Bio
Son of LeBrunner, Paul Henry Paul H. Brunner, Grocer Here 27 Years, Succumbs Funeral services for Paul Henry Brunner, 67, a grocer here since 1932, were held Monday Morning at Hubbard Funeral Home and St. Michael's Church, with burial in the church cemetery. He died at 6:22 a. m. last Friday, Nov. 20, in Youens Hospital of a heart attack. He had not been feeling well for several days prior to that, and entered the hospital Tuesday afternoon. One of his sons, the Rev. James C. Brunner, presently doing advanced study in a Catholic university in Washington D.C., sang the Solemn Requiem Mass. The Rev. Eustace Hermes of Schulenburg was deacon and the Rev. Henry Hilscher of Boerne was sub-deacon. The Rev. Thomas Flanagan was master of ceremonies. Local veterans formed an honor guard. Pallbearers were Edgar Banse, John Heger, John Hajovsky, Carl Schroeder, E. J. Seifert and Joe Wick. Born June 29, 1892, at Rutersville, Fayette County, Mr. Brunner was the son of Leopold and Mary Baron Brunner. He lived at Rabb's Prairie and La Grange a number of years before coming to Weimar in 1932 as a partner with Melvin Dippel of La Grange in the Minimax Store. The store was located on Main Street first, then for several years at what is now the Western Auto corner, and in 1947 was moved into a new building, its present site, west of the City Hall. Later a third partner, Edgar Banse, was taken into the firm and the name was changed from Minimax to BB&D. Mr. Brunner was a World War I veteran, part of his service being with the AEF in the Meuse-Argonne area. He was a 40-year member of the American Legion, and a member of the Knights of Columbus.
