ANDREW BRUMMEL FAMILY

The farm in Warrenhurst, Illinois, Winfield Township, located on Butterfield Road, three quarters of a mile west of Rt. 59 by the E.J.&E. Railroad, was purchased in 1919 by William Brummel from the Barkdoll Family. Andrew Brummel married Helen Kammes of Wheaton, Illinois, in 1920. This is where Andrew and Helen started farming and raised twelve children, naming them in order: Edith Stark, Bartlett; Dorothy White, Naperville; Mildred Wolsfeld, Earlville; Marie White, Aurora; Arthur Brummel, Sugar Grove; Pauline Muehlfelt, Wheaton; Norman Brummel, Elkhorn; Floyd Brummel (deceased), Maple Park; Gerald Brummel, Watertown, Wisconsin; Geraldean Mctosh, Denver; Colorado; Ervin Brummel, Virgil; Janice Ferreri, Plainfield. All lived on this farm until Andrew bought the Ed Rieser farm on Warrenville-Batavia Rd., Naperville, Illinois in 1943 to which they moved and lived until The Hammerschmidt Gravel purchased it in 1950. They built a new home on this same property. After the death of Andrew’s father William, Andrew bought the Butterfield farm in 1950 and it was farmed by members of the family until the (Atomic Energy) now known as Fermi Lab, Batavia. Illinois purchased under protest in 1967. After that Andrew and Helen bought a home in Geneva, Illinois. They were both born in Dupage County as well as both their parents.
