Last Thursday was Grandma
Brammer's birthday. She was 76
years old and her friends planned .
surprise on her. About 10 O'Clock
they began to come in with we'll
filled baskets of good things to eat,
and at 1 o'clock the table fairly
groaned under it's burden when they
invited Grandma out to help them
partake of the good things they had
brought. Those present were Mar
ion Brammer and family, Allen
Pence and family, Mrs. George Fol
and and daughter, Mrs. Samuel Fol-
and, Henry Jimmerson and family,
Mrs. Emma Shoemaker, W. w.
Briner and wife, Mrs. Alva Poland,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Acton, Mrs. Isaac
Poland and daughter, Nina, Mrs.
Lavina Immersion, Mrs. Arthur
Evans and son Gerald, Mrs. Charles
Poland, H. l.. Brammer and family,
and Mrs. William Munyon. Grand
ma Brammer is one of the old pion-
GERS of Decatur county. She came
to Iowa in 1854 with her husband,
F. M. Brammer, who died five years
ago. They came to this country
when it was nothing but wilder
ness, just a few log huts scattered
over the country, and the indians
were still trying to hold possession,
and run the pale faces away, but
they stayed with their land and made
themselves a good home and raised
their family. Most of her neighbors
have been born since she came here,
and many have passed away who
were here when she came. We all
wish Grandma many more happy
birthdays. 1t is needless to say that
all present enjoyed themselves, for
to know Grandma is to love her.
