A large number of Dallas citizens will go to Duncanville today to attend

Mrs. Brandenburg was born in Indiana eighty-three years ago and came to Dallas
County in 1847. Here she met John Brandenburg, and they were married in 1849.
Thirteen children came to the union, six daughters and five sons are now
living. Her husband died in 1874.

Mrs. Brandenburg is also survived by a large number of grand children and
several great grandchildren. Up to the last she maintained her courage and her
mind was clear. She had been ill for several months and in the last few weeks
an acute stomach trouble gradually brought her condition lower.
