making his home with his daughter at Independent, Kansas, he made frequent
visits to Pierce to look after his land interests and his many friends were

Brande’s health had been fully as good as usual and

condition was greatly improved Tuesday and Wednesday following and he was up

These
services were attended by a large company of friends who had known him during
the thirty seven years he had lived in our midst. Some had been identified with
him during his work as pastor of the Congregational church, while others who
were connected with the Sunday school at that time had brown to be men and
women of the present heads of families.
The
rostrum was a veritable bank of flowers—the expression of love and respect from
relatives and many friends. The casket was draped with the flag he loved so
well and with the Masonic apron.
The
services at the church were very simple, consisting of three hymns, “Asleep in
Jesus”, “Lead Kindly Light” and “Abide With Me”, sung by a mixed quartet,
consisting of Judge Douglas Cones, Mesdames H. H. Holbert
and A. J. Mastalir and Theo Buerkle,
with Mrs. Elmer Magdanz as pianist.
Rev.
C. Vincent, pastor of the church, read several select portions of scripture and
also read the history of the life of Rev. Brande,
