Brubaker, of the Massanutton section, who received information on Wednesday from the War Department that his son had died with tuberculosis. Until last week, his family knew nothing of his illness as his letters home had always been cheery and giving no intimation that his health was impaired in any way and the news came as a great shock to his relatives and friends. Young Brubaker was one of the first selected men in Page, having left here for Camp Lee with his quota of September 1917. After training at that camp he sailed for France May 1918. He belonged to the 80th Division, 318th Infantry which is now preparing to sail for the States. Tom Brubaker was a genial favorite, and is held in high esteem by a large circle of friends. He would have been 31 years of age in June. Besides his parents he is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Martin, John, Charlie, and Mahlon Brubaker, and Misses Barbara, Elizabeth, Hattie, Annie and Ella Brubaker. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in their great sorrow. ************************************************** Information below courtesy of contributor suef # 47116378 This soldier was returned to the U.S. and buried here in Dec. of 1921.
