CARL PETER BRUS
Carl Peter, son of Henry T. and Anna Eggers Brus, was born March 17, 1910, near Summit, South Dakota. In his infancy the family moved to a farm just north of Aspinwall, Iowa; later the family moved to a farm west of Manilla. Carl was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church, Manilla, Iowa.

On February 16, 1935 Carl was united in marriage with Marie Jahn. They started their life together on a farm northwest of Manilla; in 1942 they moved to a farm north of Aspinwall and lived there for 53 years.

Carl had been in failing health and moved to the Manilla Manor Nursing Home in February of this year. He died there on Monday evening, September 18, 1995, at the age of 85 years, 6 months, and I day.

He was preceded in death by his parents; five brothers: John, Henry, Edward, Hugo, and Melvin; and by two sisters in infancy: Elsie and Catherine.

Survivors include his wife, Marie, of Manning; two daughters: Beverly and her husband, Kenneth Graves, of Perry, and Bonnie and her husband, Alan Lorenzen, of Manilla; six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; one sister, Edna, and her husband, William Lohrman, of Manilla; and a sister-in-law, Elvera Brus, of Denison; as well as nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
