Notes for William Andrew Bratney
His obituary, from the Hastings Republican, 2 Sept., 1899, page 5:
"It is with extreme regret the REPUBLICAN chronicles the death of W.A. Bratney, which occurred at the family home, 220 South Minnesota avenue, at 7 o'clock last evening. Mr. Bratney was taken ill bout seven weeks ago with an acute attack of typhoid fever. The fore part of last week it was thought that a change had taken place for the better, but he suffered a relapse and grew steadily worse until the end. Mr. Bratney was a good citizen of exemplary habits and character. He and his excellent family are highly esteemed in this community.
"William Andrew Bratney was born at New Berlin, Illinois, January 17, 1851, died September 1st, 1899. Removed to Nebraska in 1875. He has been a resident of Hastings for the past 17 years. He has been a consistent member of the Baptist church, uniting with this denomination in 1885. He was a member in good standing of the Ancient Order of United Workmen and also of the Fraternal Aid Association. He carried a life insurance policy of $2000 in the former and a $1000 policy in the latter. Both of these fraternities will officiate at the funeral services to be held at the Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
"Deceased leaves a wife and five children, three daughters and two sons, to mourn his death.
"The A.O.U.W. has been requested to assume full charge of the funeral ceremonies."
