FRANK BRAUN

FRANK BRAUN, LAST G.A.R. VETERAN, IS DEAD
FULL MILITARY RITES PLANNED ON WEDNESDAY
Civil War Veteran Was The Last Surviving Member of Local G.A.R.
The H.M. Walker Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, which at one time 
enrolled scores of Civil war veterans, became just a memory on Monday with 
the death of Frank Braun, 92, last surviving member of the post. An invalid 
for the past two years, Mr. Braun died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. 
William Herman, on the Town Line road.
Following the oft-expressed wish of the deceased, a full military funeral 
is to be accorded the veteran, who fought through the four years of the 
Civil war, after running away from home to enlist in the First Wisconsin 
Regiment at Milwaukee. Six military and semi-military organizations will 
participate in the rites and the remains will be borne to their last 
resting place on a military caisson drawn by four horses. Services will 
be Wednesday afternoon.
Victim of a stroke over two years ago, Mr. Braun was still able to retain 
many of his faculties and never tired going over the stirring scenes of 
his Civil war career to (photo) the hosts of his visitors that called on 
him at the home of his daughter. Those included not only the campaigns of 
the Union armies in the western theater of war in Tennessee and Georgia 
but also his thrilling escape from Andersonville prison, toward the close 
of the war.
TO HONOR LAST VET
Various organizations joined today to provide the late Frank Braun, last 
veteran of the H.M. Walker Post of the G.A.R. here, with military funeral 
on Wednesday. The American Legion, Spanish War veterans and the Veterans

Born in Germany
Frank Braun was born 92 years ago on the Rhine in Germany. His father 
preceded him to America; locating north of what was then the village of 
Manitowoc and he made the trip to this country alone when a boy of 16 
years. Three years later the Civil war broke out but Braun was not of 
age and could not enlist here.
Determined to enroll in the Union armies, Braun made his way to Milwaukee, 
where he succeeded in enrolling in Company D, First Wisconsin Regiment. 
This regiment was one of the first sent to turn back the Confederate threat 
along the Mississippi. His regiment became a part of the Union forces under 
General U.S. Grant, who was named to the command of the Army of Western 
Tennessee which featured the battle at Shiloh, and Lookout Mountain.
Through the long years of the Civil war Braun continued to serve until he 
was taken prisoner and confined in Andersonville prison along with 35,000 
other Union prisioners for a period of 14 months. Then as the long struggle 
drew to a close, Braun made his escape from the rebel prison and made his 
way north, returning to his home in Manitowoc county.
Wed in 1868
It was in 1868 that he was married to Miss Sophie Hardrath of the town of 
Kossuth and they located on a farm in that town, after Mr. Braun had worked 
for a short time in a brewery at Branch. Mrs. Braun died 32 years ago.
Then years ago the deceased came to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. 
William Herman, north of the city. Up until a few years ago he continued to 
join with his comrades of the H.M. Walker post of the G.A.R. in the annual 
observance of Memorial Day here. Two years ago his health was such that he 
could not make the annual turnout. This year before he had joined with Jacob 
Williams in a special observance, they being the two last surviving members 
of the G.A.R. post here. Mr. Williams was fatally injured several months ago 
near Valders leaving Mr. Braun as the last survivor of the Walker post.
Survivors are Mrs. William Herman, a daughter, Emil Braun, a son on the 
homestead farm in the town of Kossuth, three sisters, Mrs. Frank Felzer Sr., 
Mrs. Frank Neuser, and Miss Helen Braun, all of the town of Kossuth, and 
seven grandchildren.

From Der Nord Westen, 10 Dec. 1908:
Consumption took the life Saturday, after many months of illness, 
of 29-year old Mrs. Frank Braunreiter, a resident of North 22nd 
Street. Especially grievous is the fact that 2 of the deceased’s 
children were suffering from smallpox at the same time. It is of 
the mildest strain but there is concern when it is overlaid with 
sadness over their mother’s death. Because they were under quarantine, 
only a closed funeral could be held with just the immediate next of

daughter Mrs. Fred C. Borcherdt, at Hotel Victoria. Mrs. Breunig,

Mrs. Edward Brey, Sr., pioneer resident of the city, having made her 
home here for more than fifty years, died at the family home on North 
Eight street at 10 o'clock this morning, aged 76.  Mrs. Brey had been 
a sufferer from an incurable malady for a long time but became 
seriously ill only ten weeks ago, since which time it had been known 
that death was only a matter of time.  During the past week Mrs. Brey's 
condition had been critical and death which came today, was a relief 
from pain suffering.  Mrs. Brey was conscious and knew those about her 
up to the end, which was peaceful
Mrs. Brey was born in Germany November 8, 1847 and since her arrival in 
America over fifty years ago had always made her home in this city. She 
was married to Mr. Brey fifty years ago September 20.  Her husband with

Mrs. Brey was a lifelong member of the Lutheran church and was active

her.  She was a woman whose life centered about her home and children 
and her life may be summed up with the tribute-good wife and mother.
Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon from the home to 
Evergreen cemetery, Rev. Machmiller officiating.

EDWARD BREY  (d. 1930)

Prominent Grocer Victim of Appendicitis Attack
EDW. BREY JR. DIES AT HOME LAST EVENING
Was Operated on Two Weeks Ago; 
In Business With Father; Took Over Store 3 Years Ago
Suffering an attack of appendicitis two weeks ago yesterday, and undergoing 
an operation, Edwin Frederick Brey, aged 44, prominent north side grocer, 
passed away last evening at the family home, 810 North Eighth street. His 
death was a shock to his family and friends, many of the latter not even 
knowing that he was in a serious condition.
Mr. Brey, who, with his father, had been engaged in the retail grocery and 
fruit business on the north side here for 25 years, had enjoyed the best of 
health up to the day he was stricken ill. He was a great sport devotee, and 
despite his weight, was able to play diamond ball in the same class with 
players many years his junior. Only two days before he was taken ill he 
played a game of diamond ball on the Lincoln park grounds as a member of the 
Herald-News team.
Burial on Saturday
After his operation Mr. Brey showed signs of improvement and for days strong 
hopes were held out for his recovery. But Wednesday his condition took a turn 
for the worse and he passed away at 7:30 last evening.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 from the home on 
North Eighth street and at two o'clock from the Emanuel Lutheran church on 
the north side, with Rev. Uetzman officiating.
The deceased was born in this city, February 23, 1886 and has always made his 
home here. He obtained his education in the local schools and early in life 
entered the employ of his father, Edward Brey Sr. in the conduct of the 
grocery and fruit store on North Eighth street, located on the present site 
of the Dick Bros. store. He was later taken into the business and the firm 
became known as Edward Brey and Sons. In the year 1914 a new brick store and 
warehouse was erected by the firm at the southwest corner of North Eight and 
Chicago streets.
Takes Over Business
Two and a half years ago Edward Brey Sr. retired from active business and the 
son then took charge of the business, which he conducted up to the time of his 
death. He was married September 8, 1910 to Miss Mary Albrecht of Two Rivers, 
who survives him with two sons, Edwin and Kenneth, his father, Edward Brey Sr., 
one brother, Walter Brey of Chicago and two sisters, Mrs. Norman Markle of 
Rochester, Minn., and Mrs. Fred Levenhagen of this city.
Was Ardent Fan
The death of Mr. Brey removes from the community an ardent sport fan particularly 
of high school athletics. Both of Mr. Brey's sons, Kenneth, who graduated this 
last June, and Edwin, who finished two years ago, were prominent in basketball, 
football and track at Lincoln high school and Mr. Brey was a close follower of 
the teams on which his sons were members, follwing them to neighboring cities 
for their contests.
Mr. Brey was a devout member of the Lutheran church here. Always of a jovial and 
happy disposition he counted his friends by the hundreds who will deeply regret 
the passing of a most promising and progressive young business man.
