In his family he had six half-brothers and four half-sisters, three full brothers and three full sisters. His father died April 8, 1846. On April 14, 1853, he was married to Susanna Eikenberry, to which union was born one daughter, Mary Elizabeth, January 13, 1854. Soon after his marriage, they with his mother and older brother and sister moved to western Howard county, Indiana, which was scarcely less than a wilderness. In this community he lived for seventy years. His wife died February 10, 1855, leaving him his little daughter, less than a year old. He made his home with his mother and sister until his marriage to Mary Hamilton, daughter of Elder Hiel Hamilton, June 3, 1860. To this union were born two daughters and three sons. Nancy Floretta and Eli Howard died in early childhood. Henry Martin grew to manhood, and with his family in 1895 moved to North Dakota, where he was killed by lightning August 28, 1921. Ida Augusta still lives with her parents. Ora George, after spending several years as a medical missionary in China, is now living near his parents in North Manchester. The deceased's mother died November 2, 1876. His oldest daughter, Mary Elizabeth, was married to John S Brubaker, January 18, 1877 and died May 1, 1879. In the fall of 1870, Wm. M Eikenberry, a nephew of mother Brubaker, a lad of six years, came to live in the home as a foster child. He too lives in North Manchester and mourns the loss of a foster father. In the fall of 1862 Brother and Sister Brubaker united with the Church of the Brethren and were baptized by Eld. JacobWagoner. He was elected to the office of deacon in the fall of 1865. He was a conscientious active member of the church always willing in its support and anxious to see the work of the church prosper. He was more than eighty years old when hisson, Dr O G Brubaker, was called to go to China, yet he said his son should go if it were the Lord's will. During his long service as a deacon he was often called to take a leading part in church affairs. He was active as a citizen, serving often on juries, superintendent of public roads, actively interested in whatever was for the betterment of the community. He was especially interested in anything that would be a help for young people. As husband and father he made the home such that to leave it was a sorrow and to return to it was a joy. He leaves his faithful companion for more than sixty years, one foster son and companion, one single daughter and one son and companion, all of North Manchester, eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and other relatives and friends. Funeral services were held last Friday morning at 10:30 at the Western Howard Church of the Brethren, conducted by Rev. Winger, president of North Manchester College, assisted by Revs. Ackerman and John Flora. Interment was made in Union cemetery.
