He was united in marriage March 2, 1898 to Miss Minnie Meier at the Bell Creek church at Vacoma. No children were born to this union although at the age of seven, a niece, Elaine Kott entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Brandert and has resided with them since that time. Survivors are his wife, his father, Herman Brandert, Sr; one brother, Herm Brandert, Hooper, Nebraska; and one sister Mrs. F.H. Hagerbaumer, Hooper, besides his niece, Elaine Kott. The mother of the deceased prededed him in death on October, 1905.
