Herman Ernest Brunscheen was born October 3. 1890 in Leese, Germany, the son of Frederick and Louise Brunscheen. His Christian parents presented; him for the blessings of Holy Baptism while he was an infant, and, as he grew in years saw to his instruction in the Christian faith. He renewed his baptismal vows in the rite of Confirmation as a youth in the Lutheran Church of him home land.
The deceased came to America at the age of 16. This venture was quite an undertaking for him in as much as he had no relatives here, but only a few friends in the Stanwood vicinity. He was welcomed by these friends and at once procured employment as a farm helper. He was interested in tilling the soil and particularly in the care and feeding of livestock. By applying diligently to his chosen profession he became an excellent judge of quality livestock.
On January 18, 1912 he was united in marriage with Miss Alma Hintz. Following the marriage they farmed together near Mechanicsville and moved to the Wyoming community in 1917 to continue farming. The union was blessed with six children, all of whom survive. Death disrupted the family life on November 5, 1923 when God summoned the beloved wife and mother in death. Then for a period of about five years Mr. Brunscheen assumed the responsibilities of double parenthood. In 1933 he opened his home to his widowed sister-in-law, Mrs. Frieda Brunscheen together with her three children and this arrangement has prevailed to this day.
In 1940 the deceased retired to Wyoming from the farm home. However, this retirement did not mean that he would live in idleness; He continued his great interest in his farming activity.
Mr. Brunscheen was a lifelong Lutheran. Upon his arrival in America he affiliated with the Stanwood Lutheran Church and; when he and his family moved to the Wyoming community he transferred his membership to the local congregation. During the 28 years of his membership in Wyoming he proved a valuable asset to the congregation. He was faithful in his church attendance at all times and served the congregation very ably as a member of the Board. He currently served as Chairman of the Building Committee which position he held from the very beginning of the organization and planning for the new church structure. He was always willing to lend a helping hand whenever his church called for help.
In the community affairs he also took an active part, serving as school director in the rural area and later as a member of the Board of Education in Wyoming. As town councilman he served efficiently for some time.
The deceased was a family man and loved nothing more than to have his family, one and all, rally about him. He extended friendly aid and hospitality to everyone in his large circle of acquaintances. He had always been, energetic and active but in recent years he became handicapped by a plaguing heart condition. On July 4th he suffered a stroke which resulted in partial paralysis and which proved to be an advance warning of future fatality. He seemed to be on his way to recovery when death came swift and suddenly to him in his home about 8:45 a.m. August 18th.
He leaves to mourn his sudden passing six children: Mrs. Ezra (Leona) Wendt; Oliver, Everett, Herman Jr, Donald and Kenneth together with 17 grandchildren, one brother, henry Brunscheen of Wyoming, 3 sister, Mrs. August Keitel, Mrs. Gerhardt Wenndt and Mrs. Minnie Schnipkoweit in Germany. Many other relatives.
