EVERETT BRAMMER
AUGUST 11, 1949
Everett Brammer, 44, was found dead in a government patrol automobile at the Wilmington munitions plant Saturday (Aug.6) morning.
Mr. Brammer had been a guard at the government munitions plant near Wilmington since 1941. He went on duty at 1 o'clock in the morning, exchanged his car for a government radio equipped car and part of his duties was to patrol the grounds. He was found dead shortly after six o'clock Saturday morning when he failed to open the gates for workers to enter the grounds. He was slumped over the steering wheel dead, with the engine of the car running. He had reported at 5:30 so could not have been dead long when found. The windows and ventilator of the car were open and an autopsy failed to reveal any monoxide gas. The heart was somewhat enlarged and death was attributed to a heart attack.
He was the youngest enlistee in World War I in Livingston County and possible in the state. He went to Pontiac in the fall of 1917 when he was not quite 14 years old and enlisted in the national guard. They were soon sent to Texas for seasoning and then sent overseas to fight the Germans. He participated in a a number of battles, came out whole and was discharged in the spring of 1919. He reenlisted for one year and was sent back as a part of the troops of occupation.
From then until 1941 he was a resident of Chatsworth and served on the police force acceptably for some time, giving up the job to take the one at Wilmington. Two of the four daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Brammer were born in Chatsworth and the two younger at Wilmington.
The body was brought to the Hanson-Watson funeral home in Chatsworth, where it remained until Tuesday afternoon when services were held in the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. H. R. Halfyard, of Cisco. Burial was in the Chatsworth cemetery where his parents and other relatives are buried. The local American Legion post conducted military services at the grave.
He was born March 23, 1905, at Chatsworth, a son of Henry and Dora Brammer. He married Miss Gertrude Miller in Watseka and they lived in Chatsworth until 1941, when they moved to Wilmington. To friends he was familiarly know as "Pete".
Surviving are his wife, four daughters, Dorothy, Audrey, Kathryn and Carol, all at home; Elmer, Dupree, South Dakota; James, Spirit River, Alberta, Canada; Lonnie, Sioux City, Iowa; three sisters, Mrs. Austin Childers, Proctorville, contributor Mary Runyon- HanshewOhio; Mrs. James Makinson, Forrest; Mrs. Frank Pemberton, Bloomington, Ind.
