Samuel Brenizer Dies in Akron - Was Well Known in This Area - 87 Years Old.
Surrounded by relatives and friends Samuel Brennizor quietly breathed his last Saturday evening at the home of his daughter, Mrs. M. E. Wilson, at 204 East Buchtel avenue. Mr. Brenizer was the father of Mrs. Wilson, Jacob I. Bronizer, propietor of the Empire house, and two sons and two daughters living in the west. During the past eight years Mr. Brenizer had been a sufferer from constant pain resulting from internal injuries sustained eight years ago in falling.
Mr. Brenizer was past 87 years and lived in Akron for a quarter of a century. He was born in Pennsylvania and while a young man removed to Smithville, Wayne county, where he engaged in farming until his retirement several years ago, since when he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Wilson, and his son, J. I. Brenizer. Besides his children in this city he is survived by F. A. Brenizer, Chicago; Samuel Brenizer, Clear Lake, S. D.; and Mrs. A. F. Poulson, of Castlewood, S. D.
During the Civil war Mr. Brenizer acquired distinction for his intense patriotism. One who knew him in the time of the war says that the services of Mr. Brenizer were such that he ought to have received a pension. when the Civil war was declared Mr. Brenizer who was at the time a resident of Smithville, was too old to join the army. However, his sympathies were intensely with the Union cause and gave freely of his means to support it. But that was not all. Such was his interest that he made dangerous trips through the south to bring back the sick to their own homes that they might recover or be nursed back to health in the army. Many a brave fellow from Wayne county was cheered by the presence of the faithful friend in the person of Samuel Brenizer, who traveled far through a hostile country that he might bring medicine and delicacies to them. Some of his trips were attended by great danger, he at one time narrowly escaped the hands of General Morgan and his troops. So freely of his time and money did he give that he was compelled to mortgage his farm and lost much of his property. He was certainly a true patriot and did the best he could for his country's sake. The remains were placed in Glendale vault. [13]
