John Jr. is the son of John Brandt, Sr. In 1874, John Jr. at the age of four came to the United States with his parents from Kassel, Glueckstal Odessa area, South Russia. They settled in the Dakota Territory. Carolina Winkler's parental home was also Kassel, Glueckstal Odessa area, South Russia. When she was sixteen, she and her parents and her sister, Margaret, age twelve, came to the United States in 1898 and settled at Omemee. In 1896 John Jr. staked his claim on a quarter section of land in Willow Vale Township, three and a half miles south of Omemee. During those struggling pioneer days, the town of Omemee was growing to meet the needs of the homesteaders. The Great Northern railway became a life-line to the town. At each day's stop, it left off many hungry travelers who found sustenance at the downtown hotel. Caroline Winkler worked at this hotel as a cook. It was here that she and John Jr. met. John Jr., age 34, and Carolina, age 23, were married at Omemee July 13, 1904. To this marriage the following children were born: Leo, Albert, Elsie, Emil, Alvin, William, Ida and Martha. The entire life of John Jr. and Carolina was spent on the farm homestead. On February 18, 1929, Carolina succumbed to a brief illness of pneumonia. Ten years later, John passed on following a lingering illness as a result of a farm accident.
