Haislip, Brawner N. - 25 Feb 1921 M. J. - On Tuesday evening, February 22, between six and seven o’clock at the Emergency Hospital in Washington, Brawner N. Haislip died of complications following an operation for pleuritic abscess. He had been ill some time and was taken to the hospital several weeks ago, but returned to his home later, not having been much benefited. When his condition became alarming, he was again sent to the Emergency. This time an operation was attempted to drain the cavity, but it could not be completed on account of the extreme weakness of the patient.
Mr. Haislip was the son of Mr. S. M. Haislip, of Manassas, his mother having died several years ago. He was born near Catharpin a little more than thirty-nine years ago, and lived in that neighborhood until within the past five years when he came to Manassas and engaged in business. At the time of his death he was proprietor of the Manassas Produce Co., and by his earnest
efforts and enterprise had succeeded in building up a large and lucrative business.
The deceased leaves a widow, who was a Miss Patton, of Fairfax, and two children, Miss Helen and Master Robert Haislip, and a father, Mr. S. M. Haislip, one brother, Mr. William Haislip, of Washington and three sisters, Mrs. Fannie Roberts and Mrs. Annie Lenhardt, of Washington, and Minnie Haislip, of Lorton.
The remains were brought here Wednesday evening and the funeral services were held at his late home at 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon. The body was interred in the cemetery at Manassas by Stonewall Council, Order Fraternal Americans, of which the deceased was a member, assisted in the solemn rites of the order by Bull Run Council of Manassas. 93
