The Arlington Journal, Arlington, Texas, Thursday October 10, 1901. Gone To His Reward. Death of Capt. M. J. Brinson, an Old Pioneer of This County. One by one the old landmarks are passing away'97passing to that great beyond from whence no traveler ever returneth. This week we are called upon to chronicle the death of one of Tarrant county's oldest and most respected citizens, Capt. M. J. Brinson, aged 75 years, who laid down the habiliments of life and passed peacefully away last Tuesday night, death resulting from heart disease. Captain Brinson, as he was known, was one of the oldest settlers in this section of the state and was living in Tarrant county while Birdville was the county site. He built the first business house in Fort Worth and has been closely identified with the county's progress and advancement. The funeral services were conducted at the Cumberland Presbyterian church this morning at 10 o'clock, the same being conducted under the auspices of the local Masonic order, of which he had long been a member, and, we are informed, was next to the oldest Mason in Tarrant county. Besides a wife, several grown children survive to whom The Journal extends sincere sympathy and condolence.
