From that time to the close of his life, he was depergent upon his family to minister to him. He was preceded in death by two brothers, Silas P. and George L. Brand, and by three sisters, Lovâ€" ina, Mrs. Sarah Wessling, and Mrs. Mary Wessling. Two, brothers reâ€" main, E. W. Brand of Highland Park and J. J. Brand of St. Petersâ€" burg, Fla... ; ? 1‘ Mr. ‘Brand was a rather Xiet.‘ modest type of man. > Although he never held public office in: the comâ€" munity, yet he was vitally interestâ€" ed in all that was going on in the city. It was his privilege to see Highland Park grow from a mere village to that of its present sigte.â€" On June 24, 1897, Mr. Brand was . united in e with ‘Clara Ritter of Milwaukee, Wis. They established their home in ithk comâ€" munity and shared with each other , & very ‘interesting and happy life. * One daughter, Miss Salo was * born to them. Mr. Brand was very fond of his loved ones and. was exâ€" tremely appreciative of their comâ€" panionship, of their love afidm tion, especially of the ten care which they ministered duri?g his long illness. $ t ' He was a very great lovt: of "good music. Some one said that he would rather listen to good Ofiusic than participate in a meal; . Much of his interest in this field entered in the music of his church. (As ia young man he beécame the brganist in the church, which responsibility he shared with Mrs..G. L. Brand for many years. He was vitally inâ€" terested ih organizing choral groups within the church and was their leader for a long period. He also directed the church orchestra, which did good work ‘under his direction. In 1919 he organized what became known as the Brand Orchestra. This group met at his home Tu/ evenings up to the time of h: illâ€" ness. "It was his request that. they: come in and play for him a number: of times during the past few years, Thus it was very fitting thm played: at a brief memorial in the home on Tuesday evening of this week. About two years .&o he‘ asked that he might be taken to theâ€" Bethany Church in his wheel chair, where he had his daughter play a sacred concert for him on the organ. Mr. Brand was always intérested in the finer things of life.: As a child he regularly attended the wor; ship services of the church, When but. a lad of 10 years of age he ded: icated his life to Christ and t:ept«'p ed the Christian faith. and united with the North Northfield Evangelâ€" ical Church. This was the beg‘jnnifig of. a beautiful Christian career, which gave to him the poise and dignity of a,very useful life. As a young man, coming to Highland: Park, he transferred his ‘ church‘ membership to the Bethany Evanâ€" gelical Church, where heé has mainâ€"‘ tained his relationship to the close of his life. His church : very early recognized his ability of leadership and enlisted his services as a Sunâ€" day school teacher while yet a very young man. In addition to this he was elected as secretary and later as the superintendent of the Sunâ€" day school and for many years he was one of the trustees of the conâ€" gregation. â€" Most of these posi| ionfl‘ were filled by him for a long riod'L of time. â€" § | Orson Brand Dies Ridge School Rummage Sale PAGE FOUR (Continued from Page After Long Hiness ) ‘The bus will leave the Y.W,CA. promptly at 1:30 o‘clock and return about 11 o‘clock. k |_While many may have seen China Town, for ‘those who‘ have no6 had this opportuhity, the tour will _ make a stop..
