Red Wing papers please copy. --------- This obit is from an unknown paper in 1908. Obituary of Emily Johnson Bruber: Emily Johnson was born in Skona, Sweden, Sept 16, 1834. At the age of 17 she came to America, settling first in Illinois. In 1853 she came to Red Wing, which had only a few white families at that time, and here in 1857 she was married to Frank Bruber by Rev. C. Hobart. They continued to live in Red Wing until the fall of 1872 when they moved to Prairie Island, where they lived very happily until his death in 1894. Since that time she has lived among her children, but mostly in St. Paul, where she passed away Sept. 29, at the home of a daughter, Mrs. George Day. In her girlhood Mrs. Bruber was a member of the Swedish Lutheran church but later in life united with the Presbyterian church of Red Wing. Quiet and unobtrusive in her religion as in all else, she live a good life, helping here and there wherever she saw the need and leaving an influence for good behind her. In the last illness of almost a year, although she suffered greatly at times, she never murmured or complained. In the hearts and homes of those who were privileged to know and love her she has left a vacant spot which none can fill. Seven children are left to mourn the loss of one of the best of mothers. The funeral services were held at the home where she died in St. Paul, on Wednesday afternoon and afterward at the Swedish Lutheran church on Prairie Island, Thursday, Oct 1, when the remains were laid to rest beside those of her husband. Rev Bicknell of the First Chrisian church of St. Paul officiating at both services.
