Hospital Wed. – Citizens of Wolbach and community were grieved last night when the message reached here that Herman Brandt had passed away about 7:00 o'clock at the St. Francis hospital in Grand Island. Herman became seriously ill at his farm home in the Olive neighborhood north-east of town Friday night and was taken to the hospital Sunday. Monday morning he underwent an appendix operation. The appendix had ruptured previous to the operation and peritonitis was very apparent at that time. Herman has always been a strong and active personality and while his condition has been considered critical from the starting of his illness, his passing came as a distinct shock to members of the family and his many friends. Funeral arrangements have not been completed yet. ~~~~~~~~ From The Wolbach Messenger, Wolbach, Nebraska, Thursday, February 21, 1935, transcribed by Linda Berney: Funeral Rites Held for Herman Brandt – The body of Herman Brandt, who died Wednesday evening of last week following an appendix operation at the hospital in Grand Island was laid to rest in Hillside cemetery Saturday afternoon. A brief funeral service was held at the home of his mother here where the body was taken from the McIntyre funeral parlor where it had rested since being brought from Grand Island. The condition of the roads would not permit the taking of the body to the farm home of the deceased. Funeral services were conducted in Trinity Lutheran Church by the pastor, Rev. Rhine assisted by Rev. Kaldahl. Pall bearers were Scott Barr, Emmet Wagner, John Caudle, Ernest Starr, Geo. Myers and Chris Lund. Zola Mae McIntyre, Wilma Marcoe, Lucille Barr and Virgene Wagner assisted with the beautiful and profuse floral offerings. Herman August Lewis Brandt was born March 24, 1890 at Cedar Rapids, Nebraska and died at the St. Francis Hospital, in Grand Island, February 13, 1935 at the age of 35 years 10 month and 20 days. When four years of age he moved with his parents to the vicinity of Wolbach where he resided the rest of his life. He was baptized in infancy in the Lutheran church at Cedar Rapids and was confirmed in Wolbach Trinity Lutheran church by the late Rev. Dr. R. A. White. On his twenty-fifth birthday March 24, 1924, he was united in marriage to Lela Silk who survives to mourn his passing. Besides his devoted wife he leaves a grief-stricken mother, Mrs. Minnie Brandt, five sisters and three brothers, namely: Mrs. Drew Jackson and Mrs. Joe Steensen of this community, Mrs. Bertha Olsen of Grand Island, Mrs. Ray Wilbur, Mrs. Gus Schomburg and William Brandt, also of this vicinity, August and Louis living at home with the mother, many other relatives and a host of friends. He was preceded in death by his father who passed away in 1922. "There is no death! The dust we tread Shall change beneath the Summer showers, To golden grain or mellowed fruit, Or rainbow tinted flowers. There is no death! The leaves may fall And flowers may fade and pass away; They only wait through wintry hours The coming of the May. There is no death! An angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread; He bears our best loved things away; And then we call them "dead." But ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is life – There are no dead." Relatives from a distance who attended the funeral were: Mrs. Bertha Olsen and daughter Marcella of Grand Island, Miss Eva Fox, Everett Fox, Will Huffman, Dale Huffman and Lee Silk all of Red Oak, Ia. The profound sympathy of the community at large is extended to the bereaved family. Card of Thanks – We are deeply grateful to our neighbors and many friends for assistance given, kindness shown and sympathy extended us in the hours of sorrow following the death of our beloved husband, son and brother, and for the many beautiful floral tributes. We trust that each and all of you may accept this expression as personally addressed. Mrs. Lela Brandt, Mrs. Minnie Brandt and Children.
