Louisa Lytle was born in Indiana June 2, 1852. She was married to George W. Breazile, at Irish Grove, Atchison County, Mo. in 1867. He preceeded her in death Oct. 17, 1893. To this union were born twelve sons and two daughters. Two sons and two daughters died while young. Ten sons are left to mourn her departing, being, Otho G. of Primrose, Nebr., Francis O. of Brunswick, Neb., William T. of Rock Port, Luther A. of Endicott, Nebr., Elmer of Fairfax, Garwood of Lincoln, George W. of Omaha, Arthur A. of Hamburg, and Benjamin H. and LeRoy, both of Omaha; also thirty grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren, one sister Mrs. D. Harris of Rock Port. Mrs. Miller herself was the 14th child of a family of 15 children. Her parents were Francis and Martha Lytle. She was on the 15th day of January, 1905, united in marriage to Francis M. Miller, who proceeded her in death on July 24, 1913. Mrs. Miller was a member of the Church of Christ for almost fifty years. As a kind and thoughful mother, she was one of the best, as is shown by the fact that when left a widow with ten children, the oldest twenty-three and the youngest three, she provided for and kept a home for them until the time of her death. Mrs. Miller had lived most of her life around Rock Port until fifteen years ago when she moved to Hamburg, Iowa. The past five years of her life she had been an invalid. A short service was held at her home in Hamburg on December 12 from whence the procession proceeded to Rock Port, where the final words were said at the Christian Church by Rev. W.B. Credson of Hamburg. She was then taken to Green Hill Cemetery. Taken from the Atchison County Journal, December 13, 1923 page l. Green Hill cemetery is on the northeast edge of Rock Port. Fairfax is also in Atchison County. Irish Grove area is nothing more than the site of an abandoned schoolhouse now. What it was in 1867, nobody remembers. Louisa might have gotten married at home.
==========
Sons of Late G. W. Brazeale Were All Here.--- Have all Remembered Mother Training and Learned Habits of Industry. The death of Francis Miller brought to this city last week the members of a remarkale family. It was the Breazeale family consisting of ten strong, stalky brothers, sons of Mrs. Miller. It was the first time the boys have all been together for years. The father of these boys, G.W. Breazeale, was born in Atchison county when things were pretty new. He was afterwards a prominent business man in Rock Port, where the children were born. The mother's maiden name was Louisa Lytle. In all fourteen children were born, four of them, two boys and two girls, dying in babyhood. The father died 21 years ago and the mother was left with the large family, seven of the children being under 10 years old. It was the father's last advice that she take them to a farm which had been purchased near Rock Port. She did so, and by skillful management she made things go. Every child learned to work and assume his share of responsibility. She looked carefully after their education and at his majority, presented each and every one with an insurance policy for $3,ooo. Seven years ago she married Mr. Miller. Every son learned a useful trade, though not all are following their trades now. Most of the boys are married and have families of their own and each would be glad to care for the mother in her declining year. They are able to do it too. B.H., who has been living at Lincoln, is going to remain here with the mother for the present. Of the boys, W.T. and E.E. are Atchison county farmers; O.G. is a blacksmith at Talmage, Nebr.; F.I. of Avoea, L.A. of Endicott and A.A. of Phelps Cy., have been engaged in railroading; Roy is a barber at Auburn; G.W.. of Auburn, Garwood of Avoca, and B.H., now located here, are writing life insurance.
