The Brandt Cemetery

April 22, 2009

It is a warm summer morning in Brandt and a high-stepping horse draws a battered two wheeled cart up through the dewy grasses to a low meadow. Black plumes bounce with his every step, black garlands drape a wooden casket. The horse tramps nervously, flicking his ears back and forth as if he knows the truth behind the rumors that several large rattlers had been seen lying out just east of the clay banks. A somber group of mourners tread dolefully behind…At the top of the footpath, they approach an overgrown field. Purple loosestrife and columbine can be seen in the distance, bobbing their heads above the timothy and wild oat. Mountain laurels, long past their bloom, dot the borders, keeping the wood at bay. The year is 1861 and it is a first committal to the new burying ground in Brandt….

This could have been the scenario played out with that first burial in the Brandt Cemetery, we will never know exactly who or when this happened because the original records were lost when an acid factory’s explosion in 1908 razed so much of the villages’ industries and businesses. The records – kept in a back portion of the nearby Presbyterian Church were lost while the church was saved. It wasn’t until the early 1960’s that a cemetery association was formed and an attempt was made to reproduce new records. The diligence of this organization and their various correspondences with the family/families of the departed gives us a more accurate account of the stones and the burials – but not all markers can be identified as some bear just a few words or initials. Several letters went unanswered, a number of relatives were never found.

Various stones rest at Brandt with inscriptions intact and legible- just as strong and crisp as the day they were inscribed. Others remain with some of carvings lost to time and weather – others are blank quarry stones that have been tipped with the weights of winters past. Several graves are there without an acknowledgement of any kind. It is the stones that are still legible that I have posted in my gallery, over 250 markers that are still decipherable. While a number of them may be missing parts of a name or a date, my sister, our New York cousin and I, were able to positively identify and map correctly all that I have posted. Using the secretary’s notes of the 1960’s and doing some rubbings, we were able to resurrect a good portion of these stones.

Perhaps one of your relatives lived in this modest little village or once worked at a Brandt factory, they may have been members of one of its churches. Perhaps you will find their stone still resting in this quaint old cemetery.

Abram Walker

April 9, 2009

Because Ianthus Walker doesn’t mention anything about his parents or siblings in all of his Civil War Pension Papers, I was intrigued when an Abram Walker gave a deposition on Ianthus’s behalf in an affidavit dated 1891. In the Commemorative Biographical Record by J. H. Beers, an extensive account of Abram Walker and his life is given – that he had lived in Brandt before his enlistments in the Civil War and then in Lanesboro after the war had ended. So, I didn’t know if it was mere coincidence that he and Ianthus shared the same last name or if they were indeed brothers or cousins. It has been something that I have been trying to find out now for the last few years….

Abram Walker was born in Sanford, NY in July of 1833, to William and Debbie (Monroe) Walker. CBR goes on to state that Abram was one of a family of thirteen children, (five of whom died in infancy) and it does list the remaining seven brothers and sisters but– Ianthus is not one of them. Because Abram’s father died when he was just a small boy, he was placed with a family in Deposit, NY (Delaware County). It was there that he learned to be a mason, and later, in 1856, he married Susan Finch. After the marriage, they settled in Brandt until 1861 when the Civil War broke out. Like Ianthus, Abram mustered into the army but served a longer term with two different companies.

In Abram Walker’s Civil War Pension Papers, there isn’t any reference to relatives at all. No children are mentioned in the papers – just one brief account by his wife on a Widow’s Pension Application that states “there aren’t any children under the age of 16 living in the household”. But in Beers’ Commemorative Record, it states that Abram and Susan had five children; three daughters and two sons but both sons drowned.

It seems probable that Abram and Ianthus Walker were related- they were both born in Sanford, NY just a few years apart. Ianthus lived in a household with a Thomas and Debbie Henderson. Both were married in January of 1856 – by the same minister. Familiar signatures appear on affidavits for Abram, giving the same testimonies as for Ianthus. Being that Brandt and Lanesboro were such little towns with only a few miles apart, it seems likely that they certainly knew each other and were possibly well acquainted.

Four years of soldiering took its toll on Abram Walker and his family – after his return from the Civil War, he was plagued with ill health and unable to keep steady work. Through his pension papers that I have posted in the gallery, you can read and appreciate this life story of another small family from Harmony Township…

The Town of Brandt, PA

April 4, 2009

With just a small paragraph written on the back of an early 1900’s postcard of Brandt, I wonder if the printer, C. D. Burton, had any idea of how prophetic his brief description of this little village really was. With his use of the word “vicissitudes” – the unpredictable changes in life – Brandt and its populace did indeed experience the many ups and downs of life in this small but unique Pennsylvanian town.

From newspaper articles gathered from the Historical Society in Montrose, PA, I have arranged several events in the order that they occurred to portray the rise, fall and the eventual demise of much of the small businesses and industries that once flourished.

The Town of Brandt, PA – Brandt Falls on Hard Times

April 4, 2009

Fire at Brandt

Sept. 27 – Fire which did damage in the village of Brandt, started as fires in the forests surrounding the village, and those in turn were threatening this evening to destroy the town. The fire started in the Brandt Chemical company’s plant. It was started by an explosion of acids being mixed by an employee of the company. A bucket brigade was soon formed and the villagers did their best to subdue the flames. In spite of their efforts the entire plant of the chemical company, the large warehouse of the company, a nearby blacksmith shop and the residence of Samuel Paugh were consumed. The sheds of the Presbyterian church were on fire, but the villagers succeeded in extinguishing them so as to save the church. Flying sparks set fire to the nearby woods, and the flames spread rapidly there, so as to surround the town and threaten it with destruction. Several other explosions occurred as the flames of the chemical plant reached the stored acids, with the first explosion, Foreman William Watkins, was blown through a window and thrown for some distance.
