Martha Brandt was born October 1, 1901 at Spencer, and shortly thereafter moved to the Withee community (Clark Co., Wis.) with her parents. She attended the Withee School system, and after graduating attended Bushey Business College at Appleton. For many years she was employed at De LaSalle High School in Chicago, until her retirement in 1964. Since that time she has made her winter home with her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Niemi Sr. at Lake Worth, Florida, and in the summer months visited her niece, Mrs. Joyce Abel at Kaukauna.

Her passing is mourned by two brothers, Fred and Joe of Withee; one sister, Mrs. Emil (Ida) Niemi, Lak Worth, Florida, and a nephew, Emil Niemi Jr., also of Lake Worth, Florida. One brother, William, and a sister, Mrs. Gilbert (Viola) Meyer, preceded her in death.
