Brunkenhoefer, 70, who died at his home here Tuesday noon after a long illness, have been set for 3:30 p.m. today (Thursday) at Hubbard Funeral Home. Rev. F. H. Horak Jr., pastor of Evangelical and Reformed Church, of which Mr. Brunkenhoefer was a member, will officiate. Burial will be in Masonic Cemetery. Mr. Brunkenhoefer suffered a heart attack six years ago, forcing his retirement as manager of he meat department at Piggly Wiggly grocery. He made a good recovery and had been able to indulge in several small business ventures since then, including a cottonseed agency, but about two months ago he became seriously ill again and his health failed rapidly. Born in the Content community Sept. 8, 1886, he was the son of Frederich and Marguerite Brunkenhoefer. He married Miss Barbara Barton here Feb. 12, 1907. For several years he was in the grocery business, until he sold his grocery to W. H. Hollien in 1931. After that he was a butcher in Paul Lichey's market here and later worked in an Eagle Lake grocery, taking a bus to and from work. His last job was the one with Piggly Wiggly. He was a member of the Weimar Fire Department for a number of years and also played in the old Weimar Brass Band of many years ago. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Barbara Brunkenhoefer of Weimar; one daughter, Mrs. Margaret Wind of Weimar; a granddaughter, Mrs. Gaylen (Barbara) Kahlden of Weimar; a sister, Mrs. Albert (Helen) Klesel of Corpus Christi, and a brother Eric Brunkenhoefer of Brawley, California. A son, Edwin, died in 1953; four brothers, Henry, Fred, John and Emil, also preceded him in death. Weimar Mercury, June 14, 1957, page 1
