Never married
Obituary: After learning of Fred Brunner's improvement at the Hempstead hospital Monday, it was a great shock to his friends and relatives to hear that he passed away Monday night at 10 o'clock after suffering several hemorrhages of the bowels. He had been suffering with typhoid fever for three weeks and a recovery was never thought to be impossible. When he took sick three weeks ago his friends never thought for a moment he was on his death bed.
His death is pathetic in the extreme, for he was but in the prime of life and seemingly had the best part of it before him. He would have been 24 years old the 17th of Aug. A good, straightforward boy, he was a leader among his friends and extremely popular. The news of his death was carried from lip to lip Tuesday morning and met everyone as inconceivable.
Fred Brunner was a young man of wide acquaintance in Portsmouth and the legion of friends unite in expressing their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved parents, sisters and brothers. Before his death he was an employee of the Norfolk & Western car shops. A few months ago, he held the position of pressman in the Blade's Printing Co.'s plant. He was a young man of whom it can be said, that he never had a harsh word for anyone, and never swerved from the right. He was a regular attendant at the Second Presbyterian church.
He leaves his parents, Mr & Mrs Jacob Brunner, two brothers, Gus and Ed, and three sisters, Mrs George Schirrmann, Mrs John Herman and Mary Brunner.
Fred Brunner was a prominent member of the local machinists' union and the Tribe of Ben Hur. The two orders will in all probability attend the funeral in a body. No arrangements for the funeral have been made.
