Death by Own Action Shocks Postville Citizen Henry Brandt
The town of Postville awoke Sunday morning to shock as Henry Brandt, a Blacksmith with steady patronage, died by his own hand with a .22 or 2 caliber revolver on the adjacent walk. No clear motive is given beyond heavy drinking of late. He leaves a wife and two young children. The report notes his German heritage and the local pickup at George Haller's Cassandria cigar counter.
