WILLIAM BRANDT.

William Brandt was born in Wadikov Pommery, Germany, on November 3rd, 1845, and died at the Ed Brass home just south of town on Sunday evening, January 28th, 1912.

A year ago last November Mr. Brandt received a paralytic stroke in his left leg and arm. Ever since that time he has been unable to leave his bed. He passed away very quietly.

Funeral services were held from the house Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Schuldt of Burt and his remains were taken there for burial, he having been a member of the Burt church.

He was married to Friederike Wilhelmina Dettman in 1869 and to this union were born nine children, three of whom are dead and the other six are still living. Among the sorrowing ones are five daughters, one son, a sister and a large number of friends.
