Herman Brandenburg met his death ten years ago in a Chicago fire, he being a member of the Chicago Fire Department. Three daughters survive- Mrs. J.J. Kautz, of La Plata, Missouri, and Mrs. C.E.

Andres of Chicago, Mrs. Minnie Zier of Joliet, Illinois, Mrs. Dora Dierking of Bremen, Kansas, and Henry Wilke of Tinley Park, Illinois. Thirteen grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren are numbered among the survivors. Mrs. Kautz was here for a week preceding her mother's death and all daughters were present during the last illness. She was a quiet woman, the purpose of her life being to serve the family. She was entirely wrapped up in the home life. She has always been, however, a kind neighbor and a friend in need. Many expressions of sympathy are extended to the grieving relatives.
