John Anton Brandl married Frances Janson c. 1906. John died in 1945 when he was 62. Mom's Aunt Francie died at 99. One of their children, Edward Joseph, married Mercedes Hiemenz, better known as Sadie. They were married in 1936, and I believe this photo was taken in honor of their 50th Anniversary, in 1986. Ed and Sadie Brandl had five children, one of whom inherited that JOHN name again. To overcome this, he got into politics, and eventually became Representative John Brandl.
Here he is in 1978. The picture is from a newsletter he sent to constituents in his district (61A), and mom had a copy somehow. He was also teaching at the University of Minnesota..."courses in budgeting, tax policy and evaluating government programs".
This article from 2007 mentions his date of death as the 18th of August. On the 19th, he would have celebrated his 70th birthday.
