T. A. BRUNER DIED THURSDAY AT TRURO

Former Farmer Near Peru Had Lived Recently in Truro

Truro --(Special)--T. A. Bruner, well-known elderly resident of this community for the past three years died at his home here last Thursday after a brief illness with influenza and complications. He was 75 years of age.

Mr. Bruner was a native of Nicholsville, Ky., where he was born August 29, 1863, the son of Greenberry and Nancy Hogan Bruner. He was the oldest of four children, and the death of his father threw the entire responsibility of the family on his shoulders when he was 14 years of age.

He united with the Church of Christ in childhood and remained a faithful member throughout his life.

His marriage to Cynthia R. Gillispie was solemnized at Independence, Kan., on Oct. 17, 1888. They were the parents of three daughters, one of whom died in infancy.

Mr. and Mrs. Bruner moved to Iowa from Idaho in 1925, making their home near Peru until moving to Truro three years ago. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary here last Oct. 17.

He is survived by his wife; two daughters, Mrs. Myrtle Poindexter of Rupert, Idaho, and Mrs. Mable Holden of Truro; a brother, Luther G. Bruner of Nowata, Okla., and five grandchildren.

Funeral services were held last Saturday from the Christian church here, in charge of the Rev. Marguerite Shepard. Burial was made in the Peru cemetery.
