Naaman Branscum Obituary
SIDNEY — Naaman Branscum, 89, of Sidney, passed away at 1:50 P.M. Wednesday, December 30, 2020 at his residence surrounded by family. He was born on June 14, 1931 in Yamacraw Community, Kentucky, the son of the late Ulyss and Martha "Lizze" (Thompson) Branscum. On July 14, 1956 he married the former Ina Williamson, who preceded him in death on September 12, 2020.

The family would like to thank Heartland Hospice for their wonderful care and for being with them during this time.
