James Brandt Dead

After a lingering illness and  months  of  feeble  health  James  Brandt
passed away at his home five miles south of  Cassville  Sunday  morning,
Nov. 14, 1909, aged 78 years.

James Brandt was born in Ohio in 1831. He came to this county  in  1855.
The next year he went to Andrew county, Mo., were he  lived  two  years.
Returning to Barry county, he located south of town in the same vicinity
where he died. He was thus one of the  county's  old  residents,  having
lived here for more than half a century.

In 1850 he was married to Caroline Pyburn. This union was  blessed  with
nine children, eight of whom are living. The are: Mrs.  Sallie  Maxwell;
Miss Izzie Brandt; Mrs.  Fannie  Cox;  Will,  Amon  and  George  all  of
Cassville; Mrs. Missouri James and Joane Phelps of Oklahoma. Mrs. Brandt
preceded her husband into the great unknown by a space  of  only  a  few
months.

In the death of Mr. Brandt the county loses another of its citizens  who
settled within her borders in ante-bellum days and upon whom was a share
of the burden of making out of a  backwoods  section  one  of  the  best
counties in the state. The large crowd  at  the  funeral  was  the  best
testimonial of his worth as a citizen and as a neighbor

His remains were laid  in  their  last  resting  place  in  the  Corinth
Cemetery Sunday afternoon with the honors of the Masonic order of  which
he was member.
