His parents were Dr. Joel Branham and Emily, daughter of Thomas Cooper, the devoted Baptist deacon of Eatonton. He went to Penfield to school in the year 1838, while quite young, and remained three years. He-was a pupil there when Mercer Insti- tute was organized as a college, and was a member of the first Freshman class. After leaving Penfield he attended the Eatonton school until about his eighteenth year. In 1845 he entered Emory Col- lege, at which he was graduated in 1847. Tle was converted and joined the Baptist church at Pen- field in 1838. He was ordained in 1866, in Madi- son, Ga. He was called to ordination by the Madi- son Baptist church, and immediately after to the charge of that church, in which he continued two and a half years. . While residing in Tennessee he incidentally served the churches at Brownsville, Humboldt, and Stanton. Compelled by ill health to return.to Georgia in 1874, he was called to the pastorate of the church in Marietta, at the same time preaching once a month to the church at Noonday. He is at present pastor of the Baptist church at Eatonton, Ga., and preaches once a month to the church at. Harmony, Putnam Co., and also to the church at Monticello, Jasper Co.. Ga. He was a member of the faculty of the Geor-gia Female College in its early organization ; was president of the same institution after the war. From 1868 to 1874 was president of Brownsville Baptist Female College, the leading Baptist insti- tution of West Tennessee at that period. He was for a time trustee of Mercer University. Dr. Branham is one of the best educated and most highly cultivated of the living Georgia Bap- tist ministers, and to pulpit ability of high rank he unites fine oratorical powers and an exceeding amiability of disposition. He is remarkably clear in all his statements, because of a keen mental vision and a strong intellectual grasp. His talents are of a high order, and his sermons are surpassed by few, if by any, of the State ministry. Many of the years of his life have been spent in imparting instruction, generally as the president of a college for young ladies, and he is a teacher of rare ability. NOTE: On this entry and his first name I am thoroughly confused. Generally Cathcart is quite accurate with an occasional date off (which may be electronic transcription too.) In this case it appears he got the first name wrong and strangely so did possibly the obituary. Joel was the name of his father and his brother that was a judge. Findagrave has his obituary which the paper listed as Iverson as his first name- and his gravestone says Isham. Iverson was his wife&#8217;s maiden name and they had two sons- one named Isham and another with the middle name of Iverson which he apparently went by. My guess is that Isham was a nickname?? Names can sometimes get confusing in research as many families recycled names. Here is his obituary (sadly it is noted that he was a mason) Atlanta Constitution, 18 Nov 1895Forsyth, Ga., November 17. &#8211; (Special.) &#8211; The big, bright sun smiled beamingly down on a populace of crushed hearts here Friday. Never, perhaps, has there been cast a shadow of deeper sorrow across this little city than that which was caused by the death of Rev. Dr. Iverson R. Branham, which sad even occurred Friday morning at Kirkwood, near Atlanta. The morning train brought down the remains of this universally beloved man, whose request was that he be laid to rest here in the cemetery among those whom he loved so fondly and who in return loved him. The remains were met at the depot by a vast concourse of grief-stricken friends and were taken in charge by the Strict Observance lodge No. 18, F. &amp; A.M. The Baptist church, of which he was pastor for year4s, was crowded by the friends of the lamented deceased, and when the casket was placed in front of the pulpit by the pallbearers it was surrounded by a veritable wilderness of flowers.Dr. McDonald, of Atlanta, who conducted the services, read an appropriate scripture, which he followed by a fervent prayer, Mr. Goode Price, of Macon, sang with exquisite sweetness, &#8220;He Giveth His Beloved Sleep.&#8221; The congregation sang, &#8220;Asleep in Jesus.&#8221;The text read by Dr. McDonald was from Timothy iv, 2: &#8220;For I am now ready to be offered, and my departure is at hand.&#8221; With tender pathos and great feeling the speaker referred to the life work of the deceased, who was one of his closest and best friends. During the eloquent discourse many heart sobs could be heard, and there were no dry eyes in the large audience. Everybody loved the coffined friend before them and every allusion to him found lodgment in the deepest recesses of their hearts. At the conclusion of Dr. McDonald&#8217;s discourse, Rev. R. T. Asbury, for years associated with Dr. Branham at the Monroe Female college, made a few remarks, in which he referred to the deceased with great earnestness and tenderness. Rev. M. H. Lane followed with an eloquent allusion to Dr. Branham&#8217;s former pastorate of the church here and the deep love in which he was held by the members of his congregation. The remarks of Dr. lane were touching in the extreme. &#8220;One Sweetly, Solemn Thought&#8221; was beautifully sung by Miss Undine Lane and the remains were borne to pretty Oakland cemetery, where the great, gentle heart was left to sleep among those whom he loved so well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t39.30808-6\/330526868_687897706462819_6972664286718891486_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=5cd70e&amp;_nc_ohc=BA0yY4RRK8UAX-RVYaN&amp;_nc_oc=AQmIlktrHJgJlYPVf0tMtkHENLOThugiD-uuu_LgxQIiB7HlJ8qqQsm3G7PRkIK6SyaHPrjZbNDyh6ZAg-fe_OnV&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&amp;oh=00_AfALbE-BnY2QOqmT_LJnuhVqhOodazFowBBa_0eMe1yDBQ&amp;oe=64143B8F\" alt=\"May be an illustration of one or more people\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-lga3-2.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t39.30808-6\/333256928_612266200748274_2889214705527636492_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=5cd70e&amp;_nc_ohc=5JmESEzHVqQAX-cjaT3&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-2.xx&amp;oh=00_AfCJg9eqsG4ddgHZ8kvmJiTicAYTmsGc9gtjWEAm8PnNAQ&amp;oe=64152FC4\" alt=\"May be an image of outdoors\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baptist Church History Facebook Daily Baptist Encyclopedia Post by Jim Curran The Mystery of a name????- see note at bottom Branham, Joel (Isham or Iverson) or R., D.D.,was born in Eatonton, Putnam Co., Ga., Dec. 23, 1825.
