BRANDT

Sunday morning occurred the death of Mrs. Doris Brandt at the family residence 602 west Fourth street. The cause of death was an apoplectic stroke, which affected Mrs. Brandt at the beginning of last week. She was born in Pronsdorf, near Kiel, and came to America with her parents July 7, 1846. After a stay of three and one-half years in Erie, Pa., she came to Davenport in 1850. Here she was married to Mr. Wm. Brandt Nov. 22, 1856. Her husband and ten children survive with her aged mother to mourn her loss. The surviving children are William, who lives in Denver, Colo.; Mrs. Sophie Ehlers and Mrs. Mary Seeley and August Brandt of Scribner, Neb.; and Doris, Emma, Augusta, Julia and Julius at home. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence.
