Born on a farm near the Livingston Co. line, one of 11 children of John and Magdalena Gerken Brandt, he married Mary Helen Bradshaw on June 22, 1913 in Grinnel, IA. They had 6 children and 14 grandchildren when they celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary in 1963.
They farmed in Hancock Co. near La Harpe, IL and later retired to Hazelton, IA where Henry was living when he died.
Youngest child, Charles Dean Brandt born Mary 23, 1929 died Jan 7,2010 in AZ. We do not know his cemetery.
Henry Brandt did not have a middle name just the letter L.
Henry added the L in family Bible when he was young..
Henry asked his mother Magdalena Gerken Brandt if he could add the letter L.
Leonard is what he told people, but L is what was always listed in his signature.
Leonard is no where to be found, only L.
Henry Brandt son Henry Junior Brandt was to be a Henry L. Jr. and it got messed up.
Thanks for all the other info on Gerken and Helmers side with photos.
Side note Henry L Brandt when he visited his Grandmother was 8 got a fancy tooth pick holder.
Henry's grandmother was Catherina Margaret “Ada” Helmers Gerken in Sibley Illinois.
