On Saturday, July 5, 1879, we were startled with surprise and grief at the death of our friend and neighbor, Henry Brubaker, who died at his beautiful home in Florida, Flatrock township, Henry county, O. He was born in Franklin county Pa., April 29, 1816, departed this life July 5, 1879, aged 63 years, two months and 6 days. Was married to Leah Weibel April 26 1838, and from these parents were born fourteen children, of which three have already departed and gone on before, while six daughters and five sons still remain to mourn the loss of a loved father. He came to Ohio in an early day and was one of the early settlers in this county, was located near Napoleon, and lived there until about four years ago, when he moved to Florida, the place where he departed this life. He knew what hardships and severe trials meant by practical experience, and while this was a howling wilderness, and for about forty-three years, by persevering industry, aided in developing its resources, performing all his duties as a good citizen. Like a ripe sheaf he has been gathered home by the great reaper Death to meet his reward; leaving a widow and children to mourn his loss. He embraced religion about twenty-three years ago and united with the United Brethren Church and lived a consistent member till death released him from earth. We trust that the community will recognize in the funeral text delivered by Rev. Geo. Struble, pastor of the U.B. Church, from Ephesians fifth chapter, sixteenth verse "Redeeming the Time." While we are called upon to-day to record the loss of one of our members in the community, and to give expressions of sorrow at the departure of a worthy brother and member of our church, it brings sadness to our hearts to remember that an important link in the chain of friendship and love has been broken and separated by the ruthless hand of death, though this we much lament we must bow submissively to the providence of an infinitely kind and loving father who doeth all things well, and while to-day we feel sadly bereaved of a faithful and cherished friend and member of our society, we rejoice in the thought that he lives and reigns in a fairer clime where he is permitted to enjoy the association of some that are already there. For many years the deceased had been a stranger to health and bodily comfort, also in various other forms had sorrow and affliction been allotted to him by the divine hand of God, but he bore it all patiently, and while conversing with him a short time before he died about the future, he said he was willing to go, was ready, he had set his house in order, just waiting the hour which came at last. As the family all stood around his bed-side, and some of them holding him by the hand, and just as the clock marked the time of half past twelve dear Father was passing through the Valley of the shadow of Death, and without a doubt is now realizing what it is to be with Jesus and enjoy the bliss of Heaven. Long will his memory be sweet to the church, his relations and all who knew him, a great loss on earth but his rest is with the Lord and the home above. His death was simply a triumphant departure out of the world to the land of endless sunshine. May the bereaved widow, the children, brothers and sisters and all the relatives of the deceased, have the assurance of the sympathy of all who knew him and above all may God grant and comfort them in their present tribulation until that day when they and we will meet again never to part from him in that blissful land where death does not come and [illegible] known, but where all is by peace and love. The funeral took place at the United Brethren Church in Florida, the Rev. Struble officiating, after which the funeral procession formed, which was the largest ever known to take place in our village, and conveyed his body to the beautiful cemetery south-east of Napoleon, there to remain until the trumpet of the Lord shall sound in awakening the dead. Weep not for me when in the grave You've laid my peaceful head Or, when returning to your home, You leave me with the dead, Even when at home, oh, do not weep To see my vacant place, Or whisper soft my name and sigh, Because you miss my face Weep not for me I'm happy, safe At home among the blest [the rest is cut off my copy] Note: The obit for Henry Brubaker was found on Acestry.com
