"Death of Mrs. Braucher.

Mrs. Isaac Braucher died Sunday evening at the residence of her son Isaac Braucher, Jr., who lives just east of the city.  Mrs. Braucher was 87 years old and her death is due to her advanced age.

The funeral occurred Tuesday at the Independence M. E. church at 2 p.m., Rev. Wilson preaching the funeral sermon.

Mrs. Braucher was one of the early settlers, who came to this country in 1825.  There were only three houses in Defiance when she came here, and she resided for many years in a house which stood almost under the old apple tree famed in history.

Mrs. Braucher was the mother of eight children, only two of whom are living, Isaac and Mrs. Richoxls, of Napoleon.  The deceased had many friends in this section and was familiarly called Grandma Braucher by all who knew her."


- Her husband, Isaac Earl Braucher (1892 - 1878)
