BRAMHALL.—Mrs. Elizabeth Voltz Bramhall was born April 19, 1841, in Alsace-Lorraine, and died at Madison, Wis., March 24, 1914. In 1847 her family sailed for the States and settled in New York. The same year both her parents died, but a kind aunt made a home for the orphan and reared her. The deceased was married to E. H. Bramhall Sept. 2, 1862, and immediately afterward her husband responded to the call of his country during the Civil War. He returned maimed for life, having lost his right arm. Forty years ago our sister accepted present truth through reading our literature. For a number of years she thought she was the only Sabbath keeper in the city of Milwaukee, Wis., but later found a sister who had passed through the 1844 movement. These two sisters formed the nucleus of the now flourishing Milwaukee Seventh-day Adventist Church. Sister Bramhall was devoted to her family and the cause of God. The funeral services were conducted by the writer.
