HENRY SEABRANDT 
	Henry Seabrandt. Like most of those who find their way to the 
United States from the Fatherland,the subject of this article is a man of 
thrift and good substantial qualities. He resides on his generous estate of 
one-half section about one mile south of Blue Creek postoffice,and his 
skill in the art of agriculture as wrought out on his farm,is a good 
object lesson to any man. On march 23,1851,in Hanover,Germany,Henry 
Seabrandt was born to Herman and Margret (Gestraing) Seabrandt,also natives 
of the Fatherland. Eight years later the lad was left motherless,and he 
soon learned the ways of the world in hardships and the attempts to 
support himself. The summers were spent in herding cows and the winter in 
working for his board and attending school. In 1865 he came with his father 
to Cook county,Illinois. One brother,the only other living child of the 
family,came with them. Farm work occupied Henry until 1878 when he went to 
Minnesota and bought a farm. For a decade,he was numbered among the leading 
agriculturists of that state. He then came to Spokane and lived for five 
years. After that Mr.Seabrandt took a homestead where he now lives,which 
was augmented later by the purchase of another quater section. Good 
buildings and substantial improvements make the estate valuable and a 
desirable place to live.
   In 1878 occured the marriage of Miss Maggie,daughter of John and Lizzie
(Haunsnan) Atrops,natives of Germany,and the subject of this article. Four
children have came to bless the household:Lizzie,Fred,Herman and John. Mrs.
Seabrandt's parents came to Minnesota,where she was born in 1857. She has
eight brothers and sisters:Caroline,Annie,Jerry,Henry,Lena,Lizzie,Sebilla,
and John. Mr. Seabrandt is very active in the advancement of educational 
facilities and gives his time for service on the school board. He is a 
member of the W.W. and his wife of the circle. They both belong to the 
Lutheran church.
