Mrs. Mary A. Brandt Passed Away Sunday, at the Age of Eighty-four Years
Mrs. Mary A. Brandt, known to many of her friends and relatives as "Grandma" Brandt, a life-long resident of Chariton county, and one of the county's oldest and most respected women, passed away at her home on Bowling Green Prairie, south of Dalton, on Sunday, March 20, 1927, at the ripe old age of 84 years, 9 months and 4 days. Mrs. Brandt had been in feeble health for some time, suffering from the infirmities of old age, and the end was not unexpected.
Mary Anna Feaker was born near Brunswick on June 16, 1842, and her entire life was spent within a few miles of the place of her birth. On August 1, 1860, she was married to Charles Henry Brandt, who preceded her to the grave in 1879. Seven children were born of this union. two of whom Frederick William and John preceded the mother in death a number of years ago. The surviving children are: Charles Henry, Mrs. Charles W. Steiman, John Frederick, Edward Oscar and Marie Caroline, all of the vicinity of Dalton. In 1904, when her own children had reached mature age, it devolved upon Mrs. Brandt to take the place of a mother in the rearing of a motherless granddaughter, now Mrs. Marie Caroline Brandt Knight. And her love and care for the grandmother in her declining years, and throughout her illness to the end.
Besides the three sons and two daughters, Mrs. Brandt leaves eight grandchildren and a host of friends.
At the age of 16 years Mrs. Brandt was converted under the ministry of the Rev. George Schatz. She united with the Methodist church, remaining to the end a most faithful and useful member. Her life was one of great peace and satisfaction in the Lord. Her wonderful clear voice rang out in church in uplifting song and her Christian influence spread abroad over the entire community in which she lived. During her life she underwent much physical suffering, and about twenty years ago it was thought she could live only a few months at the most. But as a direct answer to prayer the Lord added unto her life these many years in her latter years her hearing was badly affected, and during this time she read much in the Word of God and in spiritual books.
The funeral services were conducted Tuesday by Rev. C. H. Schnakenberg, assisted by Rev. E. E. Mangold. Many sorrowing friends and relatives were in attendance and there was a profusion of beautiful floral tributes.
"Grandma" Brandt will be remembered as one of God's noblewomen in the community in which she lived for so many years.
