OBIT: February 28, 1929  (Possibly in the Long Prairie Leader but I am 

not sure)

  Erick E. Brendmoe

While not unexpected, news of the death of Erick E. Brendmoe pioneer 

resident of Todd county who had been in ill health at the Community 

hospital in Osakis for several weeks, was received by his many friends 

with many expressions of regret. He passed away at an early hour Saturday 

morning surrounded by members of the family.  Erick E. Brendmoe was born 

in Meraker, Norway, January 20, 1860, and died at Osakis Minn., February 

23, 1929, aged 69 years, one month and three days. He came with his 

parents to America in 1871 and they settled first in Goodhue county where 

they made their home for four years, later going by prairie schooner to 

Big Stone lake where they resided for one year before moving to Todd 

county. On July 29, 1881, he was united in marriage to Miss Mali 

Trondset in Gordon township, and to this union eight children were born 

of which six survive; Mrs. Peter Danielson, Graceville, Minn.; Mrs.

o'clock tuesday afternoon and from the Salem church at 2 o'clock, the 

pastor, Rev. J. A. Johnson, officiating. The services were largely 

attended and the great profusion of flowers attested the high regard 

in whick the deceased was held by his old friends and neighbors. 

Music was furnished by the Gordon make quartet and by the M. E. church 

mixed quartet who sang several sacred selections.

  Mr. Brendmoe affiliated with the Salem congregation and in his quiet

unassuming way was one of its most respected members. He was a kind 

neighbor and loyal friend and his death is deeplymourned by all who 

enjoyed his acquaintance.
