D. Bruner. Mrs. Bruner, nee Baird, was born at Springfield, Ohio, in 1848, and her early demise is deeply mourned by two accomplished daughters, Mrs. I. S. Russel, of this city, and Mrs. Scott, wife of W. J. Scott, Recorder of Ida Grove, Ida County, Iowa. It is fitting to mention the fact that Mrs. Bruner was of a rare idealistic nature, a true devotee of art, and excessively fond of classical literature. She was an able conversationalist and a good writer. She had a fair knowledge of French, and understood German and Spanish well. As a member of both the Chautauqua Lakeside Club and the Summer Reading Club, of this city, she was loved by many thoroughly cultured ladies on account of her accomplishments and her charming manner and disposition. The Rev. Dr. Noble officiated at the funeral services at her late residence, No. 148 Campbell avenue. [Daily Inter Ocean, Published December 09, 1888, submitted by CD] H. W.
