BRACEWELL, of the firm of Bracewell Brothers & Lumsden, dealers in hardware, stoves, tinware and agricultural implements and also dealing in grain and seed, is a native of Illinois, born in Green County, that State, August 17, 1855. His father, John Bracewell is now a resident of Warren Township, having made his home in Wayne County, Iowa, since 1866. William E. Bracewell, our subject, came to Lineville in 1879, since which he has been engaged in his present business. This firm has met with excellent success, each of the members being men of good business qualifications. They carry a capital stock of $8,000, and their grain business alone amounts to $25,000 annually. Mr. Bracewell was united in marriage, August 26, 1877, to Miss Iantha Snow, daughter of Lucius Snow, of Monroe County, Iowa. They are the parents of three children -- Cecile, Winnie and Verne. Mr. Bracewell takes an active interest in educational matters, and has served efficiently as school director for five years. He is secretary of the agricultural society of Lineville, of which he held the position of treasurer for two years. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias. In his religious faith he believes in the doctrines of the Methodist Episcopal church. ***Murdered 1904** January 13, 1904 Humeston New Era W.E. Bracewell, a prominent farmer living near Woodland, Decatur county, was shot and killed by John H. Hayden last Friday afternoon. The men owned adjacent farms. Bracewell was engaged in driving his cattle out of Hayden's field when the murder occurred. Hayden surrendered to the sheriff and is now in jail at Leon. He feigns insanity. A press dispater from Leon states that the feeling is intense against Hayden. March 30, 1904 The Mount Ayr News states that the trial of John Hayden of Lineville, accused of the murder of Ed. Bracewell, is very likely to be tried in Ringgold County before Judge Towner at the April term. The News further says: The delay in the Hayden case arises from a peculiar circumstance. The indictments against Hayden and Charles Woodard, both for murder, found by the grand jury at the January term, were set aside this week by Judge Towner on the grounds that one member of the January grand jury was not a resident of Decatur county. The grand juror in question, George Watsabaugh, had moved to St. Joseph in November and although he stayed there only a week, he went there with the intention of residing, so he lost his Decatur county voting residence. A special grand jury has been drawn to consider the Hayden and Woodard cases, and if new indictments are voted Hayden's attorneys are likely to ask for a change of venue. June 8 1904 The trial of John F. Hayden for the murder of W. E. Bracewell at his farm twelve miles southeast of Leon, last January was held in that city a few days ago and resulted in a verdict of murder in the second degree.
