Herman William Bruns, youngest son of Ahlert and Margaretha Bruns, was born January 28, 1875 at Oakville, Washington County, Illinois and departed this life May 20, 1936 at the age of 61 years, 3 months and 22 days.
At the age of 8 years he came with his parents to Nebraska and located on the farm which has been his home ever since with the exception of three years (1916-1918) which he spent in Palmer, Nebraska. Having been baptized in his infancy he was confirmed in Zion Lutheran Church at Worms in the year 1888.
On October 4th, 1900 he was united in holy wedlock to Miss Johanna Seim. To this union 9 children were born, of which one son, William, died in infancy.
He leaves to mourn his loss: his wife, 4 sons and 4 daughters: Albert Bruns, St. Libory; Mrs. Helen Bader, St. Libory; Mrs. Elsie Weller, Palmer; Mrs Ella Hursck, Lincoln; Gerhard, Hulda, Armine and Harvey at home, ten grandchildren, one brother Henry at Stuart, Nebraska, many other relatives and friends.
The deceased had been in failing health since last fall, when he suffered a stroke, being able, however, most of the time to be up and around, until about four weeks ago. Since then he was confined to bed. Last Tuesday pneumonia set in and his end came at 3:15 P.M. Wednesday, due to heart attack. (funeral details followed.)
