William A. Bruett, whose death at Long Beach, Calif., was reported in last week's Madisonian, had lived nearly all his life in Madison county, spending his active years as a farmer in and around Winterset.

He is survived by his wife; the 10 children, Robert L. Bruett of Long Beach, Calif., Fred Bruett of Winterset, Orie J. Bruett of San Francisco, Calif., Mrs. Jerome Wright of Winterset, Mrs. Lester Trout of Oskaloosa, Mrs. G. E. Allen of Independence, Mo., Mrs. Floyd Schwab of Winterset, John M. Bruett of Des Moines, Mrs. Robert Alexandria of Kansas City, Mo., and Clark W. Bruett of Des Moines. He also leaves 11 grandchildren; a brother, George Bruett and a sister, Mrs. John Reid, both of Winterset.

Funeral services were held last Saturday from the Winterset Church of Christ in charge of the Rev. Tom Foglesong of Des Moines. Burial was made in the Winterset cemetery.
