Pearl, age 12 and brother Albert, age 14
Notice the differing spelling that the Wessington Times (SD) uses for this family? I have in my possession the article describing Albert's father, Henry's death. I believe I've already included it in my blogsite, though I'm not able to find it at the moment. The below obituary might have been written in Chicago and sent to Wessington Times, with the Times adding the last paragraph. Notice the lack of SD after Redfield & Huron. I have no information of Albert's descendents after his death. Note to self: Find the article concerning Henry Brachvogel's death and include it in this Blogsite."Albert Brachvogel passed away Nov. 10, 1973 in a Chicago hospital, following a heart attack. Services were held Wed., Nov. 14 with Rev. C. Melone officiating.
Mr. Brachvogel was born April 30, 1905 near Wessington to Henry and Mary (Mary Ann Wilson) Brachvogel. He served with the Air Force in the Mediterranean area in WWII. He married Helen Lamb in Chicago, June 9, 1945. To this union 3 children were born.
