On the 3d of December, 1840, he united in marriage with Anna Burkholder, of Knox county, who survives him. He was the father of ten children, five of whom are still living. Some time after his marriage Bro Brenneman and his wife both united with the Mennonite church, in Fairfield county, where they were at that time residing. In 1849 he was chosen and ordained to the ministry. In the spring of 1854 he removed, with his family, to Putman county, on the place where he resided to his death. In the same spring (1854) he was chosen and ordained to the office of bishop, which office he filled to the time of his death. He died on the 13th of May, aged 68 years and 3 days, manifesting unto the end and strong and confiding faith in Christ. When asked regarding his hopes of eternal life, he replied that he was perfectly resigned to the will of God, and that whenever it was the will of God to call him he was willing to go. At one time when in the night after he was engaged in prayer to God in deep contrition of heart, he saw before him a white path and Jesus standing at the farther end smiling toward him. When his older brother, also very feeble, came to see him on the Sunday before his death, he asked him regarding his hopes of the future he said, "They are as bright as ever." He was buried on the 15th, on which occasion funeral services were conducted by John F Funk, of Elkhart, Ind, from 2 Tim 4:6-8. A large concourse of friends were present. The loss sustained by his death is deeply felt by the sorrowing companion and children, as well as by the church for which he ministered so long; but their loss is his eternal gain. May a kind heavenly Father grant us grace to hold out faithful unto the end, and at last to enter into the rest remaining for the people of God, and there to meet those "Not lost, but gone before." Herald of Truth Vol XXVI, No 11 1 June 1889
