Thanks to Find a Grave contributor, Christina Kelley Sedberry, for providing this obituary:
KARL L. BRACKETT, 74, formerly of Minneapolis, died Thursday in San Francisco. Calif., where he had lived more than 40 years.
He was the youngest of eight children seven boys and one girl of George A. Brackett, the city's second mayor and civic leader. George A. Brackett field at Thirty-sixth avenue S. and Twenty-eighth street and Brackett's Point on Lake Minnetonka bear the family name.
Mr. Brackett, an insurance man, gained considerable note as an amateur photographer. He attended old Central high school and married Kate Buchanan of Minneapolis. They came back frequently to visit their daughter, Mrs. Dana Nicholson, 1967 Sheridan Avenue S.
Survivors besides Mrs. Nicholson and the wife are one other daughter, Mrs. Jane Brackett, San Francisco, and one grandson, Steven Nicholson, Minneapolis.
Following services today in San Francisco, ashes will be brought to Minneapolis for burial in Lakewood cemetery.

Funeral home records in San Francisco, California indicate a dual or confusing situation: Closed Casket, and casket number provided; hearse and possibly a limo rented; Shows interment at Woodlawn Cemetery, but also that the body (all or part?) was cremated and shipped. Obituary or death notice planned to be published in the Oakland Tribune (Oakland, California). According to the plot information (on findagrave) for the Lakewood Cemetery here in Minneapolis, he has what seems to be a Niche (in a chapel or building?) rather than a burial plot, even though his name and dates are (also?) on a stone that has his wife Kate's information on it. If she was buried, then he is at least memorialized on the stone. She died approximately 20 years after he did and may have wanted at least his name on the simple concrete-type stone.
