<The death is announced of John W. Brunnemer, a former champion of the Brooklyn Chess Club, who was widely known in correspondence chess circles. Since leaving Brooklyn he had lived at Nyack and only recently moved into a new home at Oradell, N.J. He was a musician and, in business, was connected with the coffee trade. His age was 51.> Brunnemer's first mention in the <BDE> occurred in 1914 (16th November, p.18) upon the announcement of his father's death, aged 44, under the factually correct headline: <DROPS DEAD PLAYING BASEBALL>. |
