Brookville Community Scholarship Foundation - Albert Gruening Memorial Scholarship Fund

This scholarship was established in 1994 by Hadley and Helen Bryant Hill in honor of Albert Gruening, a baker from Germany who came to Brookville in 1872. He married Rebecca Jane Wrights, and they became the parents of five children. One of his daughters, Dorothy Louise Gruenig, graduated from Brookville High School in 1895 and married Forrest Baker Bryant who graduated from Brookville High School in 1894. Their daughter, Kathryn Helen Bryant, married Hadley A. Hill. Helen was very devoted to her grandparents, parents and the Brookville community. To honor her family, Mrs. Hill established the scholarship fund.
