John Riley Bruner was born in 1864 in Exira Iowa. He died in 1941 in Madison Wisconsin. It is not known why his tombstone has the wrong birth date and wrong death date. Cemetery records indicate there is a Mrs. John Bruner buried in the same location. I do not believe that is true because I have accounted for all five of his wives. I have been told that the cemetery records are not good.

AGED RESIDENT PASSES AWAY
John R. Bruner, aged 80, a resident of this community for the past 37 years, died at a Madison hospital on Wednesday, Sept. 3 [1941].

Mr. Bruner had been in failing health for a number of years and was taken to Lakeside hospital at Rice Lake when he became seriously ill several weeks ago. He was later taken to the Madison hospital where he passed away.

Funeral services were held from the Methodist Episcopal church, Sunday, Sept. 7, the Rev. Merrill R. Philpott officiating. Interment was made in the Spooner cemetery.

He is survived by his wife and the following sons and daughters: Mrs. Ira Swartz, Estherville, Iowa; Elmer Bruner, Spooner; Edward Bruner, Glenn Bruner, both of Amery; Mrs. W. Ballinger, Anselma, Nebraska; Mrs. Victor Gallant, Minneapolis, Minn.; Mrs. Floyd Johnson, Mrs. Otto Arntzon, both of St. Paul and Mrs Henry carlson of Amery.

Four children preceeed their father in death.

Pall bearers were: E. O. Rick, Jake Laukman, Willard Quick, Carl Olson, D.D. Hall, and William Bronkema.

Our sincerest sympathies are extended to the bereaved. (Spooner Advocate, Spooner, WI, September 11, 1941)
