Clemens Ferdinand Brodd, was born near Ceresco, Nebr., August 8, 1907.

He is survived by his wife, Florence, and the three boys; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Brodd; four brothers, Virgil, Richard, Lawrence and Kenneth; many other relatives and a host of friends.
Our departed friend was brought up in a God-fearing home. At the age of fifteen he was confirmed by Rev. C.O. Granlund in the Immanuel Lutheran Church, Ceresco. He was a member of said church at the time of his death.
Mr. and Mrs. Brodd had a beautiful home life. Love reigned supreme. The bereaved wife told us the other day that a hard word had never been spoken in their home. This makes the parting all the harder. We sympathize with the sorrowing. May God comfort them and give them grace and strength day by day.
Rev. Peterson
