Brandt, Philemon, (page 1185), miller, was born in Green county, 
Wisconsin, September 18, 1850. He was tenth of twelve children, born to 
Eli and Mary Nofsinger-Brandt, natives of Somerset county, Pennsylvania. 
In 1854 the family settled in Dodge county, Minnesota, where they lived on 
a farm until 1871, when Eli purchased the farm in West Albany where they 
now live. Upon settlement here Mr. Brandt purchased the sawmill formerly 
owned by Hiram Fellows, and in 1877 the present gristmill was erected by 
Philemon, Rufus and Mason Brandt, brothers, who are now doing a 
flourishing business. Mason Brandt is married and living in Walsh county, 
Dakota, while the mill is run by Philemon and Rufus, who are young men of 
energy and promise.
