Ingri Brodine (29944642)

Suggested edit: MRS. HENRY BRODINE CALLED
After an illness of more than a year, during the last two months of which she was in a serious condition, Mrs. Henry Brodine of this city died last Saturday morning. As was stated in the Leader last week all of her children had been notified of the seriousness of her illness, and those living at a distance arrived here a few days before the final summons came. Because it seems adequate for the rest of this article we are here using the obituary given us by Rev. Smith, pastor of the Christian church.

Obituary
Ingri Christina Carlson was born in Christianstadt, Sweden, January 2nd, 1867, and died at her home in
Sargent, Nebraska, July 24th, 1926, aged 59 years, 6 months and 22 days. She spent her childhood in Sweden where in 1886 she was married to Henry S. Brodine, and remained in Sweden until after the birth of her son Charles. In the year 1888 she, with her husband and son, came to America, the land of promise. They made their way directly to Custer county, Nebr., and settled south of Sargent in Dry Valley about one-half mile south of the Lone tree corner. The family lived in this vicinity for eleven years, and here all her children were born except the son brought from across the sea. In 1899 Mr. Brodine purchased the right to make homestead filing on the land just south of Sargent, on the land now known as the Brodine farm, and here they made their home until in 1919 when they moved to Sargent where they have since lived in the
home where Mrs. Brodine departed this life Iast Saturday. She was the mother of nine children, three of which died in infancy, and Alma (Mrs. Frank Powers), died in 1918 during the terrible "flu" epidemic of that year. Of the children three remain and were with her at the time of her death, Charles of Sargent, Nebr., Oscar of Denver, Colo., Mrs. Clara Debusk of Sargent, Mrs. Vina Hill of Deaver, Wyoming, and Harry of Edgerton, Wyoming .

Sister Brodine was baptized into the Church of God, thirty-two years ago and has since remained adherent to the beliefs and teachings of that brotherhood, but since moving to Sargent she has been an attendant upon the services of the Methodist church as there was no organization of her belief in Sargent. This obituary tells but little, and is indeed an abbreviated history of the life of this woman who was a an actual pioneer in the development of this wonderful community that had to be carved out of the raw prairie, without a railroad at hand or any of those conveniences which are the part of the older countries. Vision with me if you can, this mother, unable to speak English and without knowledge of American ways or conditions, in surroundings where the people and their language were all strange to her. Then add to that the terribly hard times of the late 80's and the early 90's, and we can realize something of the hardship and the sacrifice she had to make in order to shield and rear her family. She leaves to mourn her loss, the husband of her youth, the five children, sixteen grandchildren, four sisters and one brother, with many other relatives, and the many many friends who have known her thru the years and loved her because of her great labor and devotion to home and family.

The funeral services were held in the Methodist church of Sargent, with Rev. Long, pastor of that church officiating, and Rev. Smith of the Christian church assisting. The sermon by Mr. Long was a very strong
piece of reasoning and brought to those present a strong challenge for the proper attitude toward, and the
right use of the time allowed to us here. The singing was furnished by Mrs. Roy Hicks, Mrs. Bert Amos, Mr. Guy Livermore and Mr. Kenneth Crownover. while Miss Irma Swanson presided at the piano. The floral offerings were most beautiful and profuse and were unusual in that most of them were grown in Sargent and vicinity. The attendance was large, packing the church to full capacity. This we feel was a great tribute of respect to the departed, and showed the high esteem of her old neighbors and friends. Interment was made in the Sargent cemetery.
