Albert Breneman – Too Young to Die – Tombstone Tuesday

November 17, 2009
My great-uncle, Albert Miner Breneman, died long before I was born, when his niece, my mother, was about three years old. Albert died as the result of a motorcycle accident at the age of twenty-seven.
Looking at the picture following I’d say he was a fine-looking young man.

Albert, the son of Salinda (Rose) Breneman and Constantine “Tom” Breneman, is buried in the Ryan Township Cemetery, a small well-kept cemetery in Sumner County, Kansas, just one mile west of Milan, and about 16 miles west of Wellington on Highway 160.

Albert, second from the left on the back in the picture below, had five brother’s and sisters, and one of his sisters, Carrie Esther Breneman, front left below, married Warner LaRue Jones.
Carrie and Warner were my grandparents.

Whenever I visit the cemetery to leave flowers or take photographs I think how sad it was that he died so young.

[…] Constantine “Tom” was married to Salinda E. (Rose) Breneman, but they divorced later in life. Constantine and Salinda had five children, Ira, Albert, Harvey, Otto, Carrie, and May and you can see their photographs here. […]
Carrie married LaRue Jones, and May also married a Jones? Were Carrie Breneman Jones and May Breneman Jones Willey sisters as well as sisters in law? Our ancestors made it very difficult to figure out what was going on.
Hi Claire! Yes, sisters Carrie and May, daughters of Constantine and Salinda (Rose) Breneman married brothers Warner LaRue and Evan Jones. And yes, does make if difficult!
