BRADEMEYER FAMILY
Henry W. Brademeyer was born in Illinois in 1858, died in 1940. He married Louise Meyer and came to Taylor to homestead in 1884. Brothers to the couple, Charley Brademeyer and Hank Meyer also homesteaded about that time.
Henry and Louise were leaders in their community, being instrumental in organizing the Evangelical Church in Taylor, now the United Church of Christ. He was the first president of the church and she served over 20 years as president of the Ladies Aid. Their children were tutored in the home until schools were available. Horses and cattle were raised on their ranches, and he was known for his livestock in Chicago. At one time they ranged over 90 head of horses. Fences had not been built and buttes were used to locate horses and cattle for miles around. They settled on land having springs of water for home and animals. Of their eight children, five lived to maturity. They are as follows:
Lydia, married Joe F. Christen, long time Taylor store owner. Their children are; Harry (1895-1929); Mabel, Mrs. John Moes, St. Paul, Minn., (three children, nine grandchildren) and Chrisse (1899-1974) also of St. Paul, (two children, four grandchildren).
