.  He was cleared of the charges in court, but encouraged to leave town anyway, by his father in law, I believe, Reinhart Zehntner.  He was married and had 3 children, I believe.  Martha and the children stayed in White Sulphur Springs, Montana.  He later remarried I believe to Dorothy, if the census is correct.  He died in Chicago, IL and is buried atop his mother's casket with no marker for him.    I have a couple pictures of him with his trick ponies.  
 He was in the Wild West Show and even went overseas.  He trained horses for the army.  He had his leg injured doing that I believe.  His death certificate lists him as a Janitor.  He died age 75 of Bronchopneumonia, Generalized arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular disease, Hypertrophy with urinary retention.
