JNO. M. BRANCH. When a man is a good man personally, he cannot be otherwise than a good official. The man who always does his duty as a citizen will always do right as an official. There is not a man occupying an official position in Wise County that has more friends or any better official record than has John M. Branch, our efficient sheriff. Mr. Branch has resided in Wise County for thirty years, and is well-known as a man of sterling qualities. He is intensely loyal to his friends, and no man is more ready to accommodate his friends than Mr. Branch. But he does not allow personal feelings to influence him in any way when it comes to the performance of his duty. As a citizen, Mr. Branch has always stood as high as the highest and no one has a thing to say against ‘him, either as an officer or citizen. The voters of Wise County did not make a mistake when they selected Mr. Branch as their choice. The people’s interests are always first in his mind, self being a secondary consideration. He is a native of Texas, being born in Bellview, Rusk County, Texas, September 13, 1867. He was married to Miss Lenora Kelley, of Wise County, March 14, 1903.
