Frederick Bruin, only son of James and Martha Bruin was born at Guion, Indiana, Jan 15, 1877 and passed away April 5, 1929 at the age of 52 years, 2 months and 20 days at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Pearl Murray at Russellville. He was united in marriage with Myrtle R. Dooley Aug 26, 1902. To this union were born three children: Pearl, James and Dorothy Marie, all of whom survive but little Dorothy who passed on Feb. 17, 1929. He united with the Presbyterian Church at Guion at the age of 24 and always lived a faithful life. With the exception of the past two years his entire life was spent on the farm where he was born. He made a host of friends wherever he went with his cheerful disposition and was always ready and willing to help any one at any time. He had been in failing health for the past two years and the recent death of his little daughter bore heavily upon him and he often expressed a desire to join her in Heaven. His last illness was very brief and it came as a great shock to the whole community. Besides the immediate family he leaves many other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his departure. - kbz
