at Sweet Springs. In 1897 -he
entered University Medical Col-
lege, later transferring to Medi-
co-Chirnogical College at Kansas
City, graduating from there in
1900. He soon moved to Bucklin,
Kansas, where he began his
practice.
In the early days a doctor’s
life was not an easy one, travel
ing from patient to patient was
done on horseback or in buggies.
Often rides were caught on
train engines from one town to
another.
In 1901 he was married to
Daisy Harriet Alexander who be
came the mother of his two sons
Harold A. and Karl A. In 1910
his wife passed away suffering
from typhoid fever.
In 1913 he moved to Buhler,
Kansas where he again was mar-
ried.
During the 1918 flu epidemic
he was forced at times to work
around the clock when he also
caught the flu, causing him to
move to a warm climate. In 1920
he moved to Mercedes, Texas,
where he bought a small truck
farm. After a year he decided
he would resume the practice of
medicine. He in turn moved
back to Inman and Buhler, Kans.
In 1929 his health again for-
ced him south, stopping in San
Antonio, he decided he would
move to Boerne where he re-
mained until 1940. Dr. and Mrs.
Bredehoft move to Rankin, Tex-
as, where he made many friends
—he stayed their until retire-
ment in 1952.
Iii 1953 and part of 1954 he
went back into service operating
and managing a hospital in Mel-
vin until hs eyesight became so
impaired he w;as forced to have
eye surgery which was fairly
successful.
At his bedside when the end
came were his two sons and
their families, Mr. and Mrs. Har-
old Bredehoft of Millington, N.
J. and their daughter Alice Ann
of Fort Worth and Mr. and Mrs.
Karl Bredehoft and their two
sons, Howard and J. C.. One oth-
er grandson John Bredehoft is
a student at Washington and
Lee.
Active pallbearers were: Jack
Carpenter, Max Theis, Henry
Fabra, E. E. Ebner, Albert Uec-
ker and Fritz Sueltenfuss.
Honorary pallbearers were:
Mel Arnett, W. E. Janensch, B.
F. Rust, Dr. H. C. Day, M. J.
Lelimann and Paul Holekamp.
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Herrin
and two daughters of Kendalia
