Death was attributed to heart failure. He had come to town ten days previously for medical care and had fallen in his hotel room, apparently of a heart attack. He entered the hospital a couple of days later when his condition became critical. Mr. Brannin was the seventh child born in his family and was the seventh to die. Survivors include two sisters, Mrs. Albert (Alice) Tucker of Boise, Idaho, and Mrs. Robert (Anita) Ward of Melville; four brothers, Richard, Barney ad Crawford at the Brannin ranch and Sidney of Port Angeles, Wash; also several nieces and nephews. Mr. Brannin was born March 21, 1886, in Grant county, New Mexico a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Stanton S. Brannin. The father received the first homestead patent granted in New Mexico. In 1894, when Gus was nine years old, the family moved toward Montana by wagon train taking with them 300 horses, 100 burros, and 940 Angora goats. Drouth on the Little Colorado, worse as they proceeded north, compelled them to turn most of the horses and burros loose to shift for themselves in the hope they might return in a roundup the next spring, but this never occurred. During the winter in Utah, most of the goats were lost in a blizzard. The present goat herd at the Brannin ranch stems from the survivors of that storm. They were the first of their breed brought into Montana. The family reached Montana the following year, locating at Silver, a mining camp near Helena. In. 1902 they came here, locating in Swee grass Cayon above Melville. Except for a couple of years spent in California and several months in Helena, Gus had resided at the ranch ever since he came here associated with three brothers in the dude ranch and cattle business.
