According to the catechism of Jacob Brennecke, his youngest brother, Frank Brennecke was born February 9, 1848. According to the church records at Zion United Methodist Church, Frank was born on February 15, 1848 and baptized on October 4, 1848. He was born in Tilsit, between Gordonville and Jackson, MO. His baptism record is the second listed in the records of Zion. His baptism record lists the place where they lived as "near the windmill."
On May 16, 1872 he married Anna Kuehle, born January 3, 1850. Born to this union were Daniel F. and August, who died eight months later in 1878. Wife Anna died on August 1, 1885 and is buried in Zion Methodist Cemetery.
Six months after Anna's death, Frank married Anna's sister, Alvina Kuehle, on February 7, 1886. Children born to Frank and Alvina were Benjamin, Joseph, and Monroe James.
Frank died February 7, 1902 and is buried in Zion Methodist Cemetery, Gordonville, MO.
The Frank Brennecke farm adjoined his father August Brennecke's farm, between Jackson and Tilsit. Frank's son, Benjamin, lived on this farm until the 1960s. It has since been sold.
