Aug 12,1923-July 23,2013
Leonard Ray Braunersrither, 89, of rural Gordon, Nebraska passed away July 26, 2013, at Kimball Manor in Kimball, Nebraska. He was born August 12, 1923 to C.J. "Charlie" and Margretha "Maggie" Braunersrither in a sod house on his home place. He later lived and grew up on the Box O farm and ranch and attended school in that district until eighth grade.

They moved back to the farm where he was born and he resided there until the time of his death.
Leonard was a hard working farmer his entire life, always willing to help out a neighbor or friend doing welding or other repair work. He built the house they lived in from the ground up and loved the challenge of being able to build things himself.

Some of his inventions included a center pivot irrigation for his wife's garden and a self-propelled weed sprayer. He loved using his ingenuity and inventive spirit. In the late 1960's he earned his electrician license and worked in South Dakota and Nebraska. In the 1970's, he rebuilt a 1946 Commonwealth airplane, and along with his daughter, Sherry, earned his private pilot license. He is survived by his three daughters, Cindy Sandoz and Sherry Rhoadarmer both of Gordon, Nebraska and Lana (Jerry) Anderson of Kimball, Nebraska; five grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife Frances, two sisters and one grandson. Funeral Home. Funeral services will be August 2, 2013 at Chamberlain-Pier Funeral Home. Burial will be held at the Gordon Cemetery.
