Brede Jr., his parents, and his siblings migrated to America in 1853 settling in Madison Township, Winneshiek County, Iowa where they appear in the 1860 US Census as the "Braderson" family.

According to Luther College Through Sixty Years (Norlie, 1922: 206), Brede attended Luther College only during the 1864-1865 academic year, and so did not receive an A.B. degree. By the time of the 1870 Census he was still working on their farm in Madison Township. In 1871 the family moved to Glenwood Township where Brede Jr. was still living when the 1880 Census was taken.

Emma Sofia SANDER (c. 1915)

The portrait below of Emma SANDER, Brede and Siri's youngest daughter, was probably taken for her confirmation or high school graduation as she can be seen to be holding a rolled-up document which is most likely a certificate or diploma.
