Lawrence was born May 4, 1932 to Frank and Clara (Duester) Brandenburger on the family farm near Silver Creek. He attended District 45 right by his house until the 8th grade. He then started farming with his father and brother until he enlisted with the United States Army. During his service, he was stationed in Germany before coming back to farm. On June 19, 1956, he married Marjorie Johnson at Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Krakow (rural Genoa). They made their home close to the family farm until they built on his grandparent’s home place in 2009. Lawrence was a lifelong farmer in the Silver Creek area. He enjoyed going to Colorado and traveling with Marjorie. He served three years on the Clarks Farmers Coop Board and was a lifetime member of the FFA. He loved to go to farm auctions and cattle and bull sales. He also loved to go hunting in the fall. He was very proud of his family farm of 100 years and received the Pioneer Award in 2018.
