Article Text:
There will probably be plenty of mums today at Benjamin H. Brainard's funeral.
But don't expect them to be quite as pretty as the ones he and his wife, Anna Marie, used to grow.
The Brainards won many trophies from the national, state and local mum associations in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They later helped to judge the associations' contests.
Their hobby bloomed after Mr. Brainard retired from Cleveland Trust Co., his employer for 48 years. He was vice president of real estate loans.
Mr. Brainard died Friday at East Park Care Center, Brook Park, of heart failure. He was 93.
Mr. Brainard's ancestors came to Greater Cleveland nearly 200 years ago. They gave their name to Brainard Rd. on the East Side and much of their land to the public. The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo occupies some of the Brainards' parcels.
Mr. Brainard was born in Brooklyn and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1917. He spent a year at ?hio State University, then joined the Marines during World War I.
"He landed in France the day before the war ended," said his stepson, James A. Gibbs.
While working at the bank, he got a degree at night from John Marshall Law School.
Mr. Brainard is survived by his wife of 64 years, the former Anna Marie Nagy, of Brook Park; a son, John H. of Parker, Colo.; his stepson, of Mentor; a sister, Lorena Gumm of Phoenix; five grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
Services will be at 11 a.m. today at Busch funeral home, 4334 Pearl Rd.
