Read More	Illness Fatal to Charles G. Brewer Charles George Brewer, 61, a Palo Alto county resident for the past 36 years, died at his home here Sunday after an illness for several months. Funeral services will be held at Assumption church at 3:30 Wednesday morning with the Very Rev. W.F. Mason, pastor officiating. Burial will be in St. John's cemetery with the Martin Funeral home in charge of the arrangements. Pallbearers will be George Carter, Claude Pusley, Elmer Elberts, John Fickboth, Bill Fries and Bob Harrison. Mr. Brewer was born in Louisville, Ky. in 1888, the son of Isaac and Sophronia Brewer. He spent the early years of his life there. He also lived in Tiskilwa, Ill. before coming to this county. On Dec. 10, 1907, he married Miss Ada Buchanan in Emmetsburg. This couple had seven children, all of whom are living. Mr. Brewer farmed in the Rodman community for nearly 36 years. Last November when his health began to fail, he went to Iowa City for a check-up and later returned to the University hospital there where he underwent an operation on Nov. 27. Although his condition showed improvement at times, his health failed rapidly in the last few months and in the recent weeks preceding his death there was no hope for his recovery. The Brewers had a farm sale on Jan. 16 and then moved to Emmetsburg. They bought the George Carter house in the south part of town. Although most of the Brewer children lived far from Emmetsburg, they visited their father frequently during his last illness. Four of the couple's children were here only 10 days before Mr. Brewer's death. Surviving are Mrs. Brewer and seven children, Mrs. A.D. Myers, Emmetsburg; Leslie and Robert Brewer and Mrs Sam Cherbo, Chicago, Ill.; Burton Brewer, Detroit, Mich.; Wilbur Brewer, Peoria, Ill.; and Charles Brewer, Jr., Harvey Ill. Also surviving are 18 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Mr. Brewer also leaves a brother, A.J. Brewer of Chicago, Ill., and six half brothers, Art, Richard, Gerald, Edgar, and Oscar Underwood of Davenport. He was preceded in death by two brothers and two sisters. A patient sufferer, Mr. Brewer was resigned and understanding. A devoted husband and father, he was a highly respected member of the Rodman community where he lived so long. His death will be generally regretted. [From the Emmetsburg (Iowa) Reporter, July 18, 1950. Contributed by Michael Peterson.]
