Bruhn Family from South Dakota

k79lawrence — 2011-12-22 06:57:35Z

Hello,
I am looking for information on the family of Paul Henry Bruhn and his wife Dora (Beck) Bruhn. They lived in Hillsview, McPherson County, South Dakota. Four children were born of this marriage:
Amelia Bruhn Born: August 1887
Henry Bruhn Born: January 1, 1889
Paul Bruhn Born: April 28, 1890
Edwin Walter Bruhn Born: February 17, 1895
Not sure if Dorothy aka Dora divorced Paul Henry Bruhn or he died, but about 1907 she marred Charles A. Alther,(his second marriage, his first wife was Sophia Orth). The family moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am able to trace Charles and Dora Alther up to 1930 living in Minneapolis.
I am wondering if anyone out there might know where Charles A. Alther and his wife Dora are buried and when they died?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you, Keith Lawrence

I too have done extensive research on Peter Frederick Bruhn but have nothing for his wife Maria. I do not have any info for Peter's parents or his siblings, only the children of Peter and Maria. My great Grandfather Johann was a brother to Hans and Claus. If would be glad to share any information I have with you and exchange what we can if you are interested.

I am a descendent of Peter Frederick Bruhn and Maria Margaretha Neimann but through the brother of Claus Peter named Hans Frederick Bruhn. Hans' son, Peter Frederick Bruhn (named for his grandfather) is my great-grandfather. Our family has done quite a bit of work on this line but know nothing of Maria Margaretha Neimann's family. This is five years after your original post but I guess it is worth a try.

jojensagain — 2011-05-08 02:58:55Z

Hi,
Saw your post and checked the parish records for Sæby (Hjorring, Denmark) and found the birth record for Marie Bruhn, born July 13, 1887 to parents Anders Christian Bruhn and Maren Katherine Moller (age 39)

I looked for that family in the 1890 Danish census and found:
Anders Chr Pedersen Bruhn 46 Husfader
Maren Kathrine Bruhn 42 Husmoder
Rechardt Chr Bruhn 19 Søn
Julliete Christine Bruhn 14 Datter
Robert Bruhn 11 Søn
Halfdan Bruhn 9 Søn
Evald Bruhn 5 Søn
Marie Bruhn 2 Datter

I don't see Carl Christian on the census, but perhaps he was born after 1890? Or if he was over 14 in 1890 he would likely have been living in another household (learning a trade) If you have his birth year, let me know and I'll look for him in the Sæby parish records.

Melanie,

Good luck.

Hello Melanie.

It is very possible that there is a connection. Do you have birth and death dates for the individuals that you list? The "Jurgen Bruhn (gr-father)" that you list could be my wife's 3rd great-grandfather. My wife's 2nd great-grandmother, Maren Rebecka Bruhn was the first daughter born to Jørgen Bruhn. We don't know his parent's information, but perhaps his mother was the Maren Rebecka Bargum that you list and he named his first daughter after his mother.

I am working with some corporation certificates for the Palmer School of Chiropractic from 1921. One of the names that showed up that I am unfamiliar with is H. W. Bruhn. It would make sense that this would be Henry [Henery], the banker. If you've learned anything about Henry in the past 10 years that would confirm this, I would love to hear about it.

Elmer R. Bruhn

Funeral services today for Elmer Bruhn

Funeral services for Elmer R. Bruhn, 93, will be held at the Pioneer Presbyterian Church in Winters today (Thursday) at 11 a.m. Rev. Susan Fleenor and Rev. John Reimers will officiate.

Survivors include his wife, Mabel F. Bruhn, of the family home in Winters; three children, Meredith F. Bruhn of Winters, Reva E. Stafford and E. Gordon Bruhn, both of Sacramento; two brothers, Vernon Bruhn of Winters and Clyde Bruhn of Sacramento; one sister, Mrs. Beryl Harrington of Winters; first grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

The funeral will take place on the couple's 65th wedding anniversary.

Interment will take place at the Winters Cemetery following the services. Arrangements are under the direction of Smith's Colonial Chapel.

Mr. Bruhn was born near Winters in the Buckeye District on May 9, 1891. He worked in the Monticello Valley, Napa County, as a young man driving the old "schooner" mule teams and wagons which hauled freight, grain and livestock from Monticello to Napa and Winters.

He married his wife of almost 65 years, Mabel Frances Van Amber of Monticello January 24, 1920. Their wedding was held at Mabel's sister's (Alice Morlan) and her husband's home on East Main Street in Winters. They made their first home in Davis. Later they moved to Monticello and in 1927 to 109 Baker Street where they lived continuously since.

Elmer began his own plumbing business in 1936 on Railroad Avenue where the old Buckhorn Dining Room was located. In 1939 he moved to the former Plymouth showroom on Railroad Avenue. In 1951 he purchased property at 820 Railroad Avenue and built a new building. Later he took his son, Gordon, in as a partner and continued the plumbing business and eventually the pump and water systems. In November 1960, Elmer R. Bruhn & Son became wholesalers for Myers Pumps.

Elmer continued to go to the office every day until January 11 of this year when he became too ill to continue. He was admitted to Sutter Davis Hospital on January 19 and died quietly in his sleep on January 21.

I'm not sure if my ggrandfather went to Ausralia, but the birthdates are similar.

Is that branch of the family from Westerhever?

There we many Bruhns and find that they are not all related. Here is the link to our family tree on Ancestry. Please feel free to take a look at it and see if it hits home with your family.

See my other posting today.

This name sounds familiar to me. I'd have to check my information. If you would like to share, let me know. I have met several relatives already doing this!

We are probably related. Sorry for the long delay in responding :-). Schlesvig-Holstein is a small area, and there were a lot of small, scattered villages at the time. Most Bruhns were related. If you have more info, let me know. Where is the village located? I can share what I have....

Hi Stephan, I was born Carol Bruhn from rural Nebraska. Our great grandfather came from that area of Prussia in 1910. Don't know if we are related or not. His father was named Peter and mother Marie Nieman. Any links that you know of? We cannot find any trace of ancestors further back than that. We know no one in Germany to help. Do you have contact with German relatives? Thank You, perhaps we are distant cousins?

I can't help you substantively, but I can tell you that when August Bruhn who came from Germany in the late 1860's married Marie Krohne, he gave his name as Augustus Brown. You can look it up in the Indiana marriages from 1850 forward on Ancestry.com. As far as I know he never used Brown again, but he clearly was trying to Anglicize his name in 1870. Good luck on looking.
