Terrance Brazil Passed Away at His Home in Morton-- Funeral Saturday from St. John's Church
------------------------------
One of the best known and respected pioneers of Renville County was laid to rest in Old St. Patrick's cemetery last Saturday when the remains of Terrence Brazil was consigned to Mother Earth. The funeral was held from St. John's Catholic church, of which he had long been a member and a large number of old friends turned out to pay their respects to the memory of the good man
Terrance Brazil was a resident of this county for about 57 years. Coming here with his parents, when a young boy and settling on a farm some three miles east of Morton, he experienced the trials and hardships of the pioneer and acquired a practical education in the school of Hard Knox.
The Brazil home, in Birch Cooley, was a well known domicile. Saturated on the old government trail between Fort Ridgely and Beaver Falls. It served as a haven of rest for many a traveler in early days. The elder Mr. Brazil, father of the deceased, was known for his hospitality, his Irish wit, and his good sportsmanship and the son inherited these qualities which, combined with principles of honesty, fidelity and reliability, made him a man of outstanding virtue.
He was a man of unassuming manner, quiet and reserved, but he had a character of nobility and his word was as good as a bond. His death will be mourned by all his old associates as well as by the family loved ones and his passing from the association of pioneers is regretted.
Mr. Brazil was married about a half century ago to Ella Casey, also of Birch Cooley, and to this union six children were born, five of whom, with the mother, survive him. Their home for many years was on a farm adjoining the parental home, but some years ago the couple, with the younger children moved town, turning the farm over to one of the older sons. The surviving children are four sons and one daughter, namel: Michael and Joseph of Birch Cooley, John of Montevido, and William and Kate who at home with their mother in Morton.
