Dec. 3, 1903, he was united in marriage to Alice Swartzendruber, who preceded him in death, April 9, 1938. The following children were born to this union: Maynard, of Wellman; Eliza, wife of I. Mark Ross, Hesston, Kans.; Mary Ellen, Ruth, and Mildred, at home. He accepted Christ in his youth and united with the East Union Mennonite Church, where he served in various capacities: superintendent of the Sunday school for 13 years. On Oct. 11, 1917 he was ordained a deacon, and two years later was ordained to the ministry. He was President of the Iowa-Nebraska District Mission Board since its organization, also served as member on the Local Board of the Iowa City Mission. Beside the immediate family he leaves 2 brothers (Peter C., of Wellman and William of Kalona), 3 sisters (Mrs. A. B. Gingerich, Mrs. J. G. Marner, Mrs. Dan Gasho, all of Kalona). About March of this year it became evident that his health was failing. His family and close friends did not realize the seriousness of his condition, until several months ago, when it was found that he was suffering from Bright's disease and other complications. The direct cause of his death was evidently apoplexy. Bro. Brenneman had always enjoyed good health until his last illness, and the multiplied duties and responsibilities no doubt hastened his end. He lived his entire life in the community where he was born and died, and his sudden passing was a shock to the entire community, especially to his fellow ministers in the East Union congregation, whose fellowship they enjoyed for 21 years; also by the congregation as a faithful minister, who always had their welfare at heart. Under his ministry many have grown to manhood and womanhood, and will always remember him as one who helped them in many of their problems, and through his influence have been directed in their decisions. His death is also mourned by the community at large, because of his ministry and public life, through which he won for himself the respect and friendship of many warm friends
