His full name was John Peter Braziell. Early in his life, his surname was spelled Braziel, however on his marriage license and death certificate, Braziell is used.

Our family has a different birth year for John, January 1860. On the marriage certificate, it confirms his date of birth as January 15 and states that he will be 25 on his next birthday, which would be the next day, as he signed the return on January 14, 1885. It confirms his birth place as Oppenheim, New York and one calculates his birth year as 1860. However his death certificate gives his year of birth as 1861. His death certificate also gives his place of birth as Little Falls, New York, which is incorrect as his father, Peter, only lived in Little Falls near the end of his life.

John held a variety of jobs when he was younger, and settled into the job of florist and gardener in his mid and later years. His granddaughter told of his love of music. His son was an adept storyteller which is believed that he learned from his father as well.

John and Rose were married on January 14, 1885 at the Church of the Nativity. The Official was Rev. G. (Gallus) Bruder, Pastor. Witnesses: William Schamberger, Mary (Maria) E. Oberst. William was the younger brother of Rose, Mary Oberst was a friend of Rose's.
