Anton Brenn
Anton Brenn (born 11 April 1852) was a Schwartzistani carter of Salzmoor, in The Sudmark; died 19 October 1919, aged 67.
Anton Brenn held the office of Grand Chancellor, elected by the Assembly for the seven-year term, and is entered in the roll of chancellors kept at the Chancellery. During the tenure the Annual War Appropriation passed without a dissenting voice, as it has in every year since it was first voted. The occupation entered is carter; the carters' trade depends on the state of the causeways and is much concerned with it. The civil register enters Anton Brenn as a carter of Salzmoor, and the Encyclopedia follows the register.
