Rev. Paul Lindloff officiating
Pastor of the Emanuel Lutheran Church (Lansing) - Information of Note:
- He is buried with his sister & father in
the family plot immediately west of the Nickols
family plot (he had a joint funeral with his sister
and Emma Amelia Nickols). In November 2008
the Seifert Family Foundation purchased markers for the children.
Multiple different spellings of the family surname have appeared in various contemporary print sources & on the internet ("Bromundt", "Bromund" and "Dromund" having been the most common). The Township's cemetery burial records have the name listed as "Bromand," while the Clinton County clerk's office had recorded the death certificate for he and his sister under the "Bromont" name. The spelling used in this website is taken from the funeral records of the family's church (Emanuel Lutheran Church in Lansing). The family dropped the trailing "t" and began using the "Bromund" spelling at some point in the late 1920's, following the bombing.

Robert was buried in grave number 1 of the plot, Emilie (Amelia) in grave number 2 and their father in grave number 6. You can see their markers with red flowers in between.
