EDWARD BRUETT

Edward Bruett, son of Otto and Sarah Bruett, was born March 18, 1874, and died May 10, 1918. The funeral was held from the Church of Christ Monday, May 13th at 2:30 p.m.

There is something in expressively sad in Edward Bruett's life experience. When a child he was stricken with brain fever, from the effects of which he never recovered. He was a promising child, with a bright mind and sunny disposition, but fever shackled the growing mind and it did not develop with the body, so as a little child he went to God and we believe that through the tender grace and mighty power of the Great Physician, he will as other children, grow to enjoy the fulness of the mind's rich gifts that were denied him here.

Although he was not known in Winterset, many friends of the Bruetts were present at the funeral. Rev. Burton, pastor of the Church of Christ, conducted the service. He was laid to rest in Rock City cemetery.
