Published in the Democratic Northwest Jan 13, 1887 BRUBAKER.-At the family residence in Napoleon Tp., Henry County, on the morning of Jan. 10th, 1887, after an illness of short duration of pneumonia; Wm. D. Brubaker, eldest child of Henry and Leah Brubaker. A wife and 10 children are thus deprived of a husband’s sustaining arm and a father’s loving care. He was an active and useful member of Wm. A. Choat Post No. 66 G.A.R. Napoleon. He was a member of Co. F. 68th Regt. O.V.I. Comrades, again you are admonished that your members are thinning fast, that deaths strokes are falling on every side. Funeral Wednesday from M.E. Church at Florida, G.A.R. services. A more extended notice next week. Henry County Signal, 19 January 1887 Jan. 10th, 1887, after an illness of ten days of pneumonia, at the family residence four miles west of Napoleon, William D. Brubaker, oldest son of Henry and Leah Brubaker, born in Stark county, O., Jan. 17th, 1839. At the time of his death, he was aged 47 years, 11 months and 2 days. His parents came to Henry county and settled, where what is now a part of Napoleon, about 38 or 39 years ago. In April, 1861, when the boom of the gun against Fort Sumter sounded throughout the North he was among those who early responded to the call for arms to defend and uphold the Nation's life and honor, enlisting in Co. F, 14th O.V.I. At the close of its three months' service was discharged at Toledo, O., August 13, 1862. Returned to his home at Napoleon, and in Oct. '61 again enlisted in Co. F, 68th O.V.I. under Capt. W.W. Bowen; was discharged for disability, resulting from a lung affection, at Jackson, Tenn., Jan. 13, 1863. His death resulted from an aggravated form of the same disease that caused his discharge for disability during the war. In August, 1863, he married Miss Elisabeth, daughter of Jacob Bales, another of Henry county's old residents. By this marriage he was the father of 13 children, three of whom are now dead. Five daughters and five sons with their mother are deprived of the sustaining arm of a loving husband and the watchful care of a devoted father. There also survive him his aged mother, six sisters and four brothers. This is the fourth son this mother has been called upon to mourn their departure into the great beyond from which none ever returned. He will be greatly missed by his friends and neighbors being a man of prominence and influence in his neighborhood, ever active and energetic to neighborhood interests and affairs, and his entire married life, of more than 23 years, having been passed upon the farm upon which he died gave him a widespread and intimate acquaintance thereabout. A true friend and brave comrade has gone to his rest; his breast decked with the star of his order in life so proudly cherished by him. In death it still rested about the heart that could no longer thrill with loyalty and pride at its sight. Funeral services at the M.E. church in Florida, Wednesday, Jan.12th, conducted by Rev. Robinette, pastor of the U.B. church, assisted by Rev. M.C. Howey, of the M.E. Church. Ten of his old Co. comrades were present at his funeral; five of them acting as pall bearers. Of the other five, three were cousins and two cousins by marriage. Interred in Brey cemetery under auspices of Choate Post, No. 66, G.A.R., of Napoleon, of which he was an active and respected member. NOTE: William's obit says he is buried in Brey Cemetery but his is buried in Glennwood Cemetery.
