The Daily Review, Decatur IL, 21 Apr 1905, pg. 12
Mrs. Valette P. Brandau died at 6:30 Thursday evening at her home, on North Franklin street. Her death was caused by a complication of diseases and was rather unexpected as her condition had been considered serious only since last Tuesday. She had not been in good health for some time, but up to Tuesday it was thought that she would get well.
She was born in Decatur. She was the youngest daughter of the late J. J. Peddecord and wife. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Isabel Vennigerholz of Decatur and Mrs. Emma Rurode of Fort Wayne, Ind. Mrs. Rurode was notified by telegraph of the death of Mrs. Brandau and will be here to attend the funeral. The arrangements for the funeral have not been completed.
