Married Susanna Margaretha Ochs in 1876 in Russia.
Obituary:
John Henry Brack was born in Schoenfeld, Russia, as the son of John and Justina Brack. Baptized in the Lutheran church he received the usual instruction of his church and was confirmed in Rosenthal in 1871.
In the spring of 1876 he was united in holy wedlock to Miss Susanna Margaret Ochs. To this union twelve children were born; three of them died in infancy, nine surviving their father. In the fall of 1876 the deceased with his wife and his parents and other family members emigrated to America. They arrived here on our shores in the month of October and settled near Pawnee Rock, KS. From here they moved to a farm, belonging to their cousin, Mr. Peter Brack, 2 1/2 miles north and 1/2 miles west of Otis.
In 1878 the parents of our late friend took up a homestead near Albert, and in 1879 he also took for himself a homestead three miles north of Otis. Here the family worked for the next decard; one boy and another and one girl after another left the home farm to build their own homes. With the youngest son the parents lived for some years till they decided to move to town. They bought a home in the south end of Otis and here our late brother had to go through the last sad struggles. His poor health forced him to seek for good ailment and he tried many physicians, but though he got the best care by his faithful wife and all the children who stayed with the parents over night, his time was set and on the evening of March 23rd he passed away without great pain. He brought his age to 66 years, 1 month and 23 days.
He leaves to mourn his death, his true wife; two brothers, Peter, of Otis and John of Rozell; one sister, Mrs. Miller, of Sterling, Colo.; four sons, H. H., P. P., Phillip, and Manue(l), all in our vicinity; also five daughters, Mrs. Elisabeth Rodie, Mrs. Anna Ochs, Mrs. Mary Schlegel, Mrs. Kate Brack, Mrs. Kate Elisabeth Menke and very many near relatives and a host of friends.
The funeral was held from the Lutheran church on Sunday afternoon at 3:30. A very large crowd filled the building to its utmost capacity. The sermon preached on this occasion was based upon the word in St. John (missing chapter): 19-30. The choir of the congregation same two impressive cantatas.
Interment was made in the Lutheran cemetery west of town. May his body rest in peace and the eternal home by his reward.
