300            HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY 

Robert Bredt, a successful farmer of Buffalo township, was born in 
Cologne-on-the-Rhine, Germany, January 23, 1860, son of Titus and Agnes 
(Muller) Bredt. Titus Bredt was a man of considerable importance in his 
native city. A sugar refiner who had attained success in life, he was 
president of the local court of trade, and occupied other positions of 
trust and responsibility. He was born January 28, 1813, and died June 
30, 1885. His wife was born April 19, 1819, and died November 1, 1895. 
In their family there were nine children: Agnes, Titus, Marie, Henrietta, 
Caroline, Emil, Rudolph, Helena and Robert. Of this family, Robert, the 
subject of this mention, was the only one who came to the United States. 
He had received a good education, had served the usual term in the army, 
and had worked in his father's office. But desiring wider opportunities, 
he came to the United States in 1885, and upon reaching Wright county 
secured employment at Maple Lake with Herman Blume, an early settler, 
whose wife was Matilda Genbeck. On December 27, 1886, Mr. Bredt married
their daughter, Matilda Helen. They lived on the home place for several 
years and to them were born four children, Titus Herman, George Paul and 
Maria Matilda and Helen Agnes, twins. Titus Herman was born November 16, 
1887, married Dorothy Reynolds, and lives on his father's farm in Buffalo
