Governor’s Faces of Arkansas series honors 101-year-old veteran of three wars

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has named Floyd Brantley of Conway, a 101-year-old veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam, as the 11th subject of her Faces of Arkansas series. The monthly series profiles an Arkansan in writing, photographs and a short video, with the subject’s portrait hung at the entrance to the governor’s office at the Capitol. The governor’s office says the series is meant to keep the focus of public service on the people the state serves, and that subjects are chosen for holding their communities together, overcoming obstacles or playing an essential role in their industry.

The Hartwig-Schmidtke Couple Migrates to Cleveland

Today’s birthday girl is Martha Wilhelmine Bertha Schmdtke, who, according to a transcription of her German baptism record below, was born on November 12, 1867. Bertha’s later gravestone says she was born on that date in 1868. Her death certificate says she was born on January 17, 1866. I happen to think that she was born in 1867 because a church record also uses that date. Bertha was the daughter of Friedrich and Wilhelmina (Nehm) Schmidtke. When Bertha came to America aboard the ship, Dresden, in 1892, she was said to be 24 years old. Her passenger list says she was from Konigsberg and headed towards Illinois.
