PREFACE
" Biography is the only true history."— Emerson.
" Biography is allowed on all hands to be one of the most attractive and
profitable kinds of reading."— Archbishop Wheatley.
" Every mm is a bundle of his ancestors ."—Emerson.
Who and what were my ancestors? Such information is of vital impor-
tance if the present would improve upon the past, and yet honor the ancestry.
In the subject matter of the above quotations ; in the complexity of the general
family lines under consideration; in the study of heredity problems, especially
those of consanguineous marriages and their effects*; in the desire to fashion
a fitting monument to the ancestry ; and to help and encourage both the present
and future generations— in all such matters the reader will gather motives for
the preparation of this volume. The definite purpose to ultimately undertake
the project was formed while long ago listening to conversations between
Father '[E226] and Grandfather [E68], held upon the site of the original
building at the « old homestead " in Penn Twp., Huntingdon Co., Pa. I have
very often regretted that my quetsions were then so superficial, and that we
were unable to secure some important historical papers pertaining to [E2]
Jacob2 Brumbach.
There was a great, cracked iron kettle at the old homestead which had
been dropped from an old Conestoga wagon in making the difficult fording of
the Susquehanna River, and recovered from it, as several of the ancestors were
returning to « Woodcock Valley » from « the Gushehoppa » or " Gushehoppen
region," " where some Brumbachs yet remained." George3 [E13] said the
ancestors came from Germany and France, but he seemed not to have men-
tioned immigrants other than the lines « C » and « E." They passed through
eastern Pennsylvania into Maryland, and some went West and South, while
others went into Cumberland Co., Pa. The latter made occasional trips to
"Gushehoppa." Some references to this general region are found upon
pp. 134-137. .
Early German and other colonists, especially in Pennsylvania, usually
buried their dead on their farms in family or community plots. The graves
were marked by field stones, or by slate slabs, using merely initials and rarely
the dates of birth and death. Positive knowledge of the facts thus perished
through death, loss of memory, and migrations. Family Bibles and other
-Those interested in the matter should write to Prof Charles B- Davenport^ Eugenics

Institution, he is actively directing researches in experimental .■solution, etc.

BEUMBACH FAMILIES
records have been destroyed by fire, or lost. In one instance a Bible was sold
in York Co., Pa., " to a man from Philadelphia for fifty cents," and it has
nevel been located. This actual occurrence, fortunately, is but illustrative, and
did not happen in our families — but some of our valuable records have been de-
stroyed because " they were old."
As a rule Brumbach-Brumbaugh and related families have not sought pub-
lic office,3 and this commonly fruitful source of information in public records
has been closed. Land records, however, have been of the greatest assistance.
Will books but infrequently assisted, owing to the early and general practice
of dividing property upon retiring from active business life; or of permitting
the laws of descent to determine the division of property.
The military records ordinarily furnished extensive material for family
history. Though loyal, the large majority of the families herein traced ad-
hered to the non-resistent views, and military sources of information are there-
fore also of comparatively little assistance. In connection with the Friend,
Mennonite, German Baptist and other church belief and practices, the follow-
ing extract" is of interest:
" The Draft — Brethren who are drafted may pay $300.00 and be exempt,
or be assigned to hospital duty, or to take charge of ' freedmen,' but will not
be forced into the ranks."
The earlier data, gathered partly by Father, was taken up by me in 1889,
and the search was pressed as opportunity permitted. Later the writer learned
that others were working upon our separate family histories, and finally
learned that death had terminated their efforts. It was finally learned that
Ephraim5 Brumbaugh [E345], historian of the "Descendants of Conrad3
Brumbaugh" [E9], preserved the material gathered by his late brother, An-
drew5 Brumbaugh [E344], in some fourteen years of persistent inquiry. This
material was secured and was found to deal largely with the descendants of
Conrad3 [E9], and of Margaret3 (Brumbaugh) Fouse [E8]. About 1907,
after a long search, the records of the late Edmund Green4 Brumbaugh
[G160]c were secured from his widow. These records represented about nine
years' search amongst the descendants of Hermanus Emanuel1 Brumbach
[Gl] ; and without that assistance, and the later co-operation of Albert Jacob4
Brumbach [G87],d Section G would scarcely have been included in this volume.
"Hon. Clement Laird5 Brumbaugh [C203], now Deputy Superintendent of Insurance
for Ohio, was elected a Member of Congress from Columbus, O., Nov. 5, 1912, too late to note
upon page 229. Others of the name have served in State Legislatures, but he is apparently
the first to serve in the National body. See Plate 61%.

PREFACE
XVll
The records of both Andrew Brumbaugh and Edmund Green Brumbaugh, and
those of Father, preserved the results of personal interviews, letters, etc., from
the oldest surviving persons both in the family lines and without them. The
compiler carefully digested, collated, and made everything to assist in the com-
pletion of the present " progress report." Their basis work was most impor-
tant, and the compiler profoundly regrets that they could not have survived to
assist in completing this volume, which is evolved along wholly different plans.
Their records included letters from numerous deceased ancestors, and a com-
prehensive plan should be formed for the union of the different Memorial
Associations, or Reunions, and the permanent preservation of this data.
The late Judge Jefferson5 Brumback [D231]a wrote of his investigations
in Virginia tracing the descendants of The Widow2 Brumbach [D2], and dur-
ing his lifetime his assistance and interest in the project of the writer were
most cordial. There were also found letters from Garrett Ellwood5 Brownback
[A132],b who was especially interested in the descendants of Gerhard1 Brum-
bach [Al]. His co-operation with the compiler has been constant and most
encouraging in the dark hours. He has preserved valuable records, at his own
expense furnished many half tones for Section A, and has already loaned $200
to help the compiler to publish this volume. Orville Sanford6 Brumback
[D263]c was also represented by letters to the late workers, has continued his
enlarged interest in the undertaking, has furnished much information concern-
ing his family lines, and has paid for many half tones in Section D. John
Garner5 Fouse [E8-ix-6]a and his brother, Adam Garner0 Fouse [E8-ix-8],e
visited the late Andrew5 Brumbaugh [E344] and encouraged and assisted him
materially by securing facts concerning the Fouse families. That active inter-
est and assistance has been continued to the compiler, and a volume, " Fouse
Families in America," is planned by us for later publication.
It has been very difficult to secure photographs, but an unusual number
for a family history are reproduced in the belief that this expense will assure a
more acceptable and valuable volume. A few composite or type photographs
were planned, but this is reserved for the future. One old record and some
facts were secured by one co-worker, who drove thirty miles through snow to
secure them. Such assistance, together with that of Joseph Martin5 Brum-
back [D256] and Frances Elizabeth5 Brumback [D259]— see pp. 270, 278,
330, Pis. 67-70 — have been intensely encouraging to the compiler.

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
Dr. Martin Grove0 Brumbaugh [E682] took the necessary time from his
busy life to read the page proofs for the volume and to kindly write the Intro-
duction. His continuous interest and decided commendation of the results
secured, and his co-operation throughout the later stages of the project, are
gratefully acknowledged.
Mr. Eugene Alleman, P. M. at Warsaw, Ind., kindly furnished informa-
tion leading to a considerable number of hitherto unobtainable facts concern-
ing Brumbaugh families in Kosciusko and Elkhart Counties, Ind.
Mr. Luther R. Kelker, Custodian of the Public Records, Harrisburg, Pa.,
rendered important help, and was instrumental in directing me to Mr. Karl
Brombach, Karlsruhe, Baden (see p. 4), who has been of the greatest assist-
ance in searching the foreign field for facts and illustrations. Chalmers
Sherfey6 Brumbaugh [E756] also materially assisted in the study of the
coats-of-arms (see pp. 21-25, 616). Messrs. Stephen Olop, Denver, Colo.,
Emory Alburtus6 Zook [E231-H], and Michael Alvin Gruber, Washington,
D. C, very kindly assisted in making translations, etc.
The treasures of the Library of Congress were kindly placed at my dis-
posal for reference and study (much is there yet ungleaned) ; and the officials
and attendants there, as also in other libraries, court houses, etc., etc., have
been most helpful and courteous.
Mr. Ernest Lindsley Crandall, Washington, D. C, made the excellent
photographs of most of the records herein produced, and deserves especial
credit for the careful manner in which this often difficult work was done. The

PREFACE
xix
The personal relations resulting from our work have become of much value, and
it is with special gratitude that I return sincere thanks for all assistance
extended to me. Permit me to further ask a continuance of active help in
securing extensive distribution of the completed book.
The volume presents much authentic data hitherto inaccessible. The
great mass of facts has been built year by year, constantly verified and
changed, through correspondence and visits to members of the families men-
tioned. The comprehensive index gives numerous surnames only, to economize
space, and it is one continuous whole carefully alphabeted. It will enable
searchers to quickly locate available information, and the general methods fol-
lowed will doubtless be helpful. The results are often fragmentary and incom-
plete. Sometimes differing dates have been given by members of the same
family, and the rule has been to give preference to the oldest records, letters,
etc., and such records at times have been found in far-distant places. Over
10,000 envelopes containing letters and circulars of inquiry have been sent by
the writer during the past four years. In one instance 26 letters were sent to
members of one family before the important replies were received, and the facts
are condensed into three printed lines of the book. Special thanks are ex-
tended to the faithful ones who lessened the labors, and encouraged, by speedily
replying to troublesome inquiries. These often involved trips through snow
and ice-bound cemeteries, etc., etc.
Especial efforts have resulted in giving full given and middle names (a
practice far too rare from the historian's and genealogist's standpoint), and
to include the female ancestry. All ancestry is dualistic. The marriages are
italicized. Intermarriages in the direct line of descent were at first set in upper
case letters, but in most instances these have been changed to italics. The
trouble, delay and expense involved in the change are the cause of the remain-
ing exceptions to the italicizing rule. Money has never been requested or re-
ceived for the insertion of biographies, and some persons are yet unaware that
extensive family details are here first published. Completeness and authen-
ticity have been the aim. Owing to the wideness of the research, it is believed
that a large majority of readers will find herein facts much in excess of per-
sonal knowledge, even in his or her own line. Such has been the testimony of
those who have seen portions of the work.

INTRODUCTION
Biography is concrete history. The story of a life is the story of the race
concreted. The understanding of a life is in no unimportant way the under-
standing of an age. The record of a family through successive generations is
a large chapter in the history of the race. To trace this record through the
centuries and across the seas is a labor which only the trained spirit imbued
with sacrificing love can adequately undertake.
I have long wished that someone would gather the broken threads of my
family and patiently and capably weave them into a connected and coherent
whole. The difficulties in the way seemed to render the task prohibitive. The
family belonged to the Upper Palatine in Germany. It grew and wrought and
worshipped along the historic Rhine and under the snow-clad Alps. Its grad-
ual increase and development contributed, I believe, no insignificant part in
the history of the Fatherland. Just what it did and who the workers were no
one knew.
Imbued with the spirit of religious freedom and wrought to protest against
prevailing social and religious ideals, it broke away during the 18th century
from its traditional moorings and came to America. Here the family found
itself a German-speaking group in an English colony. Dispersed and dena-
tionalized, its records were lost and the task of the biographer made difficult
to the point of despair. By bitter experience and by religious conviction much
that had meaning for this world was lost in the holy enterprise of securing an
assured entrance into the world to be. Pious concern for the future rendered
the family largely indifferent to the present.
All this complicated the work of the author. Only those familiar with the
task of writing personal history through the centuries and in different coun-
tries, with a forbidding sea between, can appreciate the gigantic task Dr. Gaius
Marcus Brumbaugh has here undertaken.
And how splendidly has the work been done ! With an industry and an
intelligence worthy of the greatest commendation, he has for many years, with
many discouragements and few encouragements, steadily traced the story and
collated the records until at last and with almost inconceivable skill he has given
us the record of the family, individual by individual, to the present time.
A service so signally weU performed is worthy of all commendation, and
merits the hearty appreciation and support of all those that love their family
xxm
xxiv
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
and welcome the narrative of its development. There is in the volume abundant
evidence to justify the conviction that our ancestors were God-fearing and
. God-serving people, who through the ages steadily walked honestly before
men and humbly before God.
There is also ample warrant for the claim that here in America, by rigid
adherence to the homely virtues of honesty, frugality and industry, they have
contributed only good to the country, and have left a record sacredly signifi-
cant and worthy of unstinted praise and noble emulation.
By intermarriage the Brumbaugh family is closely identified with our
worthy families, like the Groves, the Boyers, the Fouses, the Garners, the
Hoovers, the Replogles, the Rineharts, the Studebakers, the Stutsmans, the
Winelands, etc., etc. To trace these related lines of family life up and down
the Piedmont Plateau, into the valleys between the Blue and the AUegheny
Mountains, into Virginia, and out over the boundless plateaus of the West,
and even along the Pacific coast, was an heroic effort and added to the task of
the author additional difficulties. These labors have been notably well done,
and the result is most satisfactory. These groups, like the strictly " Brum-
bach " families here enumerated, are among the sturdy stock whose unflagging
zeal and industry are alike commendable.
It is worth much to be a member of any family whose achievements are
so memorable. It is worth more to add to the lustre of the family name by
living under the more favored skies of today a life as ideally worthy as that of
our fathers. To honor them best demands of us the same noble enterprise m all
industrial, social, intellectual, and religious endeavor.
A somewhat extended acquaintance with other family biographies leads
me to say that the author of this volume has done his work exceptionally well.
It is a monumental effort. I may be pardoned a personal reference. The in-
herent strength and virility of the family I think is best shown by the leading
part it took in the intellectual revival of the family at the close of the 19th
century. Around the story of the founding of religious papers, colleges, and
professional careers, the family name rests like a halo. In that splendid
galaxy, whose example has been guidance and inspiration to the writer no one
in the family is held in more reverent regard than the father of the author, my
uncle, Dr. Andrew Boelus Brumbaugh [E226]. Others wrought with him and
wrought splendidly, but « Uncle Doctor " was pioneer and inspiration to thou-
sands. I humbly record my deep sense of obligation to him and to those who
with such great faith, wrought with him in the valley of the Juniata and with
such phenomenal success.

The spirit of the father animates the son. It may well be that when God
writes a full record it will be found that the loyalty of the author to his father
will be set down as the animating and sustaining influence that sent the son
with unflagging zeal into an enterprise of such significance to the family, and
of such signal service to his kind.

THE
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
ABBREVIATIONS AND EXPLANATIONS.
To facilitate identification and description the reader will find preceding
each proper name (rarely following) a capital letter and a number in a
bracket, thus: [Al] + Gerhard1 Brumbach, or [CI] + Johann Jacob1
Brumbaugh. The Immigrant ancestors3 are designated by capital letters,
practically in the order of their arrival, and all in the same line of descent bear
the same letter in bracket. A cross, +, following the bracket, and preceding
the name of the individual, indicates that at its numerical place further along
in the volume additional details are given — omission of the cross means that
details are unobtained. The superior figure over the given, or Christian, name
indicates the generation of the individual in America.
In each series, [A], [B], [C], etc., the Immigrant is marked 1, the chil-
dren are given consecutive numbers 2, 3, 4, etc., and in each succeeding genera-
tion the numbering is carried through the given series and generation taking
all the children of the first male child, next all the children of the second male
child, then of the third male child, etc. In the case of female children, their
descendants appear numbered in Roman characters, i, ii, iii, etc. ; letters of the
alphabet, a, b, c, etc.; figures (1), (2), (3).
Special Note.— The children of [E2] + JACOB* BRUMBAUGH are
numbered throughout the generations, then the children of [E3] + CONRAD2
BRUMBAUGH commence with [E1700],b the children of [E4] + JO-
HANNES2 BRUMBAUGH commence with [E2900],0 and the children of
[E5] + GEORGE2 BRUMBAUGH commence with [E3000].d
The individual ancestry is given at the commencement of each sketch in
parenthesis, following the name, permitting quick and definite backward refer-
ence in the section, thus: [E743] + Gaius Marcus0 Brumbaugh, M.D. ;
([E226] Andrew Boelus5, M.D., [E68] Jacob4, [E13] George3, [E2] Jacob2,
Johannes Heinrich1). Only by such an arrangement is it possible to determine
precise ancestry in our many families, having so many individuals of the same
given names, and in some instances with change of the surname.

THE FOREIGN ORIGIN OF BRUMBACH FAMILIES; PRINCIPAL
RECORDS THUS FAR DISCOVERED ; COATS OF ARMS ; ETC.
The name is of German origin, and is found in both German and Swiss
records with "u" and "o" frequently interchangeably. There is a French
branch of the old family, with altered colors in its coat of arms, but retaining
the main features of the same. This investigation as to the French families is
incomplete.
"Brum" is apparently a contraction of "Brummen," meaning noisy or
roaring, sometimes humming, and "bach," a brook. The name in the first
instance described an ancestor by locality, a common old method of designation.
Owing to the general difficulty experienced by persons unfamiliar with German
pronunciation, names ending in "bach" usually became "baugh" upon the
landing of the immigrant, and in his deeds. The variations "Brumback,"
"Brownbaugh," "Brownback," etc., had local origin. Whether written with
the more prevalent "u'? or "u," or "o," it was pronounced with the long Ger-
man "oo" as in moon, or more rarely with the short "u" sound as in good.
"Brambach" and the older "Prampach" are mentioned elsewhere* — note
especially the discussion based upon the cloister records at Brombach, etc.
Whenever the German speaking ancestor executed deeds, and other legal
papers, we find that the English scribe in America usually wrote the name
"Broombaugh," or "Brombaugh." In the case of [Al] Gerhard1 Brumbach
(who seems not to have written his name), the difficulties were greater, and the
name in the third generation became "Brownback." [D2] Widow1 Brombach
easily became "Brumback." The descendants of [Gl] Hermanus Emanuel1
Brumbach in the main retain that spelling. An error once made in an impor-
tant deed or other important paper, the ancestor sometimes simply made the
small change in his name so as to conform to the erroneous writing of the
name.b
A careful study of the reproduced immigrant lists, or ship papers, will
show that the Brumbach-Brombach immigrants, whose signatures have been
preserved, wrote good German script, even paying attention to the umlat, or
distinction for u — see [CI], [El], etc. This fact gives value to the hope that
somewhere in Germany and Switzerland we shall yet find that the ravages of
"See pp. 6, 22, 23.
"This occurred with Ulysses S. Grant, and with thousands of soldiers in all the wars, etc.

the "Thirty Years' War" have spared early and historically valuable family
records.
There evidently occurred a general dispersion of the various foreign
branches "of the Brumbach families. Extended investigations have been made
in various parts of Germany and Switzerland, and a portion of the results
from this search is herein presented to form the basis for a more general inves-
tigation/

PLACE NAMES OR THEIR DERIVATIONS IN "ER" AS FAMILY

The mere name of a place, if used as a family name, has been shortened
from "von." As soon as family names began to be extensively used, the incon-
aOne celebrated author advised the compiler not to attempt anything beyond the land-
ing of the immigrants. It is hoped that other discoveries may be forwarded to him by those
interested in the definite tracing of the ancestral lines, and that a small supplemental volume
may be the result. The foreign search is being continued.

venience of the "von" in the structure of the sentence must have been felt, and
it was simply omitted. Of this class is
dictus Brambach, 1265.
Heinricus dictus Branbach de Rotenlein, 1291.
The Brombachs of to-day correspond to the latter.
On emigrating from the place Brombach (earlier Branbach, etc.) to Basel
and vicinity, the people took the name of the place from which they came,
which subsequently clung to them as the family name.
Herr Wernher der vogit von Branbach (Herr Wernher the governor of
Branbach); Schultheiss (mayor) zur mirrum (? — illegible), Basel, 1207 (or
1287?) ; Johans der vogt von Brambach (Johans the governor of Brambach),
1299; dicta Vogetin de Brambach (called Governess of Brambach — governor's
wife), (Basel) ; Willeburg Vogetin de Brambach (Willeburg, Governess of
Brambach), belonging to the nobility, according to Socin.
(Beginning with the tenth century, the "von" is regarded as the mark of
nobility.)
THE NAME VON BRUMBACH, BRUMBACH, BROMBACH.
The names Brumbach, Brombach, are not mentioned in the other name
books :
Fbrstemann : Altedeutches Namenbuch.
Steub : Oberdeutsche Familiennamen.
Villmar : Namenbuchlem.
From Socin's statements and investigations it seems to be definitely estab-
lished that an extensive family of the name "Brambach," "Brombach," "Brum-
bach" took their name from the ancient settlement in the Wiesenthal valley,
called "Brombach." They adopted the name of the place.
"Brombach im Wiesenthal. Ein Beitrag zur Heimatkunde von Pfarrer
Mulrow in Altenheim, Lahr, 1905,"° is an interesting volume descriptive of
the ancient town and castle. The map herein reproduced shows the locality
of Brombach, Bombach, Beuggen, Minseln, Basel, etc.
Native farmers of the name Brombach yet live near Beuggen, and per-
sons of that name in Baden trace their ancestry to the vicinity of Basel, on
both sides of the Rhine.
Basilar Brombach and others at Basel came from Rheinfelden, Minseln,
Nordschwaben and Karsan — all about two hours' walking distance apart.
"Presented to the compiler by Mr. Carl Brombach, Karlsruhe, Baden.

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
Those families remaining at Minseln,* Nordschwaben and Karsan remained
Catholic in the Reformation period, while those at Rheinfelden became Prot-
estants— under different governments."
The inhabitants of Rheinfelden early left the Catholic religion, became
Protestants, and later Altkatholiken (old Catholics, or reformers), which they
remain. These inhabitants suffered greatly and were bitterly persecuted,
causing most of the inhabitants to emigrate during the eighteenth century —
the Brombachs-Brumbachs then emigrated.
In Beuggen and in Rheinfelden, during the middle ages, there was a
Deutsch-Ordens Commend or association which owned much property, and the
records contain the name Brombach.
Hans Brombach, according to the records of Rheinfelden, served as
Mayor, 1536-1543, and died 1545— three Mayors of the name Brombach are
there mentioned in the records.
EXTRACTS FROM "BROMBACH IM WIESENTAL— PFARRER MUL-
ROW,"c (LAHR, 1905).
"For the identity of 'Prampahch' with the Brombach of to-day we had
offered the records of the cloisters. We could prove the same through the
shifting of the consonant sounds (Grimm's Law) in the Old-Middle and
New-High German. In the record from the eighth century the place is called
'Prampahch,' in those of the twelfth century 'Brambach,' and in the sixteenth
century 'Brombach.' That is etymologically exactly according to the law of
the language, and not one link is missing in the chain of sound shifting. And
what does the name mean? There was a word in the time of Charlemagne
which was spelled prama, in the time of the Crusades brdme, and at the time of
Luther bram and brom, and this means a 'long, pointed stalk.' It appears
with 'a' (bram) in North Germany yet in two forms: The top-most and thin-
nest part of a mast is called 'bram segel' ; and also the awlwort or broom they
call there 'bram' + +. The same etymologic relationship, only botanically
applied, is our brombeer stranch (blackberry bush). Thus then Brombach has

'Bronnenbach'(a brook of springs)? Its explanation would be very nice if
Brombach were a newer place without old records. If its name came from the
bubbling springs then it must have been called 'Brunnebach' in the Middle
Ages, and in the old High-German 'Bruno-pach.' But that sounds different
from 'pram,' so we stay by the first explanation." "
"From the year 786 'till the year 1113 we do not find Brombach men-
tioned in the records. How in the meantime has the power of the Kaiser
diminished, and that of the Pope increased ! How much nearer has the influ-
ence of the cloister forced itself to the Wiesenthal in the 11th century, since
the mighty house of God, St. Blasien, was established by the Benedictines and
its despotism and ban have spread out of the quiet Alb valley over the moun-
tains and valleys 'till (it reached) the Rhine itself ."b
". . . The ratifications . . . followed 44 yrs later, on June 8,
1157, through Pope Hadrian IV. . . . On Apr. 26, 1173, Pope Calixt
III ratified the contract for 71 places, Pope Alexander III the same on Mch.
6, 1179, and Bishop Hermann on June 29, 1189. In all these writings the
name of our village has been changed according to the rules of the shifting of
the sounds. From the old High German Prampahch has come the middle
High German Brambach, only once Brambac."0
"Kaiser Rudolph (von Hapsburg) was victorious. He captured and de-
stroyed fortress Reichenstein and caused a terrible slaughter among the in-
habitants. At that time, about 1270, the persecuted knights seem to have
come over to Brombach and established a firm hold in a hiding place between
the meadow and two streams running by. From the ruins and traditions one
can learn that the castle was a real building about 45 meters long by 35 meters
wide. On its four corners stood out great towers and the whole was sur-
rounded with moats. "d
". . . We have two entries in the church records:
"In the year 1676 this village of Brombach, during the French war, was
burned and reduced to ashes till about 7 houses left ; and further in a burial
account a marginal note says : 'Brombach burned and reduced to ashes except
a very few houses.' "e "On the 29th of June, 1678, the Rottler Castle went
up in flames after the enemy had found the entrance by means of a traitor."1

could not make progress because of the continuous dangers and demands of
war, but in the second half of the century there was lasting peace. It re-
quired, however, a long time until the living conditions were made better, and
until the number of inhabitants was a little increased."1
The general locality of Brombach is interesting for other reasons. "In
Warmbach, Herthen, Wyhlen, and Grenzach have also been found traces of
former Roman culture, — on the other side of Dinkelberg they disappear almost
entirely. Only at Minseln they found in 1898 fragments of a Roman two-
handled urn which had a narrow neck." Glaciers repeatedly covered the re-
gion, coming from Norway and Sweden and from the Swiss Alps. In a cavern
near Wunzingen skeletons of men were found with horn weapons made in the
crudest manner.
From the 13th to the 17th century there were six large floods in the valley
of the Wiese ( Wiesenthal), as chronicled at Basel.
KIRCH BROMBACH.
Seutter's map of 1740 and an unidentified map of about 1800 in the
Library of Congress show "Kirch Brombach" in Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany,
near "Konig N. of Erbach, and S. E. of Darmstadt in Provinz Starkenberg,
near a river emptying into the Main at Obenberg.
KIRCHBROMBACH.
In the German Official R. R. Guide on line No. 246 (Frankfort-Eberbach)
61.4 Km. from Darmstadt, is "Mumling-Grumbach." On the same line 67.5
Km. from Darmstadt is "Zell," the station nearest "Kirch-Brombach" —
"Kirchbrombach," 1 Km. distant — midway between Darmstadt and Heidel-
berg.
K. Gerhard, Pfarrcr Evangelisches Pfarramt Kirch-Brombach, Gr. Hes-
sen, in June, '07, reported that the Kirchenbuch in existence contains no Brom-
bach names.
A few miles further E. near Werthein, there is another village named
Brumbach.
Tieffenau, hamlet in Baden, near Switzerland, where Franz Leopald lived,
has copy of Brumbach coat of arms.
The church registers of Sinzheim and Kappel-Windeck will probably fur-
nish interesting details. There are also three more communities carrying the
name Brombach in Hessen and Hessen Nassau (Taunus).b

VON BRUMBACH.
Brombach, village in the Bezirksamt Loerrach. Matthias Reich, Knight,
sold the castle, which was destroyed by earthquake on the 18th day of the 10th
month, 1356, to the Bishop of Basel in 1294 and received it from him as a
"lehen" (feud under feudal law). Heinrich von Brombach was in 1113 wit-
ness to a Document of the Bishop of Basel for St. Blasien. Marquardus de
Brumbach, 1164, was witness to a Document of Emperor Friedrich I for the
Church of St. Thomas in Strassburg. Count Heinrich, Herr zu Veldeuz
(Squire of Veldeuz), documented in 1292 that Ulrich von Briinebach and
Kiinteli, his brother, have sold to the Johanniter in Freiberg 1289 a piece of
property in Kenzingen. Cunrad von Brunnebach, witness in 1299. Jungfrau
(maid) Grede von Brunnebach in year 1356. Ulrich von Buernebach 1380.
Junker (young nobleman) Barthel von Buernebach 1430. Ursula von Brunne-
bach, widow of the Hans Brenner von Winterbach 1446. Hans von Brumbach
had 1424 a quarrel over his "Lehen" located in the valleys of Arnsbach and
Brinsbach, of which "Lehen" he should renounce per verdict by a "Mannen-
gericht" (feudal court) for an indemnification of 240 florins subject to inter-
ests of 12 florins from the hundred; another agreement was reached regarding
this "Lehen" in 1466. Those von Brumbach were "Lehensleute" (feudal de-
pendants) of the House Austria | : Kolzennos :| of the Markgraf von Baden,
Graf (Count) von Moers-Saarweden, Graf von Fuerstenberg, of the Herren
von Geroldseck ( : Stonehouse and estate with garden in Oberwila 1476-1679 :)
of Schwassburg, etc. To Strassburg they came by marriage.
A certain Maria von Brumbach was, according to genealogical tables,
wife of Hans Jacob von Muellenheim-Reichenberg.
HARTMANN1 von BRUMBACH, feudal dependant at Geroldseck, died
1434, married .
Johann2 von Brumbach lived 1434-1493 at Oberweir, where he held a stone
house and an estate in Dependence at Geroldseck, 1457 in Dependence at
Furstenberg, 1470 in Dependence of Geroldseck (as his brothers-in-law are
mentioned in 1457 Friedrich Widergruen von Staufenberg, and Matthias Bock
von Staufenberg) married to Ursula (alias Anna) von Digesheim 1467.
Children (3) :

Quirinus Conradus Henricus a Brumbach, canonicus capitularis ecclesiae
Moguntinae, 1629, mentioned in the preface of Wuerdtwein's Nova Sub-

the Court at Buhl. 1336-1346 he is mentioned repeatedly in documents of the
monastery Frauenalb pertaining to the estate Einsiedeln; he carried and used
no seal of his own. His sons were Johann, Peter and Bastian. Kathanna,
Hans Brumbach's widow, donated a "Jahrzeit" for her husband in 1360 m the

"NOBLES AND PATRICIANS AT BASEL FROM THE 13TH TO THE 15TH
CENTURY.""
At the meeting of the Historians' and Antiquarians' Society at Basel, February 3, Dr.
August Burckhardt delivered a discourse on "Nobles and Patricians at Basel from the 13th
to the 15th century." The questions of descent and of displacements of families were illus-
trated by striking examples, which at the same time prove how little agreement there is be-
tween tradition and history. The original nobility was of high and low degree. Among the
fcrmer were the Counts of Honberg, whom we meet with at an early date as governors of
our city. A peculiar process is observed in the Von Falkenstein family. One line of it re-
nounced the title of count; Count Rudolf, marrying below his rank, caused his line to be
deprived of knighthood; afterward that line regained its insignia and belonged once more to
the high nobility. A similar renunciation occurred in the family to which Bishop Heinrich
belonged, whose administration extended from 1262 to 1274. Neuenburg was the name of the
family, and one of its lines, too, renounced the title of count, but assumed it again later on.
In the beginning of the 13th century we meet with the free lords Von Rainstein. Here, too,
we find two lines, one of which rises higher and higher until it becomes extinguished; bishops
and mayors are to be found in its ranks. The other line, through marriages with subordinate
officials, descends to the ranks of the lower nobility, so that members of the same House are
to be found in the most diverse circumstances. The most distinguished of all were the
Lords of Eptingen. Their original possessions were Eptingen and Diegten, and they man-
aged to acquire one lordship after the other. As early as 1262 we find an Eptingen as gov-
ernor of Basel, and other shortly after as mayor.
While the rural nobility, such as the lords Von Eptingen, Von Biedertal, Von Lbrrach,
Von Rothberg, etc., transferred their residence to the city, the urban nobility moved to the
country, lost the consciousness of their urban origin, and called themselves after their new
residence. In this way, born city knights became new country knights. Such was the case
with the Von Hertenberg, Von Neuenstein, Von Barenfels families. The history of the Von
Barenfels family can be traced. Its ancestor was Ludwig the Mercer, citizen of Basel, and
a member of the Council. The development of his family shows what was then possible in the
social liner^The family begins with the Mercer and rises steadily. Ludwig's son Konrad,
rising through his wealth and ability, is found more and more frequently in the higher ranks,
till he acquires the knightly fief of Hertenberg, and calls himself Noble Knight. Konrad
"This digest of an interesting discourse by Dr. August Burckhardt, Feb. 3, 1910, a
prominent European authority upon genealogical matters, is given because of its bearing
upon the numerous families von Brombach.

uses the seal which was afterward used by his descendants. However, his new acquisition
estranged him from his home. The development cannot be traced everywhere with the same
accuracy The Von Neuenstein family in the Jura, for example, are already knights at their
first appearance-in the chronicles of Matthias Von Neuenburg. To this family belonged a
mayor by the name of Rudolf, whose daughter became the ancestors of the Von Reinach
Johann Von Barenfels is for us the first of his line. He filled the important office of
Episcopal procurator. His son Konrad occupied the same position The family is found
in possession of the highest offices, so that we are probably dealing with a line of early prom-
inence-originally from Klein Basel. Their ancestors are probably to be sought in the Gov-
ernors Von Brombach, and there may have been some kinship with the Lords of Lorrach. It
is true that the seal of the Von Brombach family shows a crawfish (Krebs) and this seems
to contradict that hypothesis. However, even the men continued to use the old seal of their
family, so that in this case (zem) Krebs would be the old name of the Von Brombach and
the Von Barenfels families.
Among the knights we find the ministerial (official) families, who were in the service
of the bishop and performed the functions of chamberlain, treasurer, butler equerry, master
of the kitchen, holding them by hereditary right. They took their names from their offices.
The consciousness of this origin remained alive, as shown by the struggle between the Psit-
ticher and Sterner. On the one side we find the Monch and Schaler families, the most dis-
tinguished of the official nobility; their adherents are the Marschalk, Kammerer, Reich and
other families, called by the name of their office or by their original surname, or by the
name of their original home. Reich von Reichenstein-"Reich" is here a mere supernumerary
name-Steinlin and Vorgassen are originally related. All three have the same image on
their seals. Vorgassen is the old name. The separation of the three lines must have taken
place at an early date. Heinrich Steinlein, an official patrician, owning estates at Blotz-
heim, who had not resided long in Basel, is confirmed as first mayor of Basel. His successor
is a Reich The line of the Steinlin became extinct at an early date.
Beside the knights who were incumbents of the offices of the episcopal court and of the
city offices, we find the Achtburger, the real patricians. They rose from the ranks of the
merchants their development began with Kramer and Wechsler (mercers and brokers)
There is a remarkably rapid change in the lines of descent; marriages between the Acht-
burgers and the knights effaced the barriers. Few were derived from the ancient crafts-
maul class. Usually they belong to the four lordly guilds of housemates, , ^rchants wine
dealers and mercers. The Zum Luft family were originally saddlers, the Offenburg family
were originally druggists. The change of constitution in 1515 put an end to this develop-
menA peculiar state of affairs is presented by the Zschekkenburlin family. They were active
business^ men, controlling a degree of wealth unusual for those days They were unwilling to
loin the Achtburgers by giving up their trade and thus becoming idlers without occupation.
Tney also abstained from entering on a kind of development resembling that of the Fuggers.
The Offenburg family pursued the opposite course. The first of them to become a citizen
of Basel was "the son of Albrecht, Henman Offenburg (borr , in 1379) He became ^unedor
of the Saffron Guild to which he belonged as druggist. He held the office of chief Guild
Master and passed a large part of his life in travel, both in the course of business ; and of
office His diplomatic intelligence was esteemed far beyond the confines of the city. In
H2 i he gave up his trade and his guild right and entered the high chamber at Achtburger
Sigismund conferred knighthood on him. As early as 1396 (when not yet 17 years old) he
married Anna Kupfernagel, and thus did not marry within his rank.
The further development of the lines of descent is influenced by the intermarriage be-
tween nobility and burghers in the 15th century. While the nobles were attracted by the
wealth of the burghers, social ambition acted as a stimulus on the other side, inducing mar-
riages which in most cases ended unhappily.

are of interest, especially the former. Not only the resemblance
in name, the use of the double eagle in the shield as in "von Brum-

tocracy (Bernard von Prampach, who died in 1314 as Prince —
Bishop of Passau") had Mansfield, who was Justice in Siegen, etc.,
etc., whence came Milcard Brumbach in April, 1714 (see Germanna

gation.
THE COAT OF ARMS.
von BRUMBACH — D'argent a Paigle eploye a deux tetes de sinople, becque
d'or, membre de gueules. Cimier: deux cols de cygne d'argent,
becque de gueules. Lambrequins: d'argent et de sinople.
Or, in technical ( ?) English, as follows :
von BRUMBACH — Argent, a double-headed eagle displayed vert, beaked or,
membered gules. Crest: two swan's heads argent, beaked gules.
Lambrequin: argent and vert.
Comparing with Siebmacher's drawings, the arms are, in detail, as follows :
In the shield, which is silver, the charge is a green double-headed eagle
displayed, the beak colored gold, and the talons colored red. The two heads
look away from each other. The eagle is the old German heraldic convention-
alized form. Crest: two silver swan's heads and necks, one behind the other,
with red bills, both heads facing in the same direction, to the right (i.e., to the
left of the drawing). They are of the conventionalized heraldic form, with
protruding tongues. The necks are settled solidly upon a three-barred hel-
met, either profile or affronte (hard to determine, but most probably affronte;
cf. Siebmacher). It may be that upon the helmet there is a marquis' coronet
(i.e., a coronet with three strawberry leaves and two pearls showing), from
which in turn emerge the two swan's heads. Lambrequin: silver and green.
From the drawing in Siebmacher, it is perhaps somewhat florid.
The fact that the family in France has a black instead of a green eagle,
and also possibly a single-headed one ( at least according to sources dated later
than 1884 — cf. V; also II, III, and IV), may be due to a change, voluntary or
involuntary, adopted by the family, or the French branch of it, when it went to
France; or at least when it became a part of the French nobility. The later
omission of mention of two heads, as well as other details (as the gold beak,
•Pages 8, 239-243. See also pp. 3, 6, 22, for discussion as to names.
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
etc.), is probably explained on the basis of careless oversight on the part of the
compilers when copying the descriptions.
In view of the probability that the family was early connected with Basle
and Alsace, at least during the centuries within which all noble families as-
sumed arms, there is reason to believe that the above description carefully
arrived at by constructive criticism, is to be relied upon as probably au-
thentic. . , T
THE EAGLE.— The bird of Heraldry before all others is the eagle. Its
earliest and chief popularity was in Germany, where it was adopted by the
empire and by many of the principal sovereign princes. Its earliest appear-
ance as an heraldic charge was in 1136. From about this time it was borne
not only by the emperor and king of the Romans, but also by the princes who,
as vicars of the empire, were charged with the government or defense of the
empire's provinces. Under Frederick L, Barbarossa, 1152-1189, the eagle had
become the recognised standard of the Holy Roman Empire. The empire had
double incentive for adopting this charge. For the eagle, the Bird of Jove
was not only the imperial emblem of the old Romans, and hence a natura
adoption of the later Roman empire; but it was also, by tradition, the symbol
of the fourth evangelist, imparting spiritual significance to its use by the
Holy Roman emperors. Thus as affecting the Empire and its princes, the
earie lent force to their claims to an ancient succession of both temporal and
spiritual imperial power. The origin of the double-headed eagle is mooted.
But a probable explanation seems to be (cf. Nisbet), that, upon decline of the
Roman empire in the East, the emperors of the Western empire joined the two
eagles together with their heads separate, to indicate a double sovereignty
probably claimed by them.
"The most usual method of differencing in Germany was > bj r alt erat ion of the tinctures

RANK OF THE FAMILY.— In all countries and at all times the condi-
tion of society has been one of inequality. Upon this fact, in brief, is Heraldry

founded. In times of medieval armor bearing, nobles bore shields that were
blazoned, because they were worthy of notice. The peasant or plebean bore
his shild without blazon, being considered unworthy of notice. There were
many earmarks about heraldic devices by which the rank of the bearer was
indicated. Probably, however, especially on the continent, the rules were as
often honored by the breach as by the observance. So if any significance
attaches to the coronet used in the BRUMBACH arms charged with a spring-
ing deer, the family von BRUMBACH was of the rank of marquis. The same
is indicated by the barred helmet. The barred helmet (even though in profile)
indicates a very high rank — a rank anywhere above that of knight. Marquis
— originally the title of the princes who, as lords of the marches, were charged
with the defense of the imperial provinces — is a title of honor next in dignity
to that of duke. The title given a marquis in the style of the heralds is "most
noble and potent prince."
MOTTO. — In continental heraldry the motto is seldom or never found.
Accordingly no motto is likely to be found with the BRUMBACH arms.
THE PREFIX von. — When a German is ennobled or made a gentleman
of coat armor, he acquires the right to use the territorial prefix von. (At the
same time, the Dutch van means practically nothing.) Von is used in the
sense of "of" or "from," to be followed by the name of the estate or territory
over which the possessor is lord. Thus the early HEINRICH von BRUM-
BACH, of 1113 (or his predecessors or successors), was lord of an estate, dis-
trict, or territory by the name of BRUMBACH. Beginning with the tenth
century "von" is regarded as the mark of nobility.

Throughout the nation there is a commendable fostering of "Home Com-

Brief accounts are herewith given of the first and last meetings of the Reunion
by Descendants of [E9] Conrad3 Brumbaugh in Ohio, the Brumbaugh-Rine-
hart Reunion in Ohio, the Gerhard Brumbach Memorial Association in
Pennsylvania, and of the Brumbaugh Reunion also in Pennsylvania. There
are numerous other organizations amongst the closely allied families, but lack
of space prevents mention of them.

BRUMBAUGH.
This Reunion has occurred annually since 1894 upon the third Saturday
of August. "It was urged by a few of my sisters, and intended for brothers
and sisters and their families, but was at once enlarged to include all the
Brumbaughs and their friends. "a At the first meeting the late [E344] -\- An-
drew5 Brumbaugh was selected president, but declined, as he desired to give
an address upon the family history, and also to devote all his time to gathering
needed facts from those in attendance. Franklin Dulebahn was the first presi-
dent and Samuel Brumbaugh the first secretary-treasurer. [E344] Andrew5
Brumbaugh served as historian during his lifetime.

About two hundred and fifty were present at the basket dinner, which was
served at 11 :30 o'clock, on tables under the trees. During dinner and immedi-
ately afterwards photographs of the company were made.
The exercises of the afternoon were held under a large tent. After a
brief address of welcome by Noah Webster Rinehart [E64-x], and the devo-
tional exercises which consisted of the reading of the First Psalm and prayer
by Elder Andrew5 Brumbaugh [E344], the following program was rendered:

FIRST BRUMBAUGH REUNION, SNYDER'S GROVE, MARTINS
BURG, BLAIR CO., PA., JUNE 22, 1906.
This "Reunion" embraces mainly the counties of Bedford, Blair, and Huntingdon,
although in the estimated two thousand persons who attended this first reunion many sec-
tions of Pennsylvania and adjoining States were represented.* "The day was everything one
could wish for. No cloud appeared to mar the pleasures of the day. The park itselt was
a place of beauty; and the cool inviting air of Martinsburg had much to do with the enjoy-
ment of every one.
"The meeting was called to order by the chairman, Moses Robert5 Brumbaugh [E 3168],
of Henrietta. 'All Hail the Power of Jesus Name' was sung by the audience. Rev. Henry
Boyers Brumbaugh [E 276], of Juniata College, Huntingdon, conducted the devotional exer-
cises, reading from the 21st chapter of Revelations.
"A quartette, composed of Messrs. Martin Potes Brumbaugh [C 328], Lloyd Replogle,
Emmert Replogle and Samuel Nicodemuss Brumbaugh [E 3100], sang 'We Must Answer to
Our Names,' which was much appreciated by the audience.
"The address of welcome was made by Elder George Wineland* Brumbaugh [E 3016],
of Fredericksburg, Pa. He said in part:
'"Mr Chairman, fellow-kinsmen, neighbors and friends: It is with a high appreciation
of the honors you have conferred upon me that I appear before you to extend a hearty
welcome to all who have assembled here on this happy occasion. And while there are many
here who, if called upon, could have performed the part better than myself, I am sure there
is no one among you who is prouder of his ancestry than I am. We have come here to-day
as a happy, united family.
'"The family is a divine institution. In the morning of time, when the all-wise Creator
crowned His work by giving to one of His creatures the attributes of intelligence, He at
once found that the work was incomplete and uttered the general truth, that it was not good
for man to be alone. Woman was created and given to man, the sharer of his ; joys and
. sorrows, trials and triumphs, to keep watch with him in all the experiences of life. 1 hey
were made social creatures. There was put into each heart a yearning for the companion-
ship of the other. And when two hearts are thus united, the sweetest and happiest joys of
life are attained. Thus the benevolent Creator not only instituted marriage, but He Himselt
presided at the first marriage altar. Hence we have the family, a divine institution It is
the first as well as the greatest institution on earth. Father, mother, son, daughter, brother
and sister are names that speak to the heart and call forth the highest and best impulses
of which humanity is capable.
'"Keep the family pure and virtuous and the nation and church are filled with good,
stron-g men and women. Corrupt the family and the church is gone and the world is tilled
with beings of a lower rank. _
'"Much of the future is with you. We hope your coming here will increase your faith
and hope and zeal, and make your life better and more useful because you have been here.
We welcome our young men and women. We refer to you with pride as examples of virtue
and sobriety. We welcome your coming here to mingle with your kindred, to light your
torches at their altars so that you may go out better equipped to help keep the world better
because you have lived in it.
"'We welcome the children, God bless them, the future is theirs.
'"We welcome the strangers that are within our gates. We appreciate the honor you
have done us by coming here. Our ancestors were people of large hospitality Their hearts
and altars were free to strangers. The noble grace still lives in the hearts of their children
and let us hope will continue to live as long as human hearts need sympathy and love, and
if your being with us will afford you as much joy as it gives us to have you here, it will
certainly make a day of pleasant memories to all.
" 'We want this to be a day of joy to all. And as we go out to face the scenes of the
unknown and untried future, we know not what is awaiting us, what is written on the scroll
aFrom Martinsburg Herald, June 29, '06.

of fate. Though we may not draw the veil aside that hides the mysterious future and see
the joys or sorrows that await us, we can say with the poet:
" ' "Let fate do her worst, there are relics of joy,
Bright dreams of the past which it cannot destroy,
Which come in the night time of sorrow and care,
And bring back the features that joy used to wear.
Long, long be my heart with such memories filled,
Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled,
You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will,
But the scent of the roses clings 'round it still." '
"The response to this address was given by David Stuckey4 Brumbaugh [C76], of
Roaring Spring. He said in part:
'"I am glad to respond to the elegant address of welcome. We must make this day
the best one of our lives by clasping again the hands of old friends and those of new ones.
The objects of these reunions are to know each other and renew the family ties. Almost
every State in the Union has our representatives and we are not ashamed of our name,
since it is a great one.
"He also gave much history concerning the early Brumbaugh settlers, which was much
enjoyed.
"The meeting was then adjourned until 2:30 p. m.
"Dinner, a most important as well as enjoyable feature of the day, now occupied the
attention of every one. It was indeed a pretty sight to look over the park and see the
tables laden with their weight of good things, which the ladies of the Brumbaugh family
know how to prepare.
"The afternoon session was called to order by Vice-president Levi Brumbaugh^ Stoud-
nour [E3105-H]. 'O Think of a Home Over There' was sung by the audience, after which
the following officers were elected for the coming year:
"President, Dr. Martin Grovee Brumbaugh [E 682], superintendent of public schools of
Philadelphia; vice-president, Martin Pote5 Brumbaugh [C328], of Altoona; secretary, Miss
Lula Mays Brumbaugh [E 3107], of Clover Creek; treasurer, Samuel Nicodemus5 Brum-
baugh [E3100], of Altoona; music director, Henry Holsinger5 Brumbaugh [E3141], of
Defiance. This was followed by a quartette, 'Far Out on the Seas.'
"Dr. Andrew Boelus5 Brumbaugh [E226], of Huntingdon, next favored the audience
with an address in which he gave very good information concerning the Brumbaugh family.
He explained the origin of the Brumbaugh name, which means humming brook. Brum—
humming, baugh — brook.
"This address was followed, by a much appreciated solo by Mrs. Carrie Elizabeth"
(Hagey) Endsley [E3095-i], of New York City, entitled 'Nobody at All.'
"Short addresses were made by Charles Obers Brumbaugh [C368], of New Enterprise-
Levi Hoover5 Brumbaugh [E181], of New York City; Dr. F. A. Rupley, of Martinsburg'
and Rev. Geo. Boyer6 Brumbaugh [E225], of James Creek.
"Elder Geo. W. Brumbaugh, of Fredericksburg, and son S. N., of Altoona, then sang a
duet entitled 'The Old Ship Zion,' which was much appreciated by the audience.
"The committee on resolutions gave the following report: We, the committee appointed
by the chairman of the Brumbaugh reunion, present the following resolutions: First We
hereby express our appreciation for the very efficient manner in which the various commit-
tees rendered their services. Second— To the committee on music for its elaborate and well
prepared music. Third— To the organist and owner of the organ, and also to Mrs. Endsler
for the pleasing rendition of a solo. Fourth— To the owners of the Snyder park for the
use of the grove we extend our thanks. Fifth— To the friends of the organization for help-
ing to make the reunion a success. Rev. Henry Boyer Brumbaugh, L. B. Stoudner

38
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
the foregoing report of the exercises. It was the greatest day in the history of the local
Brumbaughs About a year ago Miss Bertha Brumbaugh first became interested in holding
a mSand among others, mentioned the matter to M. R. Brumbaugh,
at once took up the matter, and by their advocating a reunion, L. B. Stoudnour jomed m
the movement, which terminated in probably the largest reunion ever held in the Cove, and
the forming of a permanent organization.

"The Brumbaugh connection is one of the largest relationships in this part of the United
States With each succeeding generation they are becoming more and ^ more distinguished.
Among them are educators, lawyers, doctors, teachers, farmers, merchants, clerks, tradesmen,
and afe represented in nearly all the walks of life. Dr. Martin Groves Bmmbaugh [E _683],
who recently succeeded Dr. Edward Brooks to the superintendence of the schools of Phila-
delphia! is one of the most distinguished educators east of the Allegheny mount «ng Thj
founding of Juniata College at Huntingdon and the success and growth of that institution
are largely due to the energy of the Brumbaughs connected with the school.

BRUMBACH-BROMBACH IMMIGRANTS.*
[Al] Gerhard1 Brumbach arrived at Germantown, Pa., probably on the
sailing vessel Concord, Oct. 6, 1683, when there was but one house in Ger-
mantown. Descendants spell the name Brownback.*
[Bl] Georg1 Bombach arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., on the ship Samuel,
Capt. Percy, Dec. 3, 1740, from Rotterdam — "natives and late inhabitants of
the Palatinate upon the Rhine and places adjacent."
[CI] Johann Jacob1 Brumbach arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., on the ship
Nancy, Capt. Thomas Coatam, Aug. 31, 1750, from Rotterdam, and last from
Cowes.
[Dl] Johan Melchior1 Brombach arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., on the
ship Halifax, Capt. Thomas Coatam, Sept. 22, 1752, from Rotterdam, and
last from Cowes.
[D2] Widow1 Brombach passed from Pa. to Va. about 1760 ; descend-
ants spell the name Brumbach. The presumptive evidence is that she was
probably the widow of [Dl] Johan Melchior1.
"Milcard [Melchior] Brumbach— came into this country (Va.) to dwell
in the year 1714"— lived at Germanna, Va. (Recently discovered facts are
in Section D.)
[F2] Peter Brombach landed at Jamestown, Va., about 1770. His de-
scendants together with those of his brothers [F3] Charles, [F4] Paul, [F5]
William, and [F6] John, landing the same year at Jamestown, Va., are numer-
ous throughout Va., and especially throughout Ky.— they spell the name
Brombach, or Brumbach.
[El] Johannes Henrich1 Brumbach arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., on the
ship Neptune, Capt. Waire, Sept. 30, 1754, from Rotterdam, and last from
Cowes.
[E3] Conrad1 Brombach and [E4] Johannes1 Brombach arrived at
Philadelphia, Pa., on the ship Countess of Sussex, Capt. Thomas Gray, Oct. 7,
1765, sailing from Rotterdam.
[Gl] Hermanns Emanuel1 Brumbach arrived probably through Balti-
more about 1770. Descendants retain the spelling, except that one branch
(Va.) spells the name Brumbach and another (Ohio) spells it Brumbaugh (the
late Rev. Edmund Green Brumbaugh belonged to the latter family).
•Chronologically arranged, except for "Milcard" and the "Widow Brombach, and [F8]

GERMAN IMMIGRANTS

GERMAN IMMIGRANTS.
"To the German immigrants from Pennsylvania and the Palatinate, how-
ever, must be ascribed the largest share of honor in that wonderful development
of the fertile plains and valleys of Western Maryland which has added so much
to the general growth and prosperity of the State. As in other portions of the
country, so in Western Maryland, the German element has played an impor-
tant part from the earliest period of colonial history, and at the present day,
woven in by time with the general prosperity and progress, forms one of the
chief constituents of the industrial, agricultural, moral, and intellectual well-
being of Western Maryland, as well as of other portions of the State. Even
before Penn and his followers made their settlement upon the Delaware, certain
German Protestants, in quest of a refuge from religious oppression, had come
into the province and had been hospitably received. "a
"To the sturdy German stock that came to the Colony of Pennsylvania
(Md., Va., etc. — G. M. B.) in the first half of the eighteenth century we are
indebted for more of the initial influences that have made for the progress and
prestige of our American civilization than many historians record or know.""
"When they left the Fatherland which, with all its tender associations,
had grown to be cruel, and came to dwell under strange skies in a wilderness
with the wolf and savage they brought with them their Bibles." — Pennypacker.
CONESTOGA WAGON.
"Next to barn and dwelling-house the most important architectural
product of the Pennsylvania Germans is the great Conestoga wagon, which
Rush called the 'ship of inland commerce.' Before the advent of railroads
these were the chief means of transport between the farms and towns of Penn-
sylvania. In them the wheat, vegetables, fruit, and, alas, whiskey — which
often formed a side industry of many a farmer — were carried for miles to
Philadelphia. Says Rush : 'In this wagon, drawn by four or five horses of a
peculiar breed, they convey to market, over the roughest roads, 2000 and 3000
pounds' weight of the produce of their farms. In the months of September
and October it is no uncommon thing on the Lancaster and Reading roads to
meet in one day fifty or one hundred of these wagons on their way to Phila-
delphia, most of which belong to German farmers.' These teams were stately
objects in those times; owner and driver alike took pride in them and kept them
neat and trim. They consisted of five or six heavy horses, well fed and cur-

ried, wearing good harness, and sometimes adorned with bows of bells, fitted
so as to form an arch above the collar. These bells were carefully selected to
harmonize or chime, from the small treble of the leaders to the larger bass
upon the wheel-horses. The wagon body was necessarily built stanch and
strong, but by no means clumsy. Upon them the wheelwright and blacksmith
expended their utmost skill and good taste, and oftentimes produced master-
pieces of work, both in shape and durability. The running gear was invariably
painted red, and the body blue. (This did not apply amongst the G. B. B.,
Mennonites, etc.— G. M. B.) The cover was of stout white linen or hempen
material, drawn tightly over, shapely, fitted to the body, lower near the middle
and projecting like a bonnet in front and at the back, the whole having a
graceful and sightly outline.""
The wagon shown in Plate 15 is said to have been built by a Brum-
baugh in Frederick County, Md., a descendant of Johann Jacob1 Brumbaugh
[CI], but authentic information has not been secured on this point. Mr. B.
W. T. Phreaner, Hagerstown, Md., copyrighted the photograph. The
"schooner" is in service in Washington Co., Md., and illustrates the general
class of "prairie schooners" familiar throughout the west before the advent of
railroads. Our ancestors unquestionably used them in their overland mi-
grations.

NORTH WOODBERRY TOWNSHIP, PENNSYLVANIA.
"This township is the S. E. division of Blair Co. From the extinguish-
ment of the Indian title to lands in this region in 1758 to the time of the for-
mation of Bedford Co. in 1771, this bit of the vast domain of the common-
wealth was included within the boundaries of Cumberland, and from the latter
year until the erection of Blair in 1846 it formed part of Bedford + +• With
Tussey's Mountain on the east, it embraces a portion of the beautiful and
fertile region known as the Great or Morrison's Cove. Martinsburgh Borough
is situated in the northwest part. About 3 miles east of Martinsburg, near
Clover Creek, is the small village of Fredericksburg, otherwise known as Clover
Creek post office, southward from the latter place the hamlet known as Millers-
town, and in the southeastern part of the twp. is Henrietta, also a post office,
and the terminus of the Morrison's Cove branch of P. R.R." H h +
"About 1755 a colony of Dunkards, otherwise known as German Bap-
tists (G. B. B.), began to settle in the southern portion of the Cove; they
gradually worked their way northward, until many of them became residents
of the present twp. of North Woollberry, Taylor and Huston, and numbers
of their descendants hold possession to this day.
Early History. — It is an historical fact that the Great Cove, changed to
Morrison's Cove as early as 1770, which commences at Pattonsville, in Bed-
ford Co., and ends at Williamsburg, on the Frankstown Branch of the Juniata,
bounded by Dunning's and Lock Mts. on the west, and Tussey's Mt. on the
east, was settled by Scotch-Irish as early as 1749; but these lands were yet
owned by the Indians, and in answer to their prayers the bold squatters were
expelled by officials representing the Penn family. Nothing daunted, however,
many of them returned soon after and continued their improvements. Yet the
northern, or Blair Co. portion of the Cove, was almost unexplored until the
Penns made the new purchase in 1754."
"During the Indian wars of 1762 quite a number of murders were com-
mitted in the Cove, and many captives taken. + + + During the Great Cove
massacre, among others carried off was the family of John Martin (See p. 47).
This incursion was indeed a most formidable one, led by the Kings, Shingas and
Beaver in person. How many were killed there is no living witness to tell,
neither can we conjecture the number of persons taken. The following peti-
tion was sent to Council:
"August 13, 1762.

Sir, Yr Excellency's Most Humble Servt, Humbly & Passionately Be-
seeches Yr Beninger Compassion to Interpose Yr Excellencies Beneficent in
favor of Yr Excellencies Most Obedient & Dutiful Servt.
John Martin."
"In May, 1781, a band of marauding savages entered the cove and mur-
dered a man, woman, and two children, and took one man prisoner within a
mile of the fort of John Piper, who was then colonel of the county. At another
time several other prisoners were taken. It has also been related to us that
during one of these Indian forays a man named Houser and his son were
killed, and two children of the same family carried away into captivity. The
two first mentioned were buried on the farm of David Rice, in the present
township of Taylor."
"Soon after the close of the Revolutionary war, and the consequent cessa-
tion of Indian depredations, bona fide settlers swarmed into the cove, and it is
presumed that prior to 1790 all desirable lands had passed to individual own-
ership. + + + We are quite certain that among those who were here prior
to the beginning of the century now passing, or very soon thereafter, were the
Albrights, Allenbaughs, Blakes, Burkets, Bridenthals, Bowers, Brumbaughs,
Benners, Bulgers, Camerers, Conrads, Cowans, Deeters, Dillingers, Emricks,
Eveisoles, Faulkners, Flenners, Gensingers, Grabills, Hoovers, Holsingers,
Knees, Lowers, Looses, Longeneckers, Martins, Metzkers, Myerses, Moores,
Nicodemuses, Nisewangers, Oungsts, Puderbaughs, Rhodes, Roemers, Strayers,
Shoenfelts, Stoners, Skyleses, Stoufflers, Stoudenours, Smiths, Shifflers, Stone-
rooks, Tetwillers,a Winelands, and Zooks, besides many others -j- -f- -|-"b
""A remarkable early resident of the cove is John Detwiller, who lives just northeast of
Martinsburg. He was born in Lancaster Co., Pa., Sept. 25, 1789. His father finally removed
to Franklin Co., Pa., from whence John came to the cove in 1811. He was a shoemaker, as
was usual in those days, worked at his trade from "house to house." He tired of shoe-
making, he tells us, and became a cooper, at which he was quite successful, earning enough
money in a few years to buy a small farm. After various changes in location by selling and
buying farms, he located on the premises now occupied in 1868. He has been a successful
hunter. He killed 7 bears on Tussey's Mountain, and deer and turkeys without number.

son, is a grandfather. The name is written variously as Tetwiller and Detwiller."

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
"Among those who were settlers" (of Huston Twp., formed 1842, then
part of Woodberry Twp., Bedford Co., Pa.) "prior to the beginning of the
Revolution were Jacob and Conrad Brumbaugh, Harmonus, John, Jacob and
Henry Clapper, David Coughenour, Isaac Hutson, Christopher Hoover, Paul
and Jacob Rhodes, Philip Metzker, Jacob Smith and his son Jacob, Jr. ; James
Spencer (who lived on the premises now occupied by a Mr. Obenour), William
and Jno. Shirley, Christopher Shrom, Henry Wesour or Wisour, and doubtless
a number of others."
"During the years intervening between the close of the first struggle with
Great Britain and the year 1800, many other families had taken up their abode
in this portion of the Cove. Among those who were residents in 1800 we find
mentioned Christian, Leonard and John Acker, George, Jacob, John, John, Jr.,
and Conrad Brumbaugh, Emanuel Ludwig, David Coughenour, Abraham Ditch
(the latter two operating a grist- and saw-mill on Clover Creek), Caspar Dil-
linger (who owned a saw-mill), John and George Everhart, Nicholas Fouse
[E8], John, Matthew and Richard Hutson, Christian Hoover (who owned an
oil mill on Piney Creek), Abraham Longenecker, Philip Metzker, Samuel
Mobley, Harmon Obenour, Paul, Jacob and Christian Rhodes, James Spencer,
Jacob Sheets, Stoephel Shrom, Jacob Smith, Adam Sorrick (who then owned a
grist mill), Henry Solliday, Henry Wisour, and Jacob Wilhelm.
Among additional residents mentioned in 1810 were Joseph Everhart, Geo.
Foutz, Saml., Jno., Fredk., Wm., Jonathan, Martin and Jacob Hoover, Andrew
Metzker and Daniel Wiltrout." + +
(History of Blair Co., Pa., Huston Twp.— Africa, 1883, p, 122.)
"Early Residents. — When the Bedford Co. pioneers, chiefly Germans,
pushed out their settlements to the northward and westward during the years
immediately succeeding the close of the French and Indian war of 1756-63,
some of them located within the present limits of Taylor Twp. (Bedford Co.,
Pa.a). Thus we find that prior to 1775 Jacob Neff, the Dunkard miller + +,
the brothers Martin and Jacob Houser, Christian Hoover, and probably a few
others, were already here."
"After peace and quietness had been restored, other families located in
this part of the 'Cove,' and before the organization of Huntingdon Co., in
1787, John Brumbach, Daniel Ellrich, Christopher Markle, Abraham and
Jacob Plummer, Peter Hoover, who built the old log house near Jacob Shoen-
felt's present residence nearly 100 years ago, and Philip and Peter Stoner, who
"Until 1842 the territory now embraced by Taylor Twp. was partly in Woodberry, Hunt-
ingdon Co., and partly in North Woodberry, Bedford Co., Pa.

lived at the 'Mineral Spring,' were also counted as residents. After them, but
before the year 1800, came Jacob Shoenfelt, Sr., John Ullery, the miller (Neff's
successor at Roaring Spring), Edward Cowen, the Neterers, John and Adam
Lower, Fredk. Hartle, John Morgan, and Tobias Shiffler, who operated a tan-
nery prior to the year mentioned."
"The Shoenfelts (or Shanefelds, as the name was written a century ago)
are of German origin, and their ancestors of that name were among the first
settlers of Washington Co., Md. + + Jacob Shoenfelt was b near the banks
of the Antietam Creek, 3 miles distant from Hagerstown, Md., Sept. 9, 1792.
His father's name was Jacob also, and in 1795 he (Jacob, Sr.) removed with
his family from Md. to the locality now known as Sharpsburg, and settled upon
premises formerly occupied by John Brombach. The tract contained 400 a,
and it had been purchased of Brombach previously by Henry Shanefeld for his
son Jacob. H — (-"
"Jacob Shoenfelt, Sr., completed the stone house in Sharpsburg in 1802,
the log house adjoining it, still standing, having been erected by John Brom-
bach about 20 yrs. before. The venerable Jacob Shoenfelt, now 90 yrs. of age,
who never used glasses, and now reads fine print quite readily, still further in-
forms us that at the time his father came here from Md. and for some yrs.
after the only grist mills in the 'Cove' were those of John Snyder's at Pattons-
ville and John Ullery's at Roaring Spring. An old log mill, however, stood
where the Lower Maria Forge was afterward built. A man named Tracy had
owned it at an early day, afterwards one by the name of Stephens or Stephen-
son was its proprietor. Myers owned the Gap mill before George McKee
bought it."
"At the same time, too, i.e., about 1800, there was not a store in Mor-
rison's Cove. Wm. Davis was the justice of the peace. The early teaching was
all done in German ; indeed, Mr. Shoenfelt remarks that although he was a very
good reader and writer in German, he was 20 yrs. of age before he could count
in English. The Dunkards (G. B. B.) and Lutherans were the only religious
denominations. The former met for worship in their dwellings, the latter built
an early church near Replogle's Mill, in Bedford Co. The German Reformed
people came next; after them the Methodists. Christy Myers built the first
house in Sharpsburg."
(History of Blair Co., Pa., Taylor Twp.— Africa, 1883, p. 220.)
"The first permanent white settlers of Blair County, coming into the
southern end of Morrison's Cove about 1760 or earlier, are Tunkers, and that
was probably the first religious denomination to obtain a foothold in Blair
50
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
County territory. A Presbyterian minister by the name of Beatty preached
a sermon one Sunday at Beaver Dams, now called McCann's Mills, in 1756;
but it is likely that the Tunkers, who resided here, as above stated, held
religious services at a still earlier date, and that the congregation consisted of
residents of the Cove." *
I further glean from this history that about the year 1765 Jacob Neff, who
was a Tunker, built a mill where Roaring Spring is situated. His mill was
burned by the Indians, and rebuilt by him prior to the Revolution. Later, but
still long, long ago, it was owned by John Ullery. He had a brother named
Samuel, who was the first Tunker minister in the Cove, a great-grandfather,
on the mother's side, of the writer of this article. He preached in the Yellow
Creek congregation, southeast end of the Cove, in the vicinity of New Enter-
prise. So far as I remember, his successors in office were Martin Miller, John
Holsinger, David Brumbaugh, Jacob Miller, John Eshelman, Leonard Furry
and Daniel Snowberger.
According to the Biographical Cyclopasdia of Blair County, "Jacob Neff
killed two Indians who attacked him at his mill at Roaring Springs in Novem-
ber, 1777, and then fled ; after which the entire war party came up and burned
his mill." This statement must be wrong ; he killed only one Indian. The facts,
as I gather them from the early settlers, are these: While in his mill, two
Indians suddenly came upon him. He hid in the water-wheel. He remained
there until everything was quiet, for a good while. Then he emerged with his
gun, and ran up the hill in the direction of East Sharpsburg. As he glanced
back he saw one of the Indians close upon him, gaining on him, when he sud-
denly turned and fired. The Indian fell dead, and Neff escaped. But he was
afterwards disciplined by the church. Some said he was expelled. I do not
vouch for the truth of the last statement.

SECTION A.
GERHARD1 BRUMBACH AND DESCENDANTS.
[Al] GERHARD1 BRUMBACH was b in 1662°, probably in Saxony,
near "Wittenberg," Germany. His name is found spelled also BROMBACH,
BRUMBACK and BROWNBAUGH, as, signing by mark, he was dependent
upon the spelling often of English-writing colonists who could not under-
stand his German speech. He d Sept., 1757. A history of Vincent township
(deposited in the Pennsylvania Historical Society, Philadelphia, in manuscript
form), written in 1846 by Frederick Sheeder, says: "He came from Germany
and settled at Germantown when there was but one house there." The first
houses were built in Germantown in 1683 by a colony of forty-one Germans
who landed in Philadelphia in October, and who came chiefly from Creisheim
and Creyfelt. These settlers were mostly linen weavers, intelligent and* indus-
trious, as well as devout Christian people, Mennonites, who came to America
to avoid oppressions at home. Tradition says that Gerhard Brumbach lived
among these Germantown settlers and helped build the first houses erected
there; that he came from the Palatinate of the Rhine, and that he landed in
Philadelphia from the ship Concord?, Oct. 6, 1683.
In 1716 or 1718 Gerhard1 m Mary Rittenhouse Papen, b about 1695,
daughter of Heivert and Elizabeth (Rittenhouse) Papen, Mary was
a woman of many virtues and of excellent character. Her father,
Heivert,0 a Mennonite, came from Muhlheim, Germany, in 1685. In 1698 he
erected the house herein reproduced (torn down in 1883). It was on the "side
lot appurtenant to town lot toward Schuylkill — No. 8 in the first drawing of

tion by the former, are but a recent expression of his interest and investigations The con-
stant assistance in gathering information rendered by [A112] Garrett Ellwood'" Brownback

culties encountered in gathering the facts for this section, has made possible the publication

Dr. Win. H « Mosteller [A78-H] has also assisted in gathering information, partly revised
the manuscript for Section A, and shown especial co-operation in advancing this work
bThe published American lists for the ship Concord do not contain his name. The
ettort to secure a complete list from the Holland archives is being made through the U S
State Department. The assertion has been made that [A Ij Gerhard Brumbach's name

lots." That lot and the side lot were conveyed by Abraham Op de Graff to
Jacob Schumacher March 4, 1685; the latter conveyed both lots in 1693 to
Heivert Papen, and in 1705 the latter conveyed the side lot and appurtenances
to Samuel Richardson, Richard Townsend, Thomas Potts, Sr., and Samuel
Cort, trustees for the Quaker meeting. During the battle of Germantown two
cannon were placed in front of this house and aimed at the "chew house"
opposite.
In 1701 Heivert Papen "declined to serve as burgess of said town (Ger-
mantown) through consciencious scruples." About 1690 he m Elizabeth
Rittenhouse, only daughter of Wilhelm Rittinghausen — the sons were
Nicholas and Gerhard. Wilhelm was b in 1644 also near Muhlheim,
Germany; later resided in Holland, whence he came to America in 1688, and
about 1690 erected the first paper mill in the colonies, near Germantown. He
d in 1708, aged 64 years, and was buried in the Mennonite churchyard in Ger-
mantown, which church he founded — the first preacher and later the first
Bishop of that denomination. The Rittenhouse forefathers long carried on
the manufacture of paper at Arnheim, Holland. Nicholas inherited the paper
mill at Germantown from his father William, and was the father of Matthias
Rittenhouse. The latter was father of David Rittenhouse, the greatest astro-
nomical and mathematical genius of his age.
Heivert Papen owned extensive real estate, largely farms, and d in 1707.
His family consisted of five daughters, of whom Mary in 1713 m [Al] GER-
HARD1 BRUMBACH. He settled the estate and his name is that of the first
subscribing heir in a receipt dated March 17, 1719, mentioning certain sums
of money received by each from the said estate. His name in the same was
written (in German letters) "Brombach" and "Brumbach," but as he did not
write the scribes of those early days have handed down to us a variety of spell-
ings. Especial attention is directed to the photographic copy of the signature
of his son [A6] "Henrich Brombach" (see Plate 22). Brambach, Brum-
back, Bromback, Brownbagh, Brownbaugh (see Plates 25, 26, 27), Broomback
and Brownback are other spellings often found. His descendants spell the
name "Brownback," commencing with the third generation — the second gener-
ation usually spelled the name "Brumback."
Gerhard1 was one of the pioneers and opened up a large farm in the wil-
derness, settling in Vincent Township with his family some time between the
years 1721 and 1724. In a Deed Poll of "Gerhard Brownback to Leonard
Streeper," dated Dec. 28, 1721-2, he is said to be "of the County of Phila-
delphia in the Province of Pennsylvania." In 1724 he was one of the taxables

of Vincent Twp., Chester Co., paying a tax of 2 S. 4 d. He must have moved
to Vincent some time between these two dates.
He first took up 600 acres of land in Vincent Twp. Vincent Twp. then
included both East and West Vincent, and consisted of about 20,000 acres,
half of which belonged to the heirs of Major Robert Thompson, of Newington
Green, England, and the other half to the West New Jersey Society, excluding
probably some small tracts which were actually sold to settlers. Vincent Twp.
was then leased by farmers and settlers with the reserved right of purchase.
Because of this the land was developed rather slowly — the settlers built inferior
houses, and were indifferent about improvements, until they became actual
owners of the land, which did not become possible until the last part of the
century, about 1790. Gerhard's 600-acre tract was a part of the Major
Thompson 10,000 acres, and lay in the northern part of what later was called
East Vincent, about the head waters of Stony Run.
He also took up a large tract in Coventry Twp., adjoining his property
in Vincent. June 23, 1736, the Proprietaries conveyed to him by warrant the
privilege of taking up 350 acres of land in Coventry Twp., for which he agreed
to pay at the rate of 15 £, 10 S. for 100 acres, and a yearly Quit Rent of ^ d.
for each and every acre thereof. The certificate of conveyance states that
Gerhard was settled on this land before 1732, and in it his name is spelled
"Garret Brownbagh." He was naturalized as "From Chester Co., 1734 to
1735— Gerhart Braunbeck.""
These two tracts together equalled 950 acres. But it was customary in
those days to add 6 per cent to the land transferred for roads, etc., and so the
entire tract that Gerhard controlled must have been about 1007 acres.
This land was then new and uncultivated. Thick forests covered the rich
soil, and Indians wandered about the neighborhood. A village of about 300
soids of these Delawares nestled about a quarter of a mile from where Gerhard
built his first house. It lay at the corner of the crossroads where Bethel M. E.
Church now stands (Chester Co., Pa.). Gerhard1 made friends of them and
engaged them to work for him, giving provisions in return. They were fond
of potatoes, turnips, and especially of milk. The tradition is that they smoked
the pipe of peace with him, that he took part in their wrestling matches, and
that they always remained friends. He was called by them "Minquon," mean-
ing never violent or wrong in dealings.
Gerhard1 improved his land, erected buildings, and prospered in his work.
He built the first house and barn of logs in 1723. It is said that the door of the
aVotes of Assembly III, p. 131, and Rupp's Thirty Thousand Names of Immigrants
(Reprint), p. 436.

house was large enough to drag logs through it with a horse, into the great
fireplace. The buildings stood on the bank of the little creek in the extreme
southern end of Coventry Twp. It was about ten miles from there to the
Valley Forge, and Gerhard was accustomed to carry his plough-irons on horse-
back to the latter place to get them sharpened. (See accounts, pages 83-86.)
The farms herein illustrated belonged to Gerhard1 until 1757, to [A6]
Henry2 Brownback until 1804, to [A14] Peter3 Brownback until 1834. The
upper farm until 1899 belonged to [A41] Jesse4 Brownback, and the lower
until 1899 to [A14] Peter3 Brownback— both farms belong to [A132] Garrett
Ellwood5 Brownback and have never been owned outside the family since the
original grant from Penn.
Gerhard was a leading and popular settler in his community. He is de-
scribed as "a merry German who accumulated considerable means." He lived
along a much-traveled highway called Nutt's Road, and was often beset by
travelers for meals and lodging. Therefore, May 25, 1736, he sent a petition
to His Majesty's Justices for the privilege of conducting a "Public House"
on the ground that he was frequently oppressed by travelers whom he was
obliged to entertain," and that there was "no Public House within twenty
miles below, nor thirty miles above his house, on the Great Road which leads
from Philadelphia to the Iron Works, and from thence to Conestoga." This
Petition was dated May 25, 1736, and was signed by "Garret B Brumbbough"
(his mark) and twenty-six of his neighbors and friends, who testified that
Gerhard was "a man of good-repute, and was best qualified for such an Em-
ployment." This was the first public house in Coventry Twp., and was among
the first in the county, — the first was established at Downingtown in 1717.
He conducted this inn until his death in 1757, and was succeeded by his
eldest son [A5] Benjamin2, who continued in business for nearly 30 years; he,
in after years, erected a larger house at the junction of the Lancaster and
Ridge roads, now called Hiestands Corner", and the latter is yet standing.
Sept. 4, 1777, and for several days thereafter, both Generals Washington
and Lafayette were entertained at the Brownback Inn, while pressed by Howe
of the British army — [A5] Benjamin2 Brownback, then proprietor, held a
commission as Lieut, in the Continental army (dated Aug. 21, 1776). Lafay-
ette was wounded at Warren Tavern, and retreated to join Washington's army
on its way from Parkers ford to Lancaster, to ford the Schuylkill at Parker-
ford on his way to Germantown.
Besides conducting an Inn, Gerhard engaged in other enterprises. He

built the first grist-mill in Vincent, and owned a half interest thereof. He also
built and operated the first saw-mill in the same township. The most enduring
monument to his memory, however, was the part he took in the founding of a
German Reformed Church, which bears his name.
Brownback's Ref. Ch. was the first Ref. Ch. in Chester Co., Pa., and was
organized May 19, 1743. Philip Breitenstein and 33 other men, including
[Al] Gerhard1 Brumbach, on May 19, 1743, issued a call for Rev. Jacob
Lischey to become their pastor.0 The same day the Discipline was signed and
it is hereafter reproduced. There was no church building.
DISCIPLINE OF BROWNBACK'S CHURCH, AS ADOPTED BY SAID
CONGREGATION 19TH MAY, 1743.b
"There shall be four Elders, nominated by the Minister and elected by a majority of
voters who are of respectable standing and among the whole congregation of good report.
"Their office and duty is:
"(1) Carefully to watch over the whole congregation and to have strict oversight over
each member in particular.
"(2) They must make known without respect to person everything evil and unbecoming
which they see and discover in the one or the other member; this they are to do in this man-
?i?r: :urSt'J£fy arlLto i"ake [t known t0 the Minister alone; Secondly, to the Minister and
the other Elders ; ; Th.rdly, to the whole congregation, if the first and second admonitions
prove fruitless, that there may be no impenitent sinners tolerated in the church, and that
through through them no weak members may be offended.
(3) They must see that there be good order and management together with sound and
pure doctrine be preserved.
"Wherefore they shall in the (4) place frequently consult and confer with the ministers;
particularly as anything occurs in the congregation, meet with him to consider impending
subjects, in order to seek and to promote the welfare of the congregation
"(5) The Elders and the Ministers shall hold consistorial meeting among themselves
everytime before the administration of the Lord's supper, in which they must bear according
to their conscience and thelr knowledge of each member who proposes to commune; when
each one according to the best judgment of the Minister and his Elders may be admitted
or rejected, inasmuch as the consistory has power not only to keep from the Lord's table all
sinners who give offense to the congregation, but also to cast them out of the church (o
excommunicate) until they show amendment of life. K
"It is therefore necessary that each one who intends to commune will give in the name
after sermon one Sabbath before the administering of the Lord's supper, that there may be
time to consult in regard to the case of each member; inasmuch as by reason of our diSine
not any one without exception, as has been our custom, can be admitted to the Lord's table,
but only those who have a just conception of the important fundamentals of religion, as wel
as a true hunger and thirst after Christ-that there may not openly known wicked and

"June 11, 1837 the Constitution of the Church was Alterd."
The plot of ground upon which the church stood, including the cemetery,
was donated to the congregation by Gerhard about 1741. He gave it "for a
burial place for his family, his descendants, and his neighbors." Because of
this donation, and because of the active part which Gerhard took in helping to
found the church, it was called "Brumback's Church," later "Brownback's
Reformed Church of East Coventry."
An extract from directions of General George Washington contains this
reference : "The Ridge road leading to Brumbach's Church," etc.
Frederick Sheeder, in his history, says the first log church was built "about
1750." But Jesse Brownback (1807-1899), son of Peter (Sr.), said that it
was built in 1741. His statement is more in keeping with a fragment of the
old church record, which says : "Frederick Miller was the third preacher in the
old log church, 18th day of February, 1753." If the church was built in
1750, it would be very improbable that they had three different pastors within
three years — especially in those days. Therefore it is more in accord with the
evidence at hand to say that the first log church was built in 1741.
It was built close to the little log school-house in the southeast extremity
of Coventry township on a plot of ground owned by Gerhard1 Brumbach.
Frederich Sheeder saw this venerable old building in 1793 and describes it as
follows: "It was a structure of hewn logs one and a half stories high, with
gallery and broken roof. Two four-light windows were made at each gable
end, and two of the same size in either side of the roof to light the pulpit and

gallery. The lower story had twelve light windows. The graveyard, then
small, was fenced close to the church by pales, and part with posts and rails."
This ancient building stood where Daniel Benners' family vault now is until
the year 1800, when it was taken down and replaced with a stone structure.
The stone structure was erected outside of the graveyard, and stood where
the present building stands.
BROWNBACK CHURCH RECORDS.
The Almsbook Record of "Brumbach's Church," Vincent Twp., Chester

a balance given in custody of Henrich Krob to the amount of 6 0 2.

During the time of the old log church a number of different ministers
served the congregation, but their names and dates are not all known, because
the first church records have been lost. There is one old record8 of this church
wherein we find :
"Frederick Miller was the third preacher in the old log church, 18th day
of February, 1753. Gerhard Brumbach brought his children to be baptized.
His wife's name Mary Papen. 1 his son Benjamin, 22 yr. ; 2 Henry, 20; Mary,
24; Catharine, 18."

From time to time improvements were made, and several times the church
was rebuilt. Jesse4 Brownback [A41] left the following private record: "The
first German Reformed Church of Coventry, known by the name of Brown-
back's Church, was built in 1741 of logs, rebuilt in 1800 of stone, rebuilt in
1846, and in 1878 the members of the church called a meeting to rebuild and
enlarge it, and appointed Jesse Brownback, Frederick Sheeder, Lewis C.
Brownback, Henry Miller, William Davis and Daniel Benner the building com-
mittee to rebuild it." The last improvement was made in 1907, when a tower
and Sunday School room were added to the main building. It is one of the
largest and most beautiful country churches in the county, and is supported

been well represented. The pastor officiating is Rev. Charles H. Slinghoff,
who has served the congregation for the last nine years in a very commendable
manner.
The cemetery connected with the church has been much enlarged and is
an interesting place to visit, because of its many old graves and its beautiful
location. It occupies an elevated position and commands fine views of the
surrounding country. Some of the oldest graves are marked with sandstones
without dates, while a few have no stones. The oldest grave marked with an
inscribed stone is that of Christian Benner, who d in 1767. Other old graves
marked with inscribed stones are those of Jacob Mason, who d in 1776, Sebas-
tian Kelley, who d in 1777, and John Young, who d in 1780. Many of the
descendants of [Al] Gerhard1 Brumbach have been buried here. His own
grave is near the center of the older portion of the yard, and is marked with
a sandstone without date. He d Sept., 1757, aged about 95 years, and his
wife, Mary Rittenhouse (Papen) Brumbach, d in the same year, aged 62 yrs.
12 yrs old when her father d, and 18 when married. Her remains were laid
beside those of Gerhard.1 A beautiful monument of gray granite, 7 feet high
and 5 feet broad, and weighing about 7 tons, was erected by [A132] Garrett
Ellwood5 Brownback over their graves in 1908. It is polished and lettered
on both sides, and contains the names of Gerhard1 and one hundred and sixty-
five of his descendants.
The dedication occurred Oct. 10, 1908 (225th anniversary of Oct. 6,
1683).

CONSECRATION.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Beloved and descendants of our father, Gerhard Brownbaugh: Animated
by the pious example and worthy lives of those who have gone before us, and
still sustained by their loving grace, we, their kindred, in filial love, do hereby
set apart, consecrate, this memorial stone to their noble lives, whose virtues in
the beginnings of this great land of promise were founded upon the solid rocks.
Freedom, Immortality, and God, the triad of moral truths which formed their
belief in the age that gave this land religious freedom and civil liberty. For to
know Thee, O God, is perfect righteousness: yea, to know Thy power is this
not of immortality?
The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot.
Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, found
out the righteous and preserved them blameless unto God. They shall receive
a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand. For the
memorial thereof is immortal, because it is known with God and with men. And
some thereby which have no memorial, who are perished as though they had
never been, and are become as though they had never been born, and their
children after them.
But to-day we come with praise unto the Father that begot us. For
through His mercy unto the original owners of this land, He established a
righteous ness that hath not been forgotten. This act of mercy shall contin-
uously remain a good inheritance to all his children within the covenant. And
their glory shall not be blotted out ; but their name liveth forever.
PRAYER AND BENEDICTION.
O God of our fathers and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with
Thy word, we bless Thee that Thou hast enabled us to fulfil the desires of our
82
BEUMBACH FAMILIES
hearts in erecting this memorial stone to the honor and good name of our
worthy parents; for in all things, O Lord, Thou didst magnify Thy people
and glorify them. Neither didst Thou lightly regard them, but didst assist
them in every time and place. We thank Thee, our heavenly Father, for this
everlasting covenant and the fulfilment of Thy promises, unto his seed that has
come forth to bless this nation and to exalt it to the utmost parts of this
great land.
O Lord, hear the prayers of these, Thy servants, sanctify and consecrate
this place unto him, whose good name we inherit. And grant that Thy praise
may be honorable from generation to generation. And that nobility of char-
acter shall be exalted unto Him that is all glory, as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

POTTS' MANUSCRIPT, VOL. XLII.
"This most interesting volume is the first book of accounts of the Valley
Forge, or Mount Joy Forge, under the ownership of the Potts family. John
Potts of Potts Grove bought the property Mch. 12, 1757, and the first entry
here is dated Mch. 18, 1757. There were 200 a of land in Chester Co. (Pa.)
and 175 a in Phila. Co., on the latter on the south side of the creek were a
forge and a saw mill. Potts immediately built a grist mill, a blacksmith shop,
a cooper shop, and started a store. Daniel Watkins, the blacksmith, was paid
£30 a year. Persons as far away as Moses Coates, living where is now Phoe-
nixville, bought their shoes and other supplies at the store. There were a boat
and a canoe on the Schuylkill, and logs were floated down the river to the
saw mill. The iron was piled up in the store to at least the amount of four
tons, and was hauled by wagons to Phila. The supplies, even the shingles and
the Indian corn, were hauled from that city. Cows were driven there to be sold.
Deer ran wild in the woods. During the troubles with the Indians wagons were
sent to Raystown and Ohio. There was a library maintained by a company in
Providence Twp., Phila. Co., to which the annual subscription was 5 s. The
fuel for the Forge was wood cut and coaled in the forest. The labor was in
part that of negro slaves and two servants, Thos. Connor and Henry Selig,
men who were bought for £30. Teamsters were paid £20 per annum.
Saml. W. Pennypacker, May 18, 1907."
The above quotation is a copy of the memorandum made by Hon. Samuel
W. Pennypacker, whose splendid and unique library contains the Potts Mss.,

Sheeders' manuscript History, before mentioned, gives the following in-
scription on a tombstone in Brownback Ch. cemetery : "Wm. Posey son in law
of Garret Brumbach died aged 62 years," also that he owned a small farm of
33 acres, died intestate, leaving a w named Susanna and six ch John, William,
Peter, Susanna, Edward and Sarah (there were 8 ch in all).
According to the tombstone records at Brownback Ch., William Posey
was b 1759 and d Mch. 9, 1821 ; Susanna was b 1758 and d Dec. 6, 1840. She
was b in 1758 and [Al] Gerhard d in 1757, aged 95; therefore this Susanna
cannot be a daughter of Gerhard, and is not included amongst his children.
"There are more than a thousand descendants of this one man living
to-day, and many of them hold important and lucrative positions in business,

during the Civil War, and on the whole they have all shown themselves to be
patriotic and worthy citizens. The family is strong, energetic, and religious,
and promises to maintain its virtue and industry for many generations." '

Coventry Twp., Chester Co., Pa., 1829; d 1776; m Frederick Bingaman,
"the German of Coventry," came from Germany about 1740; commenced
their married life upon a tract first taken up by his father-in-law [Al]
Gerhard1 at the mouth of Birchrun Creekd on the W. side of French Creek.
Frederick was a mill-wright and erected the first saw mill in that neighborhood,
adding a grist mill in a few years. Frederick Sheeder says that in 1794 "There
was nothing to be seen but part of the hole where the buildings stood. The
head and tail races were more visible." "The land on the left side up this
stream toward the source, or where two streams met, was chiefly timber land,
and on the right side cleared and cultivated, studded with many buildings.
In the course of two miles there were four grist mills, four saw mills, one oil
mill, one tilt and the best seat for a mill vacant, that of John Shuler's, formerly
that of Frederic Bingaman. The greater part of this timber land belonged
to the Grunds and Casper Himes. That Grund and Michael Kolb had a diffi-
cult law suit about 1805 concerning the water, where the oil and saw mill is
now the property of Owen Grates, and in the direction of where the two
branches of the Birchrun meet. At this point the first school house was in the
township of West Vincent, after the division of Vincent. In it the elections

were held. Nearly all the land on the right side of said run was taken up by
the Jenkins family as the first settlers," etc.
The Bingamans were a strongly religious people, and "Mary Magdaline
was destined to be the star of religious life in the northern end of Chester Co."
"Their descendants are numerous to-day, and they have spread into sev-
eral States. Most of them are occupied in business pursuits and in farming.
Some have entered professional life. Gerhard1 willed to his son-in-law, Fred-
erick Bingaman the saw mill in Vincent township." '
They were also patriotic. Two sons, Frederick3 and Garrett3, served in
the Continental Army. Frederick served in a rifle company, wearing trim-
mings which were colored with maple bark juice. Garrett3 served a term of
military service, was again drafted, and his brother Frederick3 took his place
in the service.

Mr. Brumback was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, July 22, 1832. Deceased was a
widower, his wife having died twenty-eight' years ago. He was* the father of eight children,
three of whom survive: Mrs. Elizabeth Fowler, of Lincoln; Mrs. H. W. Hyde, of Brookings,
S. Dak., and Miss Cora Brumback, also of Lincoln. He had been a farmer, also a merchant',
and was a man of sterling integrity and generous to a fault. Mr. Brumback was a man of
great industry and successful in business until sickness compelled him to give up his labors,
since which time his two faithful daughters have devotedly cared for him. Deceased had been
a member of the Masonic order for twenty-five years. He has left a legacy of well doing to
cheer the hearts of his sorrowing daughters, the funeral was held at his home Thursday
afternoon, Rev. C. C. Cragin officiating. At the grave the Masons took charge and tenderly
laid to rest all that was mortal of another brother who has gone before. Mrs. Walter Jansen,
Mrs. M. W. Hogle and Mrs. Frank L. Sanders rendered appropriate hymns."

the original tract bought by [Al] Gerhard1 in Vincent Twp. ; reared upon
the farm; while extensively interested in other enterprises, he has gradually
extended his landed interests and owns seven fine farms, containing 600 acres ;
he takes pleasure in retaining as part of his tracts 220 a. in Chester Co., to
which there has never been a deed excepting the original patent" from Penn,
Proprietor of Pennsylvania. He attended the local public schools, the Guldin
Sch. (Pughtown), and briefly at Millersville State Nor. Sch., and his practical
belief in education is shown in the thorough educational and business training
given to all his children.
In 1867 he left the farm and entered into a partnership with his brother,
[A130] Penrose Wiley5 Brownback, and they conducted a general merchandise
store at Linfield, Pa. In 1870 he there built a block for store purposes, where
his brother continued in business until his retirement in 1908. In 1876 Garrett5
took over the general store and conducted it alone until 1887, when he sold it
to [A130] Penrose5, and began his present extensive creamery business. He
mastered the details of the latter business, erected a fine creamery in 1887 at
Linfield, and gradually enlarged the business until he owns and operates 12
creameries at various points in Eastern Pa. These are equipped with the best
machinery and have a daily output of 4,000 lbs. of "Golden butter." This and
other dairy products he sells through wholesale and retail trade at Ridge Ave.
Market, Phila, Pa. ; Atlantic City and Cape May, N. J., and in New York.
Reliability of products, absolute personal integrity, a pleasing personal ad-
dress, and close application to business have resulted in his extensive business
success and diversified interests.
Mr. Brownback is Secy.-Treas. Linfield Cold Storage & Ice Co. ; Treas.
Linfield Elec. Light Co.; V.-P. Royersford Trust Co.; director Girard Ave.

EAST VINCENT TOWNSHIP, CHESTER COUNTY, PA., BY FRED-
ERICK SHEEDER, FEBRUARY 18, 1846.
This remarkable manuscript history was presented to the Pennsylvania
Historical Society and was published in the Pennsylvania Magazine of His-
tory and Biography, Vol. XXXIV, Nos. 1, 2, 3, from which the following
extracts have been taken since the balance of this section was put in type.
The manuscript begins :
"To the Historical Society of Pennsylvania : With due Respect."
An Introduction by Hon. Samuel W. Pennypacker concludes:
"It has been thought best that the history should be printed in the quaint
phraseology and orthography in which it was written, believing that it loses
nothing in strength or value because of the fact that the author was without
education and expressing his thoughts in an unfamiliar tongue."

GOSHENHOPPEN.
The general locality wherein live the descendants of [Al] Gerhard1 Brum-
bach, and which includes part of the "Goshenhoppen Region," is likewise inter-
esting to the descendants of [El] Johannes Henrich1 Brumbach, because of
the tradition3 in the "Woodcock Valley," Huntingdon Co., Pa., that their
ancestors passed through the "Goshehoppa," were identified with it, and in
earlier days traded there. It is not thought that there was any relationship
between [Al] and [El], and no traces of land ownership there by [El], or
the children, have yet been discovered.6

fully searching the old land and church records for anything pertaining to the earlier repre-
sentatives of any of the families, and then communicate with him.

"THE LEGEND OF GOSHENHOPPEN— REV. C. Z. WEISER." '
"Notes : The origin and significance of Goshenhoppen is still a puzzle.
It is a name given to a region of country extending from North Wales to
Macungie, north and south, and from the Falconer to the Great Swamp, east
and West. Its orthography is variously written, but preference is of late
inclining to Goshenhoppen. It is doubtless a derivation and degeneration from
some Indian name — perhaps a mixture of several names. The nearest approach
to the term, as now written, is offered in the Titles of such Chiefs as Shak-a-
happa, Guch-i-a-thion and En-shock-hippo. These stand broad and plainly writ-
ten in the Early Vols, of the "Colonial Records" and "Penna Arch." From a
comparison of a number of Indian Deeds to William Penn, given during 1683-5,
we incline to the opinion that Shack-a-hop-pa was the Chief over the Region.
His signature or "Mark," as we would say, was a Big Smoke Pipe.
Onas, which means a pen, was the name under which the Indians knew
Wm. Penn.
Pat-ke-ho-ma is the Original of Perkio-men. Mough-ough-sin had been
the Indian Proprietor of that District which is now called Macungie."
"FEW NOTES RELATING TO GOSHENHOPPEN AND ITS
CHURCHES.""
"I have an old deed of a Tract within the bounds of Goshenhoppen of
1733 which reads 'There was surveyed unto George Cowhill of the county of
Philadelphia a certain Tract of Land situate in old Cowissippin in the said
County, etc.
Gordon's Gazatteer of Penna. under New Hanover says the W. branch of
the Perkiomen passes through the N. W. angle of the Township of Swamp
Creek centrally and the population is German and have two churches upon
opposite sides of a branch of Swamp Creek, one of which is called the Swamp
Church.
New Goshenhoppen is not on the list of P. 0. any more — it is changed
to New Hanover."
"ADDITIONS MADE FEB. 28, 1879, FOR PA. HIST. SOU"
"I would further say in regard to Goshenhoppen that Mr. Weiser is wrong
in saying 'It is a name given to a region of country extending from North
Wales to Macungie,' etc. It never embraced so large an extent, for a part of it

was embraced in what was then known as Methachey which now forms a part
of Yoomencing, Worcester and Skippack Townships.
It appears these names were originally applied to certain localities without
special boundaries, before Counties and Townships were surveyed. Skippack1
was also such a General name which embraced the present Perkiomen and
Lower Salford Townships, without any special limits eastward. It compre-
hended about the middle district between Methachey and Goshenhoppen to
Perkasie, while Goshenhoppen extended to Macungie, which is another such a
locality whose original boundaries cannot be defined, besides many others espe-
cially in Western Penna.
I have nothing reliable concerning Sclvwartz'walde but think Mr. Super or
Rev. Mr. Weiser could give the desired information if applied to. Their ad-
dress is Pennsburg, Montgomery Co., Pa.
ABM. H. CASSEL."
"Old Goshenhoppen distant 6 miles. New Goshenhoppen Reformed
Church (Hornerly ? P. O.) is now Hanover P. 0. Reformed Lutheran
Church is near by. 'The New Goshenhoppen Ref. Ch.' is 14 mile from the
Perkiomen opposite Pennsburg, which was originally called 'Heiligsville.' The
first building was used by the Reformed Lutherans and Mennonites and was
built as early as 1716. The second church building was put up in 1796. The
first regularly organized church dates to 1731. It is said that John Henry
Sprogle from Holland arrived in Phila. in 1705, owned altogether about 13,000
acres in Montgomery and Berks. He gave 6 acres for a burial place for Men-
nonites, Lutherans and Reformed, though they had no lawful title before 1796
—they had titles of their own in 1749, but -no legal patent.
He further says 'In 1741 Father Theodore Schneider, a Jesuit priest,
founded the Mission at (New) Goshenhoppen, where he lived in the utmost
self-denial and poverty, ministering to the wants of the people over 20 years.
He built a church in 1743 where the present Catholic church in Washington
Township, Berks Co., now stands; a part of the building is still attached to
the present building.' The Mennonites and Herrnhutters helped him to build
his church out of Respect. Father Schneider established the first school (in
that locality) which was attended by Mennonites and other children. The
church owned 500 acres of the best land in Penna — a farm of 110 acres still

by Martin Grove" Brumbaugh [E682], Phila., 1908. Introduction by Samuel W. Penny-
pi. cker: "Twenty-five years ago the name of Christopher Dock, the pious schoolmaster on
the Skippack, was unknown to the reading world, and the light of local fame, extending
from Germantown to Goshenhoppen, which in the eighteenth century gave a general glow to
his life, had faded into an almost imperceptible ember," etc.

belongs to it. This church is also called the Goshenhoppen, besides another
one on the North side of Pennsburg known as the Six Angular church is also
called the New Goshenhoppen, and as they are not far apart Mr. Mulenberg
no doubt frequently visited each of them." "
"GOSHENHOPPEN: The region lying partly in Berks, Montgomery
and Bucks counties, that is in the angle formed by the three named districts,
together with a strip of Lehigh, has been ycleped 'Goshenhoppen' for a full
century. In 1728 it is first written in the public prints. Its orthography was
framed by every writer after his own choice. Cowissa-hoppen, Queso-hoppen,
Coss-he-hoppen, Cosh-enhoppen, Coshahopin, Cosche-hoppe and Goshenhoppen,
and, it may be, still other specimens may be found.
The German settlers derived it of German origin, but, like Tulpehocken
or Conshohocken, it came from Indian source. We are all the more ready to
believe this herkunft, from the fact that two Indian chiefs contributed to its
patronymic, who owned contiguous tracts of land in its lattitude. Their names
were severally 'Enschockhoppa' and 'Shakahoppa.' Their marks were Smoke
Pipe, which they invariably attached opposite their names. Until we are
better informed, we are disposed to hold fast to this dusky origin. It em-
braces a tract extending from Treichlerville to Sumneytown, north and south,
and from the Bucks county line to the Perkiomen, east and west. It covers a
region rather than a township or country. The only part which retains a part
of the old name is Hoppenville."
The above quotation is from "Folk-Names of Places," by C. Z. Weiser,
D.D., in "The Perkiomen Region," Vol. I, No. 4, p. 64. The latter, in Vol. I,
pp. 88-90, contains an excellent sketch by Win. J. Buck, and illustration, of
the "Old Goshenhoppen Church," erected in 1732 and used by both German
Reformed and Lutheran congregations. "The Perkiomen Region," Vol. Ill,
p. 76 et seq., contains a reprint of the "oldest Congregational Record" in the
Ref. Ch., 1731-1761, and the pastor of that church informs the compiler that
the later records are also in good preservation. An examination of the latter
is yet to be made for possible traces of our families — "Schippach, Alt Coschen-
hoppen, Neu Coschenhoppen, Schwam, Sacen, Aegipten, Macedonia, Missilem,
Oli, Bernet Dolpenhacen" are included in these old records.
"Mr. Martin I. J. Griffin in Penna -German, Vol. XII, No. 9, p. 571, says the Catholic
Goshenhoppen Ch. records are found in the Amer. Cath. Hist. Soc. of Phila, Vols. 2, 3, 8,

GEORG1 BOMBACH AND DESCENDANTS.
[Bl] GEORG1 BOMBACH arrived at Germantown, Pa., Dec. 3, 1740, on
the ship Samuel, Captain Percy — "natives and late Inhabitants of the Palati-
nate upon the Rhine and places adjacent."
"The same name appears among the list of Surveys for Land in Lancaster
Co., Pa., Dec. 21, 1750; again on a Tax List of the Town of York, 1779.
In the latter year the same name is found on a Tax List of Allen Twp., Cum-
berland Co., Pa." *
Georg's1 name appears as the 18th signature in the first column (see
arrow in accompanying illustration) of "Captain Percy's Passengers, 1740."
The fifth name above his signature is that of Daniel Furry, and the second
beneath his signature is that of Poulus Zug (Zook), both of which are of
interest to certain families included in this work. In this connection those
interested in this ship's immigrants should notice that the list as given in
Rupp's Thirty Thousand Immigrants, 2d Edn., 1898, p. 144, is wholly dif-
ferent, from the photographic copy of the ship's papers herewith reproduced.

SECTION C.
JOHANN JACOB1 BRUMBACH AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
[CI] JOHANN JACOB1 BRUMBACH,* b about 1728, is said to have
been an orphan and to have had £50 upon his arrival at Philadelphia, Pa., on
the ship Nancy, August 31, 1750 — see his signature on the Immigrant List. He
settled in the Conecocheague District, about 1 mile south of Mason's and
Dixon's Line, and 4 miles north of Hagertown, then Frederick Co., Md. In
1760 he m Mary Elizabeth Angle, b 1740 (for Mary Elizabeth see deed of
14th March, 1780, p. 148), dau Henry Angle of Washington Co., Md. The
latter's family in Heads of Families, Md., 1790, is given as three free white
males over 16 years, including heads of families, two free white males under 16
years, and five free white females, including heads of families. He built a
substantial house on his tract before his marriage — the original house is stand-
ing, and with various additions and changes is shown in the recent photograph
taken especially for this work reproduced elsewhere. It is probably the oldest
original house in Washington Co., Md., and is occupied by the family of [Clll]
Philip Napoleon4" Brumbaugh — the illustration shows his wife seated at the
main entrance to the original building. This house is built of heavy hewn logs,
36 x 16 — two rooms below and two above, with large open fire places (since
closed), and very heavy oak doors and shutters. The porch and two-story
addition were built during the ownership of the present occupants.

Jacob 1 a seems at once to have dropped the "Johann" after landing, as
nowhere has any later signature other than "Jacob" been found, and this was
a common practice — the Census of 1790 enumerates him as "Jacob" only.
Originally a Lutheran, he united with the G. B. B. Ch., of which his wife was
a member. In the Braddock campaign of the F. and I. War he served as a pack-
man, his religious scruples preventing service in actual conflict. His hearing
was defective, and this tendency, together with his large stature and strong
general constitution, seem to have been hereditary in some later generations.
He had an unusual faculty for acquiring land, and shortly before his death
in Pa., April 10, 1799,b is said to have owned over 6,000 acres in Bedford and
Blair counties, Pa., together with large tracts of land in Frederick Co., Md.
His remains were taken to the old Maryland homestead and buried in the small
family graveyard. Mary (/ Nov. 28, 1806, and was laid beside her husband,
both graves marked by rudely dressed limestones containing "J. B." and "M.
B." The remains of the 7 children also rest there.
Heads of Families, First Census of the United States, 1790— Md., p. 118,
enumerates [E2] Jacob2 Brumbach as having 2 sons over 16, 4 under 16, and
3 dau, besides his wife; also on p. 121 [C4] John3 Brumbagh as having 3 dau
and his wife; and immediately beneath is found [C2] Jacob2 Brumbagh as
having 4 sons under 16 and one dau besides his wife.
The children seem to have united with different religious denominations,
and in the main the descendants of each remained therein; [C2] Jacob2 and
[C7] Henry2 became Pres.; [C3] Mary2 and [C4] John2 became G. B. B. ;
[C5] Daniel2 became Ref. ; [C6] David2 and [C8] George2 became Lutheran,
according to [C76] David Stuckey4 Brumbaugh.0
Considerable space is given to the deeds which follow because of their bear-
ing upon questions of locality and of genealogy. Often they have been the
only means of positive identification amongst our numerous families.

[C18-vi] Barbara5 Snoeberger writes that Mary or "Maria went for their
cows one evening and became lost in the woods. The wolves came near her
and she had to climb a tree. The family blew horns which she could hear, but,
as she could not make them hear her calls and did not dare to get down from
the tree, she was compelled to stay there all night. The wolves left in the
morning, and she found she was in sight of her home where she had left a
nursing baby."
The name Ulery is variously spelled. Eve Brumbaugh Snoeberger said:
"Samuel Ulerich was the first minister of the Brethren in this place."

"Samuel Ullery was grantee of Commonwealth of Penna. to a large tract
of land in the south end of Morrison's Cove, New Enterprise, now forming
part of the said grant, and his patent of 1786 was signed by Benj. Franklin."15
A number of deeds are also noted under [CI], [C2], [C7] and [C8] in
which Samuel Ulery and wife appear.
Heads of Families First Census of the United States : 1790 — Penna. —
Bedford Co. — p. 21 enumerates "Samuel Ulery" as having one free white male
under 16 years, and five free white females, including heads of families (his
wife). It also enumerates "David Ulery" as having five sons under 16 years,
his wife and a daughter. (The Md. Census of 1790, p. 66, enumerates "Henry
Uhlry" and "Michael Uhlry" of Frederick Co.)

MONTGOMERY, VIRGINIA.
January 17, 1798, "Thomas Proctor of the City of Philadelphia in the
State of Pennsylvania, Esquire," deeded to "Mary Broomburgh of Washington
County, Maryland," one certain Lot or piece of ground in the Town of Mont-
gomery in the State of Virginia Marked in a General Plan of the said Town
No. 1334 situate on the South side of Washington Street in the said Town."
This deed was acknowledged before Thomas Smith, Esq., one of the Associate
Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, February 3, 1798, and wit-
nessed by Sarah A. Charlton and Daniel Grant.
The Library of Congress, and the Virginia State Library at Richmond,
Va., are unable to afford any information as to the location or history of the
"Montgomery, Virginia." The town was platted of considerable size to con-
tain at least 1334* lots. The deed was evidently intended for [C3] Mary2
Brumbaugh, born in 1767, and lived in Washington Co., Md., until her mar-
riage to Samuel Ullery, a minister of the German Baptist Church, and one of
the first ministers of that denomination in Bedford Co., Pa. German names
were very often mis-spelled in legal documents through misinterpretation of
speech or writing.

Hagerstown, Md. In 1827 the entire family moved from Md. into Franklin Co.,
Pa., upon a farm in Antrim Twp. He built a house at Middleburg, now called
State Line, Pa. — this house was later used as a public house, or hotel, which
Eve largely conducted while David2 directed the farming of his 300-acre tract
S.W. of McConnelsburg. About 100 acres of this were cleared and the bal-
ance consisted of heavily wooded land and contained several fine springs. He
was very fond of spending his summers on this mountain land, and it was a
great treat for the grand-children to join him there. Simeon3 farmed the old
homestead farm in Washington Co., Md., during a portion of this time.

west — a strange coincidence. The farm has passed out of the hands of the
family long since, the same as the Brown farm. It is a singular fact that not
one of the ten children has lived in Washington county for over twenty years ;
indeed, the Brumbaugh race has become quite meagre in its native county.
Gone West. Many of them, however, of the race live in Southern Pennsyl-
vania. Father Joseph Brumbaugh was a plain, unassuming man, deservedly
respected by those who knew him. He was a careful, watchful parent, and a
faithful husband. He bore arms for his country in the War of 1812; was one
of the defenders of Baltimore. His wife bore an excellent character, was
highly respected and proud of the Angle and Brumbaugh names. I honor her

"David Brumbaugh, brother of father Joseph, was a prominent and re-

member of the Washington Co. bar, but promptly located in Kansas, where
he did well. Was at one time Attorney General of the State. He died some
years ago, leaving a widow, who soon followed him. The Brumbaugh family
are too numerous and scattered to permit more than a general reference to
them + + +."b
David3 was one of the incorporators and First Pres. of Washington Co.,
Md., Agricultural and Mechanical Assn., which was chartered in 1854, and
the first fair was held on the edge of Hagerstown along the Williamsport pike.
He owned and operated the Lehman Mill in Leitersburg Dist. for 6 yrs. — it is

the death of the writer and the fact that none of the surviving family will reply to letters.

stone mill was torn down — the latter was one of the first to be erected in the old

1,000 a of land ("Spriggs Paradise"), and he was an extensive slave owner.

"DEATH OF DAVID BRUMBAUGH."
"This worthy and much esteemed citizen and native of our county, one of
a numerous and influential family, an honest man and a true Christian, if we
may judge of his life by his actions, died at his home near the Pennsylvania
State Line on Friday night last, December 6, aged 76 years, 6 months and 11
days. His death was caused by old age, the wearing out of nature. We be-
lieve until he lost his wife, a few years since, he scarcely knew what it was to
be sick a day. That loss, followed soon after by the death of *a son, of whom
he had just cause to be proud, and in whose career was stored pretty much
all of his earthly treasures during his latter years, broke his almost indom-
itable spirit, and he gradually sank under the repeated blows of affliction.
In the early days of his life, out of a numerous family of solid and influ-
ential men, all of who were active politicians, Mr. David Brumbaugh was the
only one who was a Whig, the others of the name in this locality being all
decided Democrats. He was also as decided a Presbyterian, and through
sunshine and storm alike he as regularly wended his way to Hagerstown
to church; as on Tuesday he did, in later years, to the office of the Mutual
Insurance Company, of which he was Surveyor and Actuary. Up to the day
of his death he was devoted to his church, but when the 'Know Nothing' party
supplanted the old Whig party he connected himself with the Democratic party
of the nation and died in that political association. A man of deep convic-
tions and marvelous regularity of habits, he was always conspicuous in public
enterprises and thoroughly earnest in his work. He was born upon a farm
and reared with agricultural predilections, and was, if not absolutely the
father of the Agricultural Association of our county, more entitled to that
honor than perhaps any one man connected with it, as he was from its birth.
For many years, and until age began to paralyze his energies, he was its
President, and continued to be its Vice-President until near his death. In this
connection he was Correspondent of the Agricultural Bureau at Washington

for many years, and was the only agricultural statistician our county has
ever had. In this field his death will be a loss to the whole county.
"For many years before his death, as we have said, he was Surveyor of the
old Mutual Company of our county, and as such visited and familiarized him-
self with the people of every section of the county; there is probably not a
man in our county who did not know David Brumbaugh. In early life he was
a man of property, and one of the most intelligent and prosperous of our
farmers. Had he confined himself exclusively to practical farming, he no doubt
would have died among the rich men of our county. As it was, he was poor.
With a very active mind and more than ordinary education, and of a generous
nature towards his fellow men, in early life he divided his. talent and attention
between his legitimate business and that of surveying and assisting his neigh-
bors in conveyancing, and finally to farming attempted to add the milling
business ; which multiplicity of occupations was too much for him, and he lost
his property, but never the love and respect of his fellow beings. Then it was
he became connected with the Insurance Company, and at his funeral, which
took place last Sunday at State Line, as a mark of well-merited respect, Messrs.
M. S. Barber, H. K. Tice, Alex. Neill and Buchanan Schley, officers of the
company, were in attendance. Among the pall bearers were two of his brethren
in the church, Messrs. P. B. Small and Joseph B. Loose, whilst the funeral
services were solemnized by the Rev. J. C. Thompson, of the Presbyterian
Church of our place, of which the deceased was a member. The whole sur-
rounding people turned out to pay the last sad rites to the memory of their
friend."

He placed some on a shovel and called the boys around him, saying: 'Now
bura gook was fulfer doot' — ('Now boys come and see what powder does') —
whereupon the powder 'went off' and also his beard, which was long after the
manner of the men of those long past years."
David3 lived on a large tract over a square mile in extent about one mile
west of New Enterprise, Bedford Co., Pa. The "mansion part" now has but
about 300 acres. The old house, greatly altered and modernized, is herewith
shown, and is about 100 years old. "One part of it was used as a meeting
place of the Brethren before the}' had a church in that community, and as
they now have the second church on the same foundation for over 80 years you
can see how long since they worshiped in the old David Brumbaugh house." "

made extensive notes based upon her exceptional memory and extensive knowl-

ancient and historic church, and as an act of filial respect and affection in mem-

the latter's shops until he was of age; he then chose the grocery
business, and on April 14, 1865, with $800.00 cash, principally bor-
rowed money, opened a small retail store on the S.W. corner of
Potomac and W. Franklin streets, having a one-horse wagonload of
groceries. This business steadily increased, and in 1878 he sold out
and established his present large wholesale grocery business upon
the site of his father's cabinet-maker's shop. In 1888 he added the
wholesale notion business, and the firm of S. M. Bloom & Co., whole-
sale grocery and dry goods jobbing house, conducts probably the
largest wholesale grocery and notion business in the rich Cumber-
land Valley.
In 1884, as a Repn., he was elected Mayor of Hagerstown, and
"served with marked general satisfaction"; 1887 was elected Co.
Commissioner, and "served with skill and acceptability"; 1890

[CSS] JACOB BENJAMIN3 BRUMBAUGH ([C6] David2, Johann Ja-
cob1) b June 23, 1818, in Washington Co., Md. ; when he was nine years old his
parents moved to Antrim Twp., Franklin Co., Pa., where they d in 1842 and
1845. Jan. 1, 1856, he m Rebecca Clopper, b on a farm near Wingerton,
Franklin Co., Pa., March 15, 18S4; dau Samuel and Maria (Gordon) Clopper.
In 1857 they moved to Middleburg, Franklin Co. (now State Line), and there
kept a hotel and also conducted a farm of 170 acres in the immediate vicinity;
Rebecca practically managed the hotel; in 1870 they moved to Lemaster, same
county, and there spent the remainder of Jacob's life.
The Public Opinion* in announcing his death on Feb. 4, 190S, after a
protracted illness with a complication of diseases, in his eighty-fifth year, said
in part :
"Mr. Brumbaugh was, therefore, reared to manhood in this county, during
a long, honorable and useful life, taking an interest in its history and progress,
and in everything relating to the welfare of his fellow citizens. A successful
farmer and business man and prudent in the management of his affairs, he had
the confidence of the community in which he resided, and was a safe counsellor
whose advice was sought by neighbors.
"Charitable and kind-hearted, Mr. Brumbaugh's generosities were many
and unostentatious. His supreme happiness was in being in company with
congenial friends, and his knowledge of current affairs made him interesting and
the life of the party. After his retirement from the farm and on his removal
to Lemaster ten or more years ago, where he spent the evening of his life, there
as at his old home he quickly gathered about him troops of those with whom
he would spend a pleasant hour. As one after another of some of these were
called hence, he felt their loss as one personal, and their memory was ever dear
to his heart. Himself ever honorable and truthful, he spoke ill of no one.
"In politics a Democrat, Mr. Brumbaugh had the courage of his convic-
tions, but he had respect for those who differed with him. He was well known
"Chambersburg (Pa.) Public Opinion of Feb. 6, 1903.
188
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
for his uprightness and integrity, and served with credit as a member of the
Board of County Commissioners, to which body he was elected in 1869. For
years he was one of the master spirits of his party, and later was a candidate
for County Treasurer, being defeated by his Republican opponent, the late
J. N. Flinder, by a small majority."

Pa. ; Rebecca, his widow, lives near Greencastle, Pa., and has assisted by re-

JOHN BROWN INCIDENT."
"The venerable J. B. Brumbaugh, of Peters Township, one of the well-known and highly
esteemed residents of Franklin County, conversed very entertainingly about famous John
Brown, whilst in the Opinion office recently, and thus furnished data for a first-class article
of unpublished history.
"Mr. Brumbaugh followed his father in keeping a hotel or wayside inn at Middleburg,
in Antrim Township, this county, in the latter part of the fifties. Because of this fact he
was not aware until too late that he had entertained one of the famous characters in our
national war history.
"Late one night in October, 1859, he was called and was met at the door by a gray-
bearded, pleasant spoken old gentleman who desired entertainment. A young man was
with him. Their horse was put up and after breakfast the next morning they departed. In
this case, as well as at subsequent times, the stranger paid his bills in gold. Mr. Brumbaugh
said that the stranger, whom they called 'Pap,' and who afterward proved to be the famous
John Brown, made his hostelry his stopping place from that time on, was a fluent talker,
and as orderly and pleasant a guest as ever stopped at his place. On one occasion 'Pap'
had assisted at an apple butter boiling. During all his lodging Brown had slept in a certain
bed. -j- -)- 4-
"At different times one of his sons accompanied John Brown, Mr. Brumbaugh continued.
He well remembers the incidents of Sunday and Monday evening before the State election.
After breakfast Monday morning Brown and his son, before departing, remarked that if
any person called for them during the day to inform the party that he would be back in
the evening. No person called during the day, but in the evening visitors turned up. Two
genteel looking men drove up to the house, had their horses put up, got supper, asked for a
room with two beds and very soon after retired. When John Brown returned he greeted
the strangers, one of whom was another of his sons. The whole night the men engaged in
animated conversation. Mr. and Mrs. Brumbaugh were interrupted in their slumbers by
the mumbling, and mine host B. feels sure that that night the plans were laid for the raid
at Harpers Ferry the following Sunday.
"The two strangers left Tuesday morning at 4 o'clock for Chambersburg, whilst John
Brown and son, after breakfast, made their way toward Harper's Ferry. In the evening
the son returned, left his horse at Middleburg, and left for Chambersburg on foot. Wednes-
day he returned with two men and a horse and wagon, and after supper proceeded towards
Harper's Ferry. This was the last that Mr. Brumbaugh saw of the Browns at Middleburg.
"The events at Harper's Ferry the following Sunday, when Brown and his party were
routed and captured, but not until great effort, is history and well known. John Brown,
after a fair trial, was hanged at Charlestown, W. Va., December 2. Mr. Brumbaugh felt a
hesitancy about witnessing the execution of Brown, but in April of the following year wit-
nessed the execution of Stephen and Hazlett, who participated with Brown in the fight.
Mr. Brumbaugh says they were fine looking men and died game."

ville, Md., by the Rev. Henry Knepper, in the German Reformed church. We
lived together in that place three years, before moving to Cumberland. Our
first two children were born there + + +•""
"Eleanor6, wife of Jacob Brown, d at their residence in Cumberland, Md.,
on the 27th day of July, 1889, after an illness of over two weeks, -age 61. Her
children were all present at her death and funeral, which took place at 5 P. M.
on the 28th in Rose Hill Cemetery. She leaves surviving her husband, Jacob
Brown, and five children, all of age ; three daughters and two sons— two daugh-
ters and one son unmarried. She was married to her surviving husband May
20, 1851, and has lived in Allegheny County ever since, nearly all the time in
Cumberland. She was born and reared in Washington Co., Md. ; the sixth
daughter of the late Joseph and Elizabeth Angle Brumbaugh, two ancient fam-
ilies of great respectability. Her immediate family left that country many
years ago. The survivors are one brother, Alexander, in Kansas ; two sisters,
Mary and Emily, in Indiana, all her seniors. She was a full cousin of Cath-
erine Angle McComas, mother of Congressman McComas, and she a daughter
of the late Henry Angle, one of Washington County's most respected citizens.
The deceased, in life, was retiring and modest, amiable, quiet and kind in her
disposition, yet energetic, wise and intelligent in her chosen sphere in life—
thoroughly domestic and practical by nature and cultivation. Her house a
model of industry and prudence, where her friends were sure of a hearty wel-
come and real hospitality. She was intensely devoted to her family, and took
but little share in the world's pleasures — hers were at home."

Being the oldest son, he showed special ability in farming, and before
attaining his majority he was assigned a portion of his father's farm as tenant
and foreman.
In 1857 he commenced farming on a larger scale, but living on his original
rented farm ; he filled several Twp. offices ; bought and sold timber lands, and
accumulated a considerable fortune. Upon David's3 death he paid for the
rented farm, and soon after bought the mansion part of the old Kochendarfer
estate, residing upon the latter until his death. Soon after his second mar-
riage both himself and his wife united with the German Baptist Brethren
Church.
His body and general constitution were especially rugged, and his life
was quite active; he died from a relapse of La Grippe. "He was kind and
charitable to the poor, strict and stern in business dealings, and possessed of a
remarkable memory."

dent concerning her mother [C101] Susan4 (Brumbaugh) Eshleman:
"When about 15 years old she was one day left at home while her par-
ents spent the day away from the home. Her father was considered about the
richest man in the community, and doubtless had plenty so that a neighboring
family thought there was more than was needed — frequently relieving them of
214

their substance. On this day mother saw two women slipping into the smoke
house — she, too, 'skipped' in a round about way and shot the bolt of the door.
When the folks came home in the evening she said: 'Come into the yard and see
the nice birds I caught !' You can imagine the rest."
She also says : "On the Brumbaugh farm, which has been in possession of
some of the name for well on 200 years, is a cave of interest. When my great-
grandfather, John2 Brumbaugh [C4], first bought the land from the Indians it
was a hiding place of theirs. On the wall of one room is a carved picture in
relief of an Indian woman nursing her child. There is also an interesting story
of a panther that I heard when I was a small child."

The following extract is taken from the Martinsburg (Pa.) Herald of
Jan. 21, 1910:
"Simon Snyder Brumbaugh, a prominent and highly esteemed citizen of
Bedford county, died at his home near New Enterprise Friday, Jan. 14, at
6:45 P. M., 1910, after an illness extending from the middle of May, 1909.
The best of medical assistance was given him and all that careful nursing
administered by loving hands could do was done in the hope of his gaining
health and strength.
"In October he underwent an operation at Jefferson Hospital, Philadel-
phia, which seemed to benefit him for a time. Through all his sickness he was
a patient sufferer, bearing it all with Christian fortitude. Early Thursday
morning he took a turn for the worse and passed peacefully away, the wife
and children all being present. * * *
"In his earlier life he was a huckster. He was elected steward of the
Bedford County Almshouse and served six years. About twenty-five years ago
he purchased the Aaron Reed distillery and was engaged in that business at
the time of his death. In business he was very shrewd, and many were they
who went to him for advice and assistance. He was always interested in the
cause of education and served a number of years on the school board of South
Woodbury Township. He was a member of the Lutheran Church, Independent
Order of Odd Fellows and Grange. He was one who was always ready to as-
sist in any cause which was for the good of the community, and was especially
good to the poor.
"The funeral, which was one of the largest held in the community for
some time, was held in the Burger Church at Salemville, conducted by Rev.

after a brief illness dating from last Friday. His death produced a shock
throughout the county.
"Mr. Brumbaugh was a type of the sturdy, industrious and influential
farmer and citizen. He had a ready smile and a charitable heart and was
widely known and esteemed for the combination of virtue and qualities that
won him friends everywhere. He was faithful in the performance of his duties
as a public official and a man of honest convictions and integrity. His death

gentle spirit took its flight to a better world at one o'clock. His sickness, dis-
ease of the heart, was painful, but near the end he went to sleep like a little
child.
Jerome D. Brumbaugh was forty-five years old, a native of Maryland.
He came to Marysville in 1858, and has been identified with its interests ever
since. He has been honored by the people with many offices, and in each faith-
fully dischargd his duty. In the county he has held the positions of Probate
•Judge, County Attorney, Commissioner and Representative, and honorably
discharged the duties of Attorney General of the State one term. His was a
pacific spirit, and he was conservative in politics.
Few men have done so much for the material interests of Kansas. He was
a hard-working, conscientious lawyer, a public-spirited citizen, a faithful friend,
and a generous opponent. His place will not be filled in Marysville. About
the old law office there will always remain a vacancy, and in the memory of the
people of this city and county his memory will long be cherished."

The "Conference Biographical Album of Eminent Men in Methodism
(North West Indiana Conference, 1898)" contains the following biography:
"Rev. E. H. Brumbaugh, S.T.B., M.D., D.D., is a native of Ohio. At an
early age he removed with his parents to Iowa, where he resided with his par-
ents on the farm until he was fourteen years of age, at which time he left home
to complete his education. He studied medicine and received the degree of
M.D. from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Keokuk, Iowa. Dr. Brum-
baugh practised medicine ten years.
Being impressed that he ought to preach the gospel, he received license
to preach and a recommendation to the travelling connection from the Union-
ville (Mo.) Quarterly Conference, and was admitted to the Missouri Confer-
ence in 1882. At the request of the people of Unionville, he was sent to them
as their pastor.
At this time he took a three years' course in Garrett Biblical Institute at
Evanston, 111., and during the time of his attendance at the Institute Or.
Brumbaugh served as pastor of Central Avenue Church. He was president of
his class at Garrett and was chosen by the faculty as one of the commencement
speakers when he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theol-
ogy. He has served as president of the Alumni of Garrett.
Dr. Brumbaugh's first appointment after graduation was to First Church,
St. Joseph, Mo., the most important charge in the Missouri Conference. He
took rank at once as one of the foremost preachers of Methodism in his State.
His discourses on the great moral questions of the day gave him a wide reputa-
tion. Many of his discourses, some of which were on our public schools and
their foes, have been published in book form, and have been circulated in nearly
every State of the Union.
During his pastorate in St. Joseph the church was strengthened with the
addition of 452 members, and was built up in many ways.
In March, 1893, Dr. Brumbaugh was transferred to the Kansas Confer-
ence and stationed at Atchison. His pastorate there was characterized with a
spirit of indomitable energy, intense loyalty to the church and unswerving
opposition to all forms of evil. Dr. Brumbaugh was five years in Atchison. At
the end of the fourth year, he was appointed to the District, but at the request
of the church in Atchison, Bishop McCabe changed the appointment from
District work to the pastorate.
In 1891 Soule College of Dodge City, Kans., gave him the degree of D.D.
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
September, 1897, Dr. Brumbaugh was transferred to the Northwest Indi-
ana Conference and stationed at Crawfordsville. Here his usual success attends
his labors.
Dr. Brumbaugh is a very eloquent and forceful speaker, and as a lecturer,
as well as preacher, has won an enviable reputation. He has more demands for
lectures and addresses than he can meet. He has attracted marked attention
with his pen, and is a paid writer for the Methodist Press."
Dr. Eli Harrison4 Brumbaugh d Jan. 19, 1902, at Chicago, 111., after an
operation for gall stone. His wife lives at Memphis, Scotland Co., Mo., and
furnished the above biography.
July 10, 1891, from St. Joseph, Mo., he wrote: "How soon do you expect
to get out your Brumbaugh History? I am anxious to get hold of it!"
"He is a trained speaker, a man who has something to say and knows how
to say it." — Evans ton (III.) Index.

SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE.
The wintry winds are cold and chill,
The bare trees weep and shiver,
And restless willows sway their boughs
Above the frozen river.
And as I watch the fading sun
That scarcely warms the meadows,
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
I seek to find some sunny soul
To brighten gathering shadows.
But as the last beam fades away,
And I am at the heather,
There joy and home are radiant beams
Amid the wintry weather.

LIFE'S STORY BOOK.
Years make the chapters,
As we grow old ;
Days make the pages,
As deeds are told ;
Hours will paragraph
The kindness shown;
Minute, a sentence,
Is the seed sown ;
Second, a fragment,
Like a swift brook ;
Perhaps, keeps unmarred
Life's story book.

THE FLOWERS OF JUNE.
Oh, how can my spirit of mortal be sad
When the flowers of June are making it glad?
I long for the fragrance of roses in June
And for smiles and blushes when nature's in tune.
Then away to the woods, where wild flowers grow,
To hear the birds singing just all that they know.
I'll speak and I'll sing of the queen of the year,
For no other month is so fragrant or dear.

BRUMBAUGH SONG.
(Tune, "America.")
Our German fathers came,
And brought our famous name,
The name we love.
Name that we praise so well,
Fame from our fathers fell,
Greater than man can tell,
Inscribed above.
May we united be
In great Eternity,
And world below,
Brave in the forests wild,
Where lived the savage child,
Our fathers, strong and mild,
Joined hearts we know.
Our Father, good and great,
Is caring for our fate,
As those of yore.
Long may our voices raise
In gladness and in praise
A song in tuneful lays,
From shore to shore.

(BROMBACH) OF LANCASTER CO., PA.; [Dl] JOHAN MEL-
CHIOR BROMBACH, AND [D2] "THE WIDOW
BRUMBACH" AND THEIR DESCENDANTS.
Within this chapter are gathered interesting findings resulting from
extended research, which, upon the first consideration, were disassociated, but
which are becoming more and more closely identified. It is probable that the
future will make clear at least most of the mysterious points involved ; as the
finding of the Bible records of [D3] Henry2 Brumbach established the proper
spelling of his family name, and the certainty that the Brumback descendants
belong to the "Brumbach Families."
GERMANNA— GERMANTOWN, VA., AND MELCHIOR BRUMBACH.
The reader will look in vain upon current maps for these ancient settle-
ments, and almost in vain in historical literature for descriptions of them ;
yet, in "1721 it [Germanna] marked, the farthest westward advance of civili-
zation in Va." Germanna appears upon the Va. map of Fry & Jefferson,
1751 (a copy of which is in Library of Congress) ; upon the Reid, 1796, map
used in Heads of Families, First Census of the U. S., 1790; and in one other
map. It was the German colony of Gov. Spottswood in Stafford Co. ; was
founded by direct importation in 1714 of iron workers from Nassau-Siegen,
Westphalia, Germany ; and it is of special interest to Brumbach families be-
cause we there find Milcard — Milchert — Melchior Brumbach (various forms
in which the English recorder wrote the names) taking part in the first iron
blast furnace operation in America.
ORDER OF THE VA. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL, APRIL 28, 1714.'
This is apparently the first Va. record of the German colonists (German
Reformed) who settled Germanna in 1714:
"The Governor acquainting the Council that. Sundry Germans to the
number of forty-two men, women and children who were invited hither by
Baron de Graffenreid are now arrived" + + -f- "The Governor therefore pro-
posed to settle them above the falls of Rappahannock River to serve as a

This settlement was at once made a fort by order of the Council; its
inhabitants, in view of their exposed position and their inability to raise crops,
were exempted from "publick Levies of the Government" ; and they were
designated as "Rangers" and thus given general hunting privileges.
AFFIDAVITS OF MILCARD — MILCHERT [MELCHIOR] BRUMBACH
AND OTHERS.
Twelve Germanna colonists made affidavits in June, 1724, for the purpose
of obtaining 1800 acres of land, as shown by the Spottsylvania Co. (Va.)
records/ Germanna was first in Stafford Co., later Prince William, and in
Fauquier about 1720.
"At a Court held per adjournment from yesterday the 2d day of June,
1724, for Spotsylvania County."
"Milcard Brumbach in order to prove his right to take up land according
to the Royal Charter, made oath that he came into this country to dwell in
the month of April, 1714, and that he brought with him Elizabeth his wife, and
that this is the first time of proving their said importation, whereupon certifi-
cates is ordered to be granted them of right to take up one hundred acres of
land."
The names of these colonists were" :
"John Spellman [Spillman] and Mary his wife,
Hamon Fitshback [Herman Fishback] and Kathrina his wife,
John Huffman [John Henry Huffman] and Kathrina his wife,
Joseph Guntz [Coons] and Kathrina his wife and his son John Annilis,
John Fitshback [Fishback] and Agnes his wife,
Jacob Rickart [Rector] and Elizabeth his wife and son John,
"Milchert [Melchior] Brumback, the same order for himself and his wife
Elizabeth."
Dillman Weaver and Ann Weaver his mother,
Lekewin [Likewise ?] Peter Hitt and Elizabeth his wife."
These certificates were not issued until May 30th, 1729.

"The history of Germanna is of importance because the colonists of 1714
were the first organized body of Germans who came as permanent settlers to
Va., and were the pioneers of that sturdy element which has done so much
to develop the western part of the State. Germanna was the first county seat
of Spotsylvania in 1722 and continued as such until 1732. It was originally
in old Essex County, but is in the eastern portion of present Orange Co., on
the south bank of the Rapidan, about thirty miles above Fredericksburg. For
at least seven years Germanna was an armed fort on the extreme western

"These Germans were invited over, some years ago, by the Baron de

of Prodestant Germans, built them a Fort, and finish'd it with 2 pieces of
Cannon and some Ammunition, which will awe the Straggling partys of North-
ern Indians, and be a good Barrier for all that part of the Country. These
Germans were invited over, some years ago, by the Baron de Graffenreed, who
has her Majesty's Letter to ye Governor of Virginia to furnish them with
Land upon their arrival. They are generally such as have been employed in
their own country as Miners, and say they are satisfyed there are divers kinds
of minerals in those upper parts of the County where they are settled, and
even a good appearance of Silver Oar, but that 'tis impossible for any man to
know whether those Mines will turn to account without digging some depth in
the Earth, a liberty I shall not give them until I receive an Answer to what I
represented to your Lo'ps concerning y'r Ascertaining her Maj't's Share,
which I hope by y'r Lo'p's interposition be speedily signifyed" -4- +*
"A settlement of German Protestants was also effected, under the aus-
pices of the Governor, on the Rapidan river, which was called after the name
of his residence, Germanna." "
"In the county of Spotsylvania, Spotswood had about the year 1716,
founded on a horseshoe peninsula of four hundred acres on the Rapidan, the
little town of Germanna, so called after the Germans, sent over by Queen
Anne, and settled in that quarter, and at this place he resided after his retire-
ment. A church was built there mainly at his expense. Possessing an extensive
tract of forty-five thousand acres of land, which abounded in iron ore, he
engaged largely in connection with Robert Cary of England, and others in
Virginia, in the iron manufacture."0 + +
"As to the other Settlement, named Germanna, there are about forty
Germans, Men, Women and Children, who, having quitted their native Country
upon the invitation of Herr Graffenreidt, and being grievously disappointed
by the failure to perform his Engagement to them, and they arriving also here
just at a time when the Tuscaruro Indians departed from the Treaty they had
made with this Government to settle upon its Northern Frontiers, I did, both
in Compassion to those poor strangers, and in regard to the safety of the
Country, place them together upon a piece of land, several Miles without the
Inhabitants, where I built them Habitations and subsisted them until they were
able, by their own Labour, to provide for themselves, and I presume I may,
without a Crime or Misdemeanor, endeavour to put them in an honest way of
paying their Just Debts."" + +

diary of John Fountain." He + + visited the settlement on Nov. 20 and 21,
1715. He says: "About 5 P. M. we crossed a bridge that was made by the
Germans, and about 6 we arrived at the German settlement. We went imme-
diately to the minister's house; we found nothing to eat, but lived upon our
small provisions, and lay upon good straw. Our beds not being very easy, as
soon as it was day we got up. It rained hard, notwithstanding we walked
about the town, which is palisaded with stakes stuck in the ground, and laid
close the one to the other, and of substance to bear out a musket shot. There
are but nine families, and they have nine houses built all in a line, and before
every house, about twenty feet distant from it, they have many sheds built
for their hogs and hens; so that hog styes and houses make a street. The
place that is paled in is a pentagon very regularly laid out, and in the very
center there is a block house made with five sides which answer to the five sides
of the great inclosure ; there are loop holes through it, from which you may
see all the inside of the inclosure. This was intended for a retreat for the
people, in case they were not able to defend the palisades if attacked by the
Indians. They make use of this block house for divine service. They go to
prayers constantly once a day and have two sermons on Sunday. We went to
hear them perform their service, which was done in their own language, which
we did not understand, but they seemed very devout, and sang the Psalms very
well.
This town or settlement lies upon the Rappahannock River, thirty miles
above the falls, and thirty miles from any inhabitants. The Germans live very
miserably. We would tarry here some time, but for want of provisions we are
obliged to go. We got from the minister" a bit of smoked beef and cabbage,
which was very ordinary. We made a collection between us three, of about
thirty shillings, for the minister, and about twelve of the clock we took our
leave, and set out to return."
HUGH JONES' DESCRIPTION OF GERMANNA, 1724.
"Beyond Col. Spottswood's Furnace above the Falls of the Rappahannock
River, within View of the vast Mountains, he had founded a Town called Ger-
manna, from some Germans sent over thither by Queen Anne, who are now
removed up farther : Here he has Servants and Workmen of most handycraft
Trades; and he is building a Church, Court-House and Dwelling-House for
himself; and with his Servants and Negroes he has cleared Plantations about
it, purposing great Encouragement for People to come and settle in that unin-
habited Part of the World, lately divided into a County.

At another place we find: "We spoke with each other about Bethlehem —
400 miles distant through the forest.
"These colonists remained at Germanna until the year 1721, when they
acquired lands in the Northern Neck and removed about twenty miles north-
ward from Germanna, locating in old Stafford Co. That section of Stafford
fell into Prince William in 1730, and later (1759) into present Fauquier Co.
Their new home, called Germantown, was on Licking Run about eight miles
south of present Warrenton, Va. Midland Station, on the Southern Railroad,
is near this ancient settlement, which, in 1721 marked the farthest westward
advance of civilization in Virginia. The importance of the preceding Council
Order and the Court Orders relating to the colonists of 1714, consists in the
fact that these documents settle every doubt which has been raised with refer-
ence to the time when and place from which they came. The Court Orders
also furnish for the first time positive evidence with reference to the names of
all the persons who composed this."6 \

It is now only a ford in the river. Take your map of Va., and in the extreme
northeastern corner of what is now Orange Co., on a remarkable horseshoe
peninsula of about 400 acres, with the Rapidan to the north, west, and east of
it, was the site of this famous town. Gov. Spottswood had a very large tract
of land here ; he had discovered iron on this tract ; he brought these Germans
over to work this body of ore ; he built a furnace near the tract, the ruins of
which have lately been discovered, crumbling to dust, and overgrown with
vegetation ; the Governor built himself a handsome residence on this tract, to
which he retired in 1723, after he ceased to be Governor."

DEED FROM CHILDREN OF "MILCARD BRUMBACK", JULY 23, 1746
July 23, 1746, Stephen Huntzenbiller, Jacob Newswanger and Chris-
topher Wingle of Frederick Co., Va., conveyed for natural love and affection
"which we bear to our beloved brother and sister Henry Otterback and Agnes
Otterback his wife" 100 acres lying in Prince William Co., Va., "in the Ger-
mantown," it being part of the land taken up by John Fishback, Jacob Holtz-
claw and John Henry Hoffman, by grand patent and by them conveyed by a
lease for 99 years yet to come, to Milcard Brumbach, and by him conveyed to
the grantors ; the said lease to Brumbach being recorded in Stafford Co., Va.
This land adjoins that of Elizabeth Rictor and John Fishback.

MARRIAGE OF MARIA GERTRAUDT BRUMBACH, JUNE 5, 1738/
AND THE REV. STOEVERS.
The baptismal and marriage records of Rev. John Caspar Stoever (Notes
and Queries, Egle, 1896, p. 83) contain this important family record:
"June 5, 1738, John Jacob Neuschwunger and Maria Gertraudt Brumr-
bach, Opaken (Opequon)."
Opequon b is an old hamlet with a P. 0. and a creek, in Frederick Co., Va.,
N.E. of Winchester (the northernmost Co. of the State, and S.W. of Hagers-
town, Md.) Frederick Co., Va., was formed from Orange Co. in 1738. In this
connection it is interesting to note that none of the Brumbacks about Opequon
can throw any light upon the life or even existence of these earlier Brumbachs
or their marriages.
The above marriage was made by Rev. John Casper Stoever, Jr. "This
man probably organized more churches than any one else, not even excepting
Muhlenberg himself." c "He also traveled beyond the Susquehanna in a S.W.
direction, penetrating almost to the center of Va., via the Shenandoah Valley,
stopping in Md. on the way, preaching to the scattered Lutherans and bap-
tizing their children."0 He was the first Lutheran minister ordained in the
colonies; was pastor in the Tulpehocken region (Pa.) 1733, after his father
went to Va., to 1779 ; and ministered to the people of all religious beliefs. The
considerable interval occurring before and after the entry of the Brumbach-
Neuschwanger marriage seems to justify the conclusion that he then traveled to
the Opequon, Va., region to see his father, Rev. John Caspar Stoever, Sr.
(Note that this learned and precise German minister spells the name Brumbach,
as Henry3 [D3] also wrote it.) The lives and activities of the celebrated
Stoevers are extensively given in Transactions of The Pennsylvania-German

Lutheran Church in Virginia," and is of exceptional interest. In it he writes :
"Now unto my well beloved son John Caspar Stoever, minister of Conestoken,
unto thee and Michael Schmidt do I give, etc."
"On Sept. 11, 1728, there arrived in Philadelphia Johann Caspar Stoever,
Sr., Missionaire, and Johann Caspar Stoever, S. S. Theo. Stud. The latter re-
mained in Pa. and was instrumental in founding many Lutheran churches.
The former went to Madison County, Va., in 1733 + +." (Va. Hist. Mag.,
Vol. XI, p. 241.)
"The German colony on Robinson river, west of the present town of Mad-
ison, prospered under the kind government of Sir Alexander Spotswood. The
colonists were laborious and pious people. In 1735 they founded a congrega-
tion with Rev. Johann Caspar Stoever [Sr.] as parson, who also took charge
of the church at Germanna, upon Rev. [Gerhard] HenkePs acceptance of a
call to the congregation near the Yadkin River in N. C." (History of the
German Element in Va., Schurecht, 1898, Vol. I, p. 74.)
"Maria Gertraudt Brumbach," "Agnes Otterback" and the wives of Ste-
phen Huntzenbiller and Christopher Wingle were undoubtedly sisters, and
daughters of Melchior Brumbach, deceased, and the three sisters were appar.
ently giving their interest to the other sister in the absence of male heir.
It is evident from the affidavit of June 2, 1724, by "Milcard [Melchior]
Brumbach" that upon landing in 1714 there were no children; as, under the
early Va. laws, an additional allowance of fifty acres was granted for each
child. Mr. Willis M. Kemper reports that the records of Prince William Co.,
Va., are incomplete, owing to destruction during the Civil War, and that the
existing records and those of Fauquier Co. show no further trace of Milcard
or Melchior Brumbach.
Heads of Families — Va., 1782, Frederick Co., gives: "David Nisewanger
5 whites," "John Nisewanger 6 whites" and "Colo. John Nisewanger 7 whites
and 1 black." John Neuschwanger who, on June 5, 1738, m Maria Gertraudt
Brumbach of Opequon, was probably the ancestor of the above persons, but no
extensive efforts have been made to verify the supposition.
The names Huntzenbiller, Wingle and Otterback do not appear in the
above mentioned "Heads of Families," or in the Stoever baptisms and mar-
riages.

The testimony of the early Moravian diaries and the known migration and
close intercourse between the settlement of Germantown, Bethlehem, and Lititz
in Lancaster Co., Pa., and those German settlements of Germanna and Ger-
mantown in Va. seem to indicate a probable relation between the Brumbach —
Broomback who m Anna Julian Kemper, and the Melchior Brumbach of Ger-
manna, who "came into this country to dwell in the month of April, 1714," and
that he brought with him Elizabeth his wife." The compiler's study of the
problems involved also leads to the theory that there is a further relation be-
tween the foregoing and [Dl] Johan Melchior Brombach who landed at Phila-
delphia September 22, 1752, and the [D2] Widow Brumbach (or Brombach),
whom we find in Page Co., Va., about 1760 — recently from Pa. The former
seemingly died in Pa., but the searches thus far possible amongst the records of
Eastern Pa. have failed to throw further light upon the time and place of the
death of [Dl]. He may be the long-sought husband of the "Widow Brum-
bach"; and the latter has been assigned [D2], but is given as the head of the
American ancestry of Section D, in the following pages.

THE WIDOW1 BRUMBACH [D2] AND HER DESCENDANTS."
"About A. D. 1760 a German woman, a widow Brumbach, first name un-
known, with her 5 children settled on the South Branch of the Shenandoah
River above Bixley's Ferry and three or four miles north from Luray, in what
is Page County, Virginia. The family had then recently come from Germany
and probably landed in Pennsylvania and passed through the Tulpehocken
region, that State, without a long stay, into the Luray Valley, Va. The chil-
dren were four daughters and one son — Henry. Two of the daughters were
Elizabeth and Mary, but the names of the others are unknown." '
"A large majority of our first immigrants were from Pennsylvania, com-
posed of native Germans or German extraction. There were, however, a num-
ber directly from Germany, several from Md. and N. J., and a few from N. Y.
These immigrants brought with them the religion, habits and customs of their
ancestors. They were composed generally of three religious sects, viz. : Luth-
erans, Menonists and Calvinists, with a few Tunkers. They generally settled
in neighborhoods pretty much together.
"The territory now composing the County of Page, Powell's fort, and the
Woodstock valley, between the West Fort mountain and North mountain, ex-
tending from the neighborhood of Stephensburg for a considerable distance
into the county of Rockingham, was almost exclusively settled by Germans-.
They were very tenacious in the preservation of their language, religion, cus-
toms and habits. In what is now Page County they were almost exclusively
of the Menonist persuasion; but few Lutherans or Calvinists settled among
them."b

Register of Land Office.
The patent of Lord Fairfax of June 15, 1754, shows that the 400 acres
was conveyed to Michael Coffman for the orphans of Martin Coffman, without
naming them. There is recorded in the County Clerk's office of Frederick
County, Virginia, at Winchester in Volume 10 of Deeds, p. 193, a deed from
Michael Coffman of Lancaster County, Province of Pennsylvania, and late of
the County of Augusta, in the Colony of Virginia, to Henry Bromback and
Ann, his wife, late Ann Coffman, daughter and orphan of Martin Coffman, de-
ceased, of Frederick County, Virginia. This deed is a lease and release dated
April 1, 1765, and conveys the 400 acres* covered by the patent from Lord
Fairfax of June 15, 1754. It is signed by Michael Coffman in German and
attested by Samuel Newman and Thomas Wood and one whose German signa-
ture is illegible. The record of the deed in giving Henry's signature is written
indistinctly, as are most early English transcripts, and the name of Frederick
County reads 'Friederich.' " " (Especial attention is directed to the auto-
graphic Bible Record of [D3] "Henrich Brumbach.")
"Henry2 Brumbach [D3] died testate in 1799 in Rockingham County,
Virginia (that County was established in 1778), and by his will, probated there,
devised the 400 acre Spring Farm tract to his sons [D8] John3 and [D12]
David3, and to his son [D10] Henry3 another tract of 206 acres. By deed
dated May 12, 1805, Book P, p. 338, at Woodstock, Virginia, 'Ann Broom-
bach,' the widow of 'Henry Broombach,' of Rockingham County, Virginia, in
consideration of 150 pounds, released her right of dower in the tracts devised
by Henry Brumbach to his sons John3, David3 and Henry3. The lands were
then in Shenandoah County, established in 1772, under name of Dunmore,
last name being changed to Shenandoah in 1777. Page County was cut off
from Shenandoah in 1831."°

FURTHER RECORDS OF [D3] "HENRY BRUMBACH," AND OF THE
EARLY MENNONITE SETTLEMENTS OF VIRGINIA.
Letter from Dr. John W. Wayland.
"Harrisonburg, Va., Jan. 2, 1912.
"XXX I have just come from the clerk's office (Harrisonburg, Rock-
ingham Co., Va.), and submit the following facts:
April 7, 1806, John3 [D8], Henry3 [D10], and David3 Brumback [D1S],
made a deed to their younger brother, Jacob3 Brumback [D16], which is re-
corded in Burnt Records Deed Book No. 0000, pp. 427, 428. From this deed
it appears that Henry2 Brumback [D3], deceased, made his last will and testa-
ment May 14, 1792, which was duly admitted to record in Rockingham Coun-
ty; that he willed among other things a tract of land each, in Shenandoah
County, to his sons John, Henry, and David; also to his widow, Nancy'
Brumback, the whole of his plantation in the County of Rockingham, called
and known by the name of 'New Glasgow,' until his son Jacob Brumback
[D16] should be 21. Other conditions are mentioned.
It also appears that New Glasgow comprised 124 acres, but as yet I have
not been able to locate it.
Henry signed in German (in 1806). This was Henry, Jr. [D10].
It is quite possible that the land referred to as being in Shenandoah
County is now in Page County.
It is also possible — probable — that Henry Brumback, Sr. [D3], was a
Mennonite, for 4 miles west of Harrisonburg would put him right in a Men-
nonite settlement ; but I find no Mennonite minister by that name in Rocking-
ham. Write Bishop L. J. Heatwole, Dale Enterprise, Rockingham Co., Va.,
who can likely help you regarding the Mennonite relations.
I could not find Henry Brumback's will — many of our records were burned
in 1864. But there are other records regarding the Brumbacks. As yet I
have not found the sale to Daniel Smith XXX
With kindest regards, I remain

nonites who formed the greater part of the Massanutten colony in the page
Valley of the Shenandoah river from 1727 to 1735 — and at all events had
reached this point from Lancaster Co., Pa., coming by way of the Susquehanna
River, Chesapeake Bay, and the Potomac River and across the Blue Ridge
through Swift Run Gap by the Spottswood route of 1716.
The records in my possession show that at least the Ruffners, Stricklers,
Stovers and Kauffmans were Mennonites, and that Michael Kauffman, Jacob
Strickler, Henry Brumbach [D3] and probably Peter Ruffner with John
Rhodes were Mennonite preachers.
The first court of Rockingham County was held April 17, 1778, at the
house of Daniel Smith, two miles north of what is now Harrisonburg. His
father, John Smith, had come from England as an officer in the French and
Indian War, but his wife appears to have been a German woman. It was
Daniel, a son of Daniel Smith, who later became the distinguished Judge Smith
of our county, and his portrait now occupies a prominent place in the County
Court House at Harrisonburg to-day. It was this same Judge Smith who came
into possession of the Brumbach farm as the following records show: [See
D9— p. 275.]
"Deed Book No. 1 Records of Rockingham County Va." Page 73.
Daniel Smith, on 17th day of April, 1806, buys of Henry Brumbach
[D3] through Jacob Brumbach administrator of the will of Henry Brum-
bach a plantation known as the "New Glass" farm for $1500, not including
the part reserved by said will for the benefit of Nancy Brumback the widow of
Henry Brumback during her life time, and containing 90 acres — witnessed and
signed by Hugh Boyd and [D12] David Brumback. [See "Anna" in Bible
Record.]
"Deed Book No. 4. Records of Rockingham County" — Page 268.
In year 1817 (day and year not legible) the heirs of Henry Brumback
sell to Daniel Smith and William Cravens 47 acres of "New Glass" farm as the
dowry of Nancy "Broomback."
The signatures to this deed are: Samuel Kauffman, Abraham Miller, Da-
vid Ruffner (signed in German), David Brumback [D12], Samuel Stover, Sam-
uel Miller, Samuel Brumback [D17], Christian Brumback [D19], Tobias
Brumback [D21], Jacob Brumbach [D16].
According to the phraseology of this deed, which is very wordy and
lengthy, the inference is to be drawn that besides the five sons there were also
five daughters in the family. Of these Barbara [D7] was the wife of Samuel
Kauffman, Elizabeth [Dll] the wife of Abram Miller, Ann [D9] the wife of
268
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
David Ruffner, Susanna [D13] the wife of Samuel Stover, and Mary [D15]
the wife of Samuel Miller.
In making a search through the County Records again, with the assist-
ance of the clerk in charge, it develops that all the names signed to the deed
of the Henry Brumback heirs to Daniel Smith gave affidavit and signed the
deed at Lancaster, Fairfield Co., Ohio, April 27th, 1817.
I am not sure, but the evidence is almost conclusive that almost all the
descendants of the "Massanutten" colony on the Shenandoah River, 1727 to
1735, at a later period settled in the part of Rockingham County, this State,
occupied by the Brumbacks — hence the evidence that the wives of the Brum-
back sons were of the Kauffmans, Stricklers, Millers and Stovers of the same
generation — as were also the husbands of the Henry Brumback daughters.
Have made a fruitless effort to find the will of Henry Brumback, but it is
evident that it was recorded here and lost with many others during the period
of the Civil War.
As to the said Samuel Brumbaugh" being identified with the [D17] Sam-
uel whom you say was born Dec. 17, 1786, cannot be established here further
than that he was of the same generation with the Virginia Brumbacks.
Trusting that the above data may answer the purpose for which you
intend it, and wishing you much success in your efforts to bring forward a
reliable register of the Brumbaugh family, and that in return it may meet
with an extended patronage from a generous public, I beg to remain
Humbly but sincerely,
L. J. HEATWOLE."
THE EARLY MENNONITE CONFERENCE OF VIRGINIA.
The recently discovered fact that Henry Brumbaugh [D3] was a minis-
ter in the Mennonite colony in the Shenandoah valley, together with a number
of others in the second generation closely connected with the ancestors of
various families, and the uncertainty surrounding the principals in the state-
ment, "About A. D. 1760 a German woman, a widow Brumbach, first name
unknown, with her 5 children, settled on the South Branch of the Shenandoah
River," from Pa., etc., requires a close search of the early Mennonite records
of Va. and Pa.
"Up until this time (1800) all ministers and deacons residing in Va.
appear to have been ordained in Pa., and it seems that all matters of organiza-
tion and oversight were vested in the Lancaster Co. (Pa.) conference; in
"A search of the Fairfield Co. (O.) records has not yet been possible since the discovery
of these facts.

preached regularly here, while, still later, mention is made by Saml. Kercheval,
p. 91, "The History of the Valley, of a Mennonite minister, John Rhodes [See
D10 — Marcus Grove m (1) his dau, and Christian Grove m (1) a Rhodes],
who in the latter part of August, 1766, with 4 members of his family — wife
and 3 sons — were killed by the Indians and their home burnt to ashes. His
daughter Elizabeth, carrying her baby sister in her arms, escaped to the barn
and later by flight through a field of tall hemp to the river, which she crossed
in safety. This awful tragedy took place on the Shenandoah River [later]
in Page Co., some miles below Luray. The circumstances of the daughter's
escape, and the burning of the buildings by the Indians was witnessed by the
Stauffer family, who lived on the opposite side of the river."

Michael Alvin Gruber of Washington, Pa. (after all this section was in type),

the supposition of relationship between [Dl] Johan Melchior Brombach and

printed "Widow1 Brumbach," so as to conform to the latest translations.
Brombach and Brumbach are frequently used interchangeably, as found in

John3 [D8] is reported to be the one who changed the spelling of the

"Elizabeth was a woman of great force of character, and one of the
women who with only a limited education, are thoroughly good, true and heroic.
After her husband's failure in Virginia she emigrated to Ohio with her seven
children (1818) ; the youngest, John, being only about 10 years old, remem-
bers walking behind the wagon on the long journey. They located in or near
Licking County, Ohio, where the husband and father followed them later. He
never accomplished a revival of his fortune after coming to Ohio. Upon the
death of the first wife of his son John (youngest), 1835, he and his wife went
to live with him until they died at great age." *
JACOB ROTHGEB— ROADCAP ; "REDEMPTIONER."
Jacob Rothgeb (name in English in many early documents, including
patent of September 15, 1749, hereinafter mentioned, being spelled Roadcap)
settled in the Valley of Virginia some time before 1749. According to tradi-
tion among some of his Virginia descendants, he and a young woman, his fel-
low passenger across the Atlantic, served Joseph S trickier for seven years in
consideration of Strickler having paid for their passage to America, he having
in some way become entitled to their labor for that term for such payment.
During the reign of Frederick the Great, and between 1740 and 1760,
many thousand German emigrants landed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a
number going to the valley of Virginia. Many of these emigrants were from
the Palatinate on the Rhine. Some of these emigrants had money.
"Others again who had not the means of paying their passage across the
Atlantic were, on their arrival at Philadelphia, exposed at public auction to
serve for a series of years to pay their passage. Those thus disposed of were
termed Redemptioners, or Palatine servants. The Palatine Redemptioners
were usually sold at ten pounds, for from three to five years. Of this class
many became men of wealth and influence in their day, and their descendants
are among the first in society, as to intelligence, wealth and respectability.""
A Colonial law of Virginia of March 16, 1642 (1 Henning's Statutes at
Large, page 257), provides:
"Such servants as shall be imported having no indentures or covenants,
either men or women, if they be above twenty years old, to serve four years ;
•According to the late [D231] Jefferson' Brumback.

Cumberland, Franklin, Bedford, Adams and Perry Counties, page 9.

if they shall be above twelve and under twenty to serve five years, and if under
twelve to serve Seaven years."
Other Colonial laws of Virginia on this subject are the following:
Act of March 18, A. D. 1657.
"An act concerning servants and slaves," Oct. 1705.
Probably Jacob Rothgeb and the young woman became bound in Penn-
sylvania to serve Strickler for paying their passage across the Atlantic. They
may, however, have been bound to him under indentures as apprentices, or been
compelled to serve him under the Virginia law, because they were not inden-
tured when brought into the Colony.
After their service to Strickler ended they married and had one son,
George. After the death of this wife Jacob Rothgeb married a widow Good
(first name unknown), and had by her one child, Peter.
Lord Fairfax, by patent dated Sept. 15, 1749, conveyed to Jacob Roth-
geb under the name of Jacob Roadcap 400 acres of land on Mill Run, a few
miles from Luray, Page County, Va. Jacob Rothgeb must have died before
1770, as in that year his sons George and Peter, under the name of Roadcap,
partitioned the 400 acres by deeds. Sometimes his descendants used the name
Rothgeb and sometimes it was written Rotgeb. The name, however written,
must have been pronounced so that Lord Fairfax and other Englishmen under-
stood it to be Roadcap and so wrote it.
George Rothgeb [3] had three wives. His first wife was a Biedler or
Piedler (first name probably Magdalena), and he had by her the following
children : Isaac, Abram or Abraham, Jacob and Elizabeth, latter born Oct. 28,
1766.
The second wife of George Rothgeb [3] was a Graybill or Greybill (first
name unknown), and by her he had the following children: David, Barbara,
George and Christian (twins), their mother dying in childbed soon after their
birth.
There was a son named Daniel, the issue of the first or second wife, who
died very young.
The third wife of George Rothgeb [3] was Barbara Bear, and he had by
her the following children: Samuel, Joseph, John, Michael, Reuben, Henry,
Anna, born January 20, 1874, Esther, Mary, and another girl who died when a
very young baby, and probably without a name. Henry Rothgeb died when a
very young man, about or before the time his father died.
Sixteen children of George Rothgeb [3] survived him for a number of
years, the date of his death being unknown.

BEUMBACH FAMILIES
THE FIRST CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES— VIRGINIA.
Heads of Families — Va., 1785, for Fairfax Co., p. 85, enumerates "John
Bromback" as having a family of "9 white souls, 1 dwelling and 3 other build-
ings."
Page 66 of the same census, in 1784, for Shenandoah Co., Va., mentions
"George Roodcap 14 whites, 0 blacks," and the same in 1785 13 whites, 1
dwelling and 2 other buildings — also in same year and county Isaac Roodcap
as having 2 whites, 1 dwelling and 1 other building.
Page 104 of the same census, in 1785, for Shenandoah Co., states that
Isaac Roodcap had a family of 2 white souls and 1 dwelling, and that Peter
Roodcap had a family of 6 white souls, 1 dwelling and 1 other building. They
were neighbors of Peter, Mary, Benjamin and David Rufner. [See p. 275, &c]
John3 Brumbach [D8] m Elizabeth Rotgeb March 27, 1787. Henrich8
Brumbach [D3] had 10 ch. in 1785, and his autographic Bible Record also
precludes any supposition that his name could be "Johannes Henrich Brum-
bach" [El] who landed at Germantown, Pa., Sept. 30, 1754. The latter is
known to have settled in the Conecocheague district of Md. and thence to have
moved to Pa., with his family of 6 whites, including himself.

on the Hawksbill creek, near Luray, and there lived until 1796, the year of his
removal to Kanawha." ' "Before he was 23 years of age he was appointed
justice of the peace for Shenandoah Co., Va., no small honor in those days of
intelligent and high-toned magistrates. This was the beginning of his magis-
terial career, which with but little intermission continued to the day of his
death, 53 years later." *
"For about forty years his big brain and muscular arm led in a multitude
of important enterprises, both economic and moral. His mind was character-
ized by originality and activity, his energy seemed tireless, and his philanthropy
and public spirit, especially in the latter half of his Kanawha life, seemed to
dominate even his private interests." *
"When David died, Rev. Stuart Robinson, his pastor, wrote: 'Colonel
Ruffner was one of our first settlers, and by general acknowledgment has been
our most useful citizen.' He represented Kanawha in the Va. Legislature in
1799, 1801 and 1802, 1804 and 1811. The Kanawha saltworks and the first
coal mines, the chief industries of this district, were established by this ener-
getic German- Virginian. Col. Ruffner died Feb. 1, 1843.""
Dr. John W. Wayland kindly searched the wills and deeds of Rockingham
Co.c and the result verifies the statement that "Henry Brumbach, a Mennonite
preacher," is [D3] and that he lived in a Mennonite community, where also
lived the RufFners. These discoveries may lead to important findings concern-
ing the identity of the "Widow Brumbach [D2]."
Peter Ruffner came to America "from the German border of Switzerland
in 1732, whilst still a young man." He m Mary Stemman of Lancaster Co.,
Pa., and they settled upon a tract given by his father-in-law in Frederick, later
Shenandoah, now Page Co., Va. There were 6 ch., of which Joseph was the

Heads of Families, Va., 1784, Shenandoah Co., gives the following "Ruff-
ner" enumerations: List of Alexr. Hite, p. 65, gives Benjamin 8 white souls.
Page 66 mentions Emanuel 4 white souls, Peter 9, Reuben 6. For the same
county the list of enumerations in 1785, p. 104, by Edwin Young is: Peter
10, Mary 3, Benjamin 7, Joseph 10. For the same county the list of Richd.
Branham for 1785, p. 105, mentions Reuben as having a family of 5 white souls,
1 dwelling and 2 other buildings.
"In 1789 he [David Ruffner] was married to Ann Brumbach, daughter of
Henry Brumbach," a Mennonite preacher who owned and lived upon the beau-
tiful farm four miles west of Harrisonburg, Rockingham county, which after-
ward became the property and residence of the eminent Judge Daniel Smith.
This was a happy marriage. The sweet face, deep blue eyes, and gentle temper
of the wife softened the sterner and developed the more amiable qualities of the
husband, forming as harmonious a combination as was possible between man
and wife. She ultimately became the well-known and greatly beloved 'Mother
Ruffner' of Kanawha salines, and lived to a great age." b
"Most of the Brumbacks are farmers, industrious, honest, and prosper-
ous. * * * Most of them were Old School Baptists until Eld. Burnam

"David Miller, deceased, Walnut Twp. ; was born in Rockingham county,
Va., Feb. 2, 1803; the eldest son of Abraham and Elizabeth (Brumbach) Mil-
ler. David came with his parents to Ohio in the spring of 1805. He was
educated in Walnut Twp., and assisted his father in clearing the farm, until
his marriage, Dec. 9, 1828, to Frances D., dau of Jacob Guile, a former well-
known resident of Berne Twp. Mrs. Miller was born in this county Sept. 11,
1810. After marriage they continued to reside on the home place. Upon his
father's death, 1831, he took sole charge of the place. His mother resided with
him. In 1833 he built a nice residence. The barn built by his father is still in
use ; it was built in 1820. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were parents of one daughter
and eleven sons, eight sons and the daughter still living, all residents of this
Co. Elizabeth, the wife of John Eversole; three sons still at home, Jacob K.,
an ex-grain buyer, of Millersport ; Josiah C. and Benjamin F. on the home
place. Mr. Miller was grandfather to 30 children and great-grandfather to 4.
They were members of the United Brethren Church. He was a successful
farmer, owning at his death 260 acres — the home place and 110 acres else-
where in the Co. He died Dec. 3, 1882, in his 80th year."
"Henry Miller, farmer, Walnut Twp. [Fairfield Co., O.] ; son of Abraham
and Elizabeth (Brumbach) Miller. He was born in Walnut Twp. Nov. 12,
1805. Abraham Miller, born in Pa., removed to Va., where he was married and
came with his wife and five children to 0. in the spring of 1805, settling in this
township, on the place owned by David Miller, which is still owned by his heirs.

Abraham entered a half section of land and improved it. He raised a family
of nine children, two living: Barbara, widow of Joseph Berry, a resident of
Iowa, and Henry Miller. Abraham Miller was Justice of the Peace for a
number of years. He was a member of the Mennonite Church. He died Sept. 3,
1831 ; his widow March 6, 1862, in her ninety-first year. Henry Miller com-
pleted his education and helped in clearing the home place. In 1826 his
father gave him a one-fourth section of land. This he improved. He built a
hewed log house, where his present residence stands. In 1839 he was married
to Rachel Ann Biddell, who was born in this county. To that marriage have
been born eight children, four of whom are living. Mrs. Miller died about 1861.
Mr. Miller now owns 500 acres. He never desired office, but accepted that of
township treasurer one year. In 1862 Mr. Miller was married to Mary Shane,
who was born in Walnut Twp. They are the parents of three children; one
living, Alma Jane, residing with her father. Mrs. Miller died in 1872. Mr.
Miller is a member of the Baptist Church. He owns 160 acres of land, which
he cleared. He is a self-made man." "

Frutilda (Bearnes) Brumback was thus left a widow at age 28, with a
family of six small children, four girls and two boys, the eldest ten years old,
and the two boys only six and four years old respectively. They inherited
from the husband and father forty acres of wild land with a cabin upon it,
near Johnstown, 0. Only a small portion of this land was cleared, and the
problem of subsistence was one of the most serious character for the widow lo
meet. She showed herself equal to the occasion, and by strict economy and
wise management succeeded in bringing up her family to mature age, with the
exception of the elder boy George5 [D94], who died at the age of nineteen.
The struggle for a living in those early pioneer days in Ohio was most
strenuous, and many were the times when the family subsisted for days on
cornmeal and potatoes. Although the good mother Frutilda had only a lim-
ited education, she realized the desirability of educating her children, and
assisted them to get the common school education afforded in those days. She
also trained her girls in all that goes to make good wives and mothers, so that
they all married well and reared children who have been a credit to their ances-
try. The boy, [D95] John Sanford5, who handed down the family name,
although starting with such limited advantages, became "a man among ten
thousand," with a career so successful that it is set forth at length elsewhere in
this publication.

where they rented a tract of land. The father, [D8] John3, joined his family
three years later and rented a blacksmith shop, in which father and son worked
until the latter was twenty years old. May 8, 1828, [D30] John4 m (1)
Rebecca Davis, b April 20, 1809, and d July 4, 1835 ; dau Samuel and Mary
Davis.
After marriage he settled on the farm of his father-in-law, 5 miles south
of Newark, O., and in three years purchased the same, paying $8 per acre for it.
For several years he conducted a small blacksmith shop upon the farm, also
attending to the farming. Owing to a trouble with his shoulder, he abandoned
blacksmithing and thereafter gave his entire time to tilling the soil and to
stock raising. He gradually acquired 570 acres of excellent land.
"In educational affairs Mr. Brumback has always maintained a deep inter-
est. Having had no advantages in his youth, he has always been especially
desirous that his children should have the best opportunities for gaining a
practical education. They have amply repaid his efforts in their behalf, as
they are well educated men and women, who are highly respected in their sev-
eral communities. For seven years he was Comr. of Licking Co., and for one
term served as J. P. While not a member of any denomination, he is in sym-
pathy with the work of the churches, and was a liberal contributor to the
support of the gospel." *

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
"The Brumback Family."
"The handsome estate adjoining the Pitman home, owned by this family,
justifies a brief mention + + +. The family belongs to the Colonial settlers,
but their first settlement was in old Frederick County, now Page. Joseph
Brumback + + made his home where his son Jacob [D243] now lives, being
the old Carr homestead. There he reared his family and spent a long and
useful life. He was Justice of the Peace for several terms. + + + Dr. Isaac
Milton5 Brumback [D246], living in the same neighborhood ('on the Cedar
Creek Grade,' p. 482), is well known. He has one son, a physician, and also
several (other) children." *
"The Glebe, often called the Glade, was a celebrated tract of land lying
on the west side of the old Cartmell and Froman roads. One part of it is
owned by Mr. Andrew Brumback. This tract occasioned much trouble. When
the first Vestry was formed in Frederick Co., a certain survey was designated
as the Glebe land, to be known as the property of the Established Church
(Episcopal). All revenues to be for the use of the vestry towards the 'living of
the Minister.' In 1754 Nathaniel Carr obtained a grant from Fairfax, and
located where the old Pitman property is now seen. Later on he built a house
where Jacob Brumback now lives. Carr's grant lapped over the Glebe. He
and the vestry compromised, Carr paying a nominal rent, and was the virtual
owner. He sold a portion of his grant and included part of the Glebe to
Peter Gilham in 1777. At this time the vestry was so demoralized by changed
conditions in their church, brought about by the war then in progress, that the
tenants were forgotten; and the Glebe was regarded for many years as the
property of the Gilham estate. Titles to the Glebe were disputed for many
years. Col. Carr, as he was called, retained over 1,200 acres of land at a cost
of one dollar per acre. Several well-known homesteads were founded from this
tract.""

[D95] JOHN SANFORD5 BRUMBACK ([D27] David4, same ancestry
as [D91]), 6 March 4, 1829; d Dec. 11, 1897, and was buried in the family
vault built by himself at Van Wert, Van Wert Co., 0. He was a remarkable
man. Having been brought up by a widowed mother under the most trying
circumstances, he was trained to a life of frugality and taught from childhood
how to battle with the world. Being compelled from boyhood to depend upon
himself and to labor for those he loved, he was one of those strong, self-reliant,
generous men who win the affection of those who know them and make the world
better for their having lived.
John Sanford early showed such self-reliance, sagacity and good judg-
ment that at ten years of age he plowed the fields, and at fourteen attended to
all the family's financial affairs. At eighteen, with only fifty dollars' capital,
he succeeded in obtaining credit sufficient to open a country store in Ashley, O.
In this he was so successful that at the end of five years he had accumulated
two or three thousand dollars, with an income to justify his getting married.
May 26, 1852, at Ashley, Delaware Co., 0., he m Ellen Perlena Purmort,
b Aug. 10, 1832, at Jay, N. Y., and a school teacher at the former place; dau
of Minor and Perlena Nettleton. Her father was s of Joshua and Eunice
(Walworth) Purmort, Joshua Purmort being a descendant of New England
ancestors of that name, and his w Eunice Walworth being a descendant of the
old New England Walworth family/
The Purmort Genealogy gives the following reference to her life:"
"Ellen Purmort, born at Jay, N. Y., August 10, 1832. She was the
oldest child of Minor No. 45 and Perlena Nettleton, his wife. She went with
them to Kempville, Canada, when eight years old, and later to Berlin, Dela-
ware County, Ohio, in the summer of 1847. She taught a term or two of
school at Berlin, and became noted as the little teacher who could manage the
rude, rough boys. Upon the death of her mother in 1850 the care and re-
sponsibility of the large family fell upon her young shoulders, which burden
she kindly and successfully assumed for two years. As the oldest in the large
family of children, she had passed through all the trials and burdens of her
parents in their losses and removals and sad experiences, yet she kept a happy
heart and was her father's helper in those heavy years. On May 27, 1852, at

Ashley, Delaware County, Ohio, she was married to John Sanford Brumback,
a merchant at Ashley. Owing to poor health of her husband, they moved on a
farm on the Old State Road north of Worthington, Ohio, where they lived for
two years. They then moved to Casey, Clark County, Illinois, where Mr.
Brumback again engaged in mercantile business and succeeded very well. In
the spring of 1852 they moved to Van Wert, Ohio, a new and undeveloped
country at that time, and there they made their home and have lived ever since.
Mr. Brumback was a shrewd, thrifty business man, and became at Van Wert a
man of influence and wealth. Beginning as a poor boy, he made his way up
the ladder to a noted financial success."
The loving and sacrificing nature of Mrs. Brumback and her husband was
well shown when her parents died shortly after her marriage, and they took into
their own home her five young brothers and sisters, for whom she and her good
husband made a home and brought up two of them as their own children to
lives of usefulness. What this meant in the early days when the wife of a
household did most of her own work can hardly be appreciated in these days of
labor-saving appliances and small families.
When her husband moved to the fai*m, he employed two and sometimes
three or four farm hands to help him on the farm. Mrs. Brumback did most
of the housework and had a hired girl to help her only part of the time. She
tells how she would bake six loaves of bread a day for the large family of seven
and hired help, and that they would eat a whole sheep in three or four days.
About this time her eldest son, Orville, was born, so that the young wife's
life was not an easy one ; but she was happy and uncomplaining, and her untir-
ing efforts to help her husband doubtless brought the good health that now
rewards her with a happy old age.
One of those unselfish, self-sacrificing characters who think of others more
than of themselves, she was a loving, faithful mother, and an unfailing inspira-
tion and helpmate to her good husband until his death. It was her wise
counsel and frugality that enabled him to accumulate his ample fortune. The
fact is that few men who start in life without a fortune ever succeed in acquir-
ing one unless they have wives to help them who are willing to work and econo-
mize. Certainly none do when the fortune comes through safe business methods
without speculation. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Brumback were a happy, congenial
pair, and the world helped them because they helped themselves — by living
sober, prudent, industrious lives. They lived as a husband and wife should —
she as an unfailing inspiration and helpmate to the husband, and he a loving,
tender husband to the wife.
In 1858 he removed to Casey, Clark Co., 111., where he again embarked in
a country store business with such success that when in the spring of 1862 he
296
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
moved his family to Van Wert, 0., he brought with him $5,000 in gold which
he and his good wife had accumulated by careful economy.
Van Wert County was then a new and thinly settled country. Mr. Brum-
back embarked in the dry goods business, and used such good judgment and
so won the confidence of the people and made such wise investments, that he
gradually increased his fortune until in 1884 he sold out his dry goods business
and became president of the Van Wert National Bank.
As a banker Mr. Brumback was careful, conservative and withal progres-
sive. He became well known all over Northwestern Ohio, and became one of
the leading citizens of that section. He helped create and finance many enter-
prises of great value to the people, notably the Cincinnati, Jackson & Macki-
naw Railway (now part of the Big Four system), which he undertook when it
seemed Ohio was about to lose this valuable adjunct to its prosperity. He
never was identified with a failure, and so when he took hold the people knew
it would be a success, and gave it the hearty assistance it so greatly needed.
Mr. Brumback was prominent in many other large enterprises in Northwestern
Ohio, such as The Central Manufacturers' Insurance Company, and a Toledo
Street Railway Company, which he likewise started on the road of prosperity
when collapse was imminent to the great loss and damage of large numbers of
people.
Space forbids further details of Mr. Brumback's large and active business
career. It is sufficient to say that seldom has any man ever carried on a more
upright business career, and no man ever more enjoyed the entire confidence
of the people.
In his later years Mr. Brumback's generous heart, always seeking to do
good for his fellowmen, prompted him to found a public library for his native
town. It was before Mr. Carnegie had entered upon his library career, and
the idea of building and donating a public library building was not so common
then as now. Mr. Brumback, after consulting with the members of his family
and being encouraged by them, had plans prepared for a fine library building
to be located in a particularly beautiful park in Van Wert; but when the plans
were about perfected he was taken seriously sick and shortly died. Find-
ing he would not be able to carry out his library plans, he called his son Or-
ville6, a lawyer in Toledo, to his home in Van Wert, and there after fully dis-
cussing the project with the members of his family, his will was drawn, provid-
ing for a library that would forever be a monument to the Brumback name.
But even in so important a matter as this the loving, sympathetic, self-
sacrificing heart of the man was shown by the fact that he ordered his will so
drawn that any one of the heirs could defeat the project if not willing to join
in the expense.
DESCENDANTS OF THE WIDOW BRUMBACH
297
Another feature of the will is the unique idea, undoubtedly original with
Mr. Brumback, of having the library benefits extended to the whole county, so
that the country folks as well as the town folks could reap the benefits. This
idea has been carried out with the greatest success, and the Brumback Library
has the proud distinction of being the first County Library ever inaugurated.
At this date (December, 1910) the library has fifteen sub-stations, located in
different parts of Van Wert County, bringing the books within walking dis-
tance of all the farmers' homes. A small salary is paid to each person having
charge of a sub-station, and books are delivered at each station in traveling
boxes, which contain 125 books each. They start at Station No. 1, and in
turn are sent to each of the other stations before being returned to the Central
Library. The school teachers over the county, some fifty in number, are also
.supplied with books for their pupils, and annually circulate a large number
of instructive books among the children. The interest taken by the country
people and benefits they derive are shown by the great number of books drawn
from the sub-stations.
The terms of the will under which the Brumback Library was built are of
such interest that it is given in full :
LAST WILL OF [D95] JOHN SANFORD5 BRUMBACK.
In the name of the Benevolent Father of all, I, J. S. Brumback, of Van
Wert, Ohio, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do make and publish
this my last Will and Testament.
It is my will and I do give and devise and bequeath all my property, both
real and personal, as follows :
Item 1. I do give, devise and bequeath all my property, both real and
personal and mixed, to my dear wife, Ellen P. Brumback, so long as she may
live, she to have and enjoy all the income from the same so long as she may
live. If it becomes necessary for her comfort and best welfare to use any part
of the principal it is my will that she may do so in so far as it may be abso-
lutely necessary for her personal comfort and best welfare.
The foregoing bequest and devise to my said beloved wife to be in lieu of
her dower estate in my property.
It is my further will and devise that my said wife leave the management
and control of all my said property to my living children (a majority con-
trolling), so long as they profitably manage the same.
Item 2. I do give, devise and bequeath to my dear children, Orville S.
Brumback, David L. Brumback, Estelle B. Reed, and Saida M. Brumback,
per stirpes, all my property, both real, personal and mixed, in fee simple and
5398
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
absolutely, subject, however, to the life estate of my dear wife, Ellen P. Brum-
back, and conditions thereof as contained in Item I.
Any notes that I hold against any of my said children by way of advance-
ment to them to be taken out of his or her respective share (without interest).
Item S. Feeling a great regard for my fellow townsmen of Van Wert,
Ohio, and affection for the said city, in which I have spent so many happy
years of my life, I have long contemplated a gift to them of a Library Building
as a token of my affection and regard. In that behalf I have had plans pre-
pared for such a building, but owing to the condition of my health have not
been permitted to enter upon its construction. It is my will and desire that my
said dear wife and children expend sufficient of my estate willed to them in
Items 1 and 2 to carry out my wishes known to them by the erection and gift
of a library building, something after the plans and designs I have had pre-
pared for that purpose ; Provided and this item is upon the express condition,
that my said wife and children can make arrangements satisfactory to them
with the said City of Van Wert, or if they desire and think best, with Van Wert
County, for a location for said building and the maintenance of the library to
be placed therein.
Item 4. It is my will that my said dear wife and children, or so many of
them as may desire to qualify, act as executors of my estate, without giving
bond or having any appraisement thereof. I know they will not fail to carry
out my wishes herein stated, whether sufficiently stated in law or not.
In witness whereof, I, the said J. S. Brumback, have hereunto set my name
and do declare and publish this instrument as my last will at Van Wert, Ohio,
this the 29th day of March, A. D. 1897.
J. S. BRUMBACK. [Seal]
When, after Mr. Brumback's death (Dec. 11, 1897) the heirs came to
arrange a contract with the County of Van Wert for the maintenance of the
library after it was started, it was found there was no law in Ohio under which
a contract could be executed. This afforded an excellent pretext for the heirs
or any one of them to have declined to go further, but they all inherited a good
deal of the Brumback loyalty, and so set about it to get a law enacted to give
the County Commissioners power to act. Orville S.6 Brumback prepared a
bill to introduce in the Legislature, and, with the assistance of prominent men
all over the State, the Van Wert people succeeded in having it enacted into a
law as follows :
A BILL
To supplement Section 891 of the Revised Statutes of Ohio, so as to provide for tht ^accept-
ance of Bequests, Donations, and Gifts for Public Libraries, and to Equip and Maintain
the same.
Plate 75
Plate 76
THE BRUMBACK LIBRARY
299
Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, that Section 891,
of the Revised Statutes of Ohio, be supplemented so as to read as follows:
Section 891 (a). The Commissioners may receive a bequest, donation, or gift of a build-
ing, or property wherewith to construct a building for a County Public Library in the
county-seat of the county; and may enter into an agreement on behalf of the county to
provide and maintain a Public Library therein. Any county accepting such bequest, donation
or gift shall be bound to faithfully carry out the agreement so made to provide and main-
tain such Library.
Section 2. The Commissioners of any such county are hereby authorized, at the March
or June session each year, to levy a tax of not exceeding one mill on each dollar of taxable
property of such county, and the fund derived from such levy shall constitute a special fund
to be known as Library Fund, and shall be used for no purpose other than is contemplated
in this section.
Section 3. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. — (Sec.
93, Ohio Laws, 355.)
The next step was to accomplish an agreement with the County Com-
missioners that would forever insure the maintenance of the library upon a
broad basis and provide ample funds for carrying it on in a way to enable it to
accomplish all that such a library ought to accomplish. How the negotiations
were carried on to this end, and the terms of the contract as finally agreed to,
is best told by The Van Wert Republican, in its issue of Thursday, July 28,
1898:
THE BRUMBACK'S MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Offered the People of Van Wert County. Conditions Upon Which This Great Gift Is Made.
"For several months, those who have the welfare of Van Wert County people at heart,
have been anxiously inquiring what was being done toward accepting the late J. S. Brum-
back's magnificent gift to the county of a fine library building. Owing to the absence of
Hon. O. S. Brumback in the West, the matter was delayed somewhat, and nothing was done
until his return. The heirs have now submitted to the citizens of Van Wert County a
contract, and, upon the signing of which, they are prepared to proceed to erect and furnish
a Public Library building that any county in the State may feel proud of, costing upward
of $50,000 to be presented to the county of Van Wert free of all incumbrances. The heirs
of the late J. S. Brumback, desiring that his liberal gift should be of a personal benefit to
every person in the county, have wisely determined to offer it to the entire county. The
only condition they make is that first, the representatives of the people of the county and
the Board of County Commissioners enter into an agreement to care for. the building after
they have received it. The town council of Van Wert is asked to enter into the contract,
inasmuch as they control in part, the proposed site, the Second Ward park. Let it be
distinctly understood that the town of Van Wert has never had the offer of this magnificent
gift, does not now, and we fear never will, only in common with the county. The heirs have
concluded to offer it to 30,000 people and not limit its benefits to 8,000. The Van Wert
Library Association is ready to donate its little library of nearly 2,000 volumes as well as
other properties as a starter for a good county library. We understand if the offer is ac-
cepted and the building erected, that local librarians will be appointed in every district in
the county and that the rules and regulations will be made such that the people living in the
remotest part of the county may borrow just as many books to read at their homes as those
living nearest the building.
The progressive farmers of our county have already, at their meetings, expressed their
readiness to accept so generous a gift, and are willing to pay their mite to maintain the
building. Copy of the contract given below has been presented the Ladies' Library Associa-
tion, the Board of County Commissioners, and the Common Council of Van Wert. There is
no reason whatever why any member of these bodies should hesitate to sign the contract on
behalf of the people. We fear this may be the last opportunity to accept or reject, and if
they fail to sign the contract Van Wert county people may forever lose the privilege of
receiving a gift, which if accepted, will be greatly appreciated not only by the present genera-
300
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
tion, but thousands yet to be, will express their gratitude for so great an inheritance. We
look for prompt action to be taken in the matter, and it is a settled fact that all who bend
their efforts to secure such a gift for Van Wert county will be forever considered as bene-
factors of the people of our county.
Van Wert, Ohio, July 16, 1898.
To the Ladies' Library Association, the Board of County Commissioners of Van Wert County,
Ohio, and the Common Council of The City of Van Wert, Ohio.
Ladies and Gentlemen: —
To carry out the will of the late J. S. Brumback, we hand you herewith a copy of an
agreement we have prepared providing for the construction of a Library Building in the
Second Ward Park of Van Wert, Ohio, and for the maintenance therein of a free public
library for the benefit of the citizens of Van Wert County, Ohio.
We have endeavored by the terms of the contract to insure the success of the library when
the building is erected in accordance with the designs which Mr. Brumback had prepared for it.
We request that your respective bodies give the matter your early consideration and
advise us if the terms meet your approval.
We believe such a library will prove so great a success that other counties in the State
will in a few years acquire like institutions.
Assuring you of our desire to facilitate the project in eTery reasonable way, we remain,
sincerely yours,
Ellen P. Brumback,
Orvili.e S. Brumback,
David L. Brumback,

Satda M. Brumback.
AGREEMENT.
Whereas, The will of the late J. S. Brumback provides as follows:
"Feeling a great regard for my fellow townsmen of Van Wert, Ohio, and affection
for the said city, in which I have spent so many happy years of my life, I have long con-
templated a gift to them of a library building as a token of my affection and regard. In
that behalf I have had plans prepared for such a building, but owing to the condition of
my health have not been permitted to enter upon its construction. It is my will and desire
that my said dear wife and children expend sufficient of my estate willed to them in items
one and two to carry out my wishes known to them, by the erection and gift of a library
building, something after the plans and designs I have had prepared for that purpose;
provided and this item is upon the express condition that my said wife and children can
make arrangements satisfactory to them with the said city of Van Wert, and if they desire
and think best, with Van Wert County, for a location for said building and the maintenance
of the Library to be placed therein."
And whereas, The heirs of the estate of the said J. S. Brumback are unanimous
in their desire to fully carry out his wishes as expressed in his will;
And whereas, A free public library would be of inestimable benefit to the people of Van
Wert County, Ohio, and afford to them, their children, and descendants most valuable privi-
leges and educational advantages;
ifow, therefore, For the purpose of carrying out the will of the said J. S. Brumback,
to establish a free public library for the people of Van Wert County, Ohio, and to provide
for the proper equipment and maintenance thereof,
It is agreed by and between Ellen P. Brumback, Orville S. Brumback, David L. Brum-
back, Estelle B. Reed, and Saida M. Brumback, heirs of the said J. S. Brumback, parties of
the first part, and H. H. Ludwig, Peter Knittle and H. G. Schumm, County Commissioners
of Van Wert County, Ohio, and their successors in office, parties of the second part; and
the Ladies' Library Association of Van Wert, Ohio, party of the third part; and The

The parties of the first part do covenant and agree that they will with all reasonable
despatch build and construct a stone library building in the Second Ward Park of The
Village of Van Wert, Ohio, in first-class condition, substantially as shown in the drawings
which the said J. S. Brumback had made therefor in his lifetime, and will furnish the same
with the necessary furniture and heating apparatus, ready for use for the library to be
placed therein, as hereinafter provided.
THE BBUMBACK LIBRARY
301
And the parties of the first part further agree to turn over and donate on behalf of the
said J. S. Brumback's estate said library building, so built and constructed, to the County
of Van Wert, Ohio, free of all encumbrances or charges thereon, to be held by said county
and used for library and educational purposes only.
In consideration of the receipt of the said library building and the donation thereof as
aforesaid to the County of Van Wert, Ohio,
The parties of the second part do covenant and agree for themselves and their suc-
cessors in office that the said Van Wert County will forever maintain and operate in said
building a free public library for the benefit of the citizens of the whole county. And in
that behalf do promise and agree that the Commissioners of said Van Wert County will
each year at their March or June session levy a tax as the Board of Trustees of said
library may designate not exceeding one-half a mill upon each dollar of taxable property of
said Van Wert County, to form a library fund with which to so maintain and operate said
library. Said library fund so to be raised by said tax shall constitute a special fund in the
hands of the Treasurer of Van Wert County, Ohio, to be drawn upon only by the Board of
Trustees of said library as hereinafter provided.
Said parties of the second part further covenant and agree that the said parties of the
first part shall have full right and authority to enter upon the said Second Ward Park in
The Village of Van Wert, and there construct said building in compliance with the plans
and directions of the architect thereof with the right to occupy, grade, improve and em-
bellish said park as may be directed by the architect of said building.
The parties of the third part (a duly incorporated association under the laws of the
State of Ohio), in consideration of the construction and donation of said library building
by the parties of the first part, do covenant and agree that they will turn over and donate
to the free public library to be placed in said building all the books, furniture, money or
other personal property of said association, to be and become the property of the said
County Library.
And the party of the fourth part (a duly incorporated Village, and County Seat of Van
Wert County, Ohio), in consideration of the construction and donation of the said library
building by the parties of the first part, does covenant and agree that the said parties of the
first part shall have full permission to enter upon the said Second Ward Park in The
Village of Van Wert, Ohio, and there to construct said building, and to occupy, grade,
improve and embellish said park as may be directed by the architect of said building.
It is further mutually covenanted and agreed by and between all the parties hereto
that the said County Library herein provided for shall be called the "Brumback Library."
It shall be managed and controlled by a non-partisan board of seven trustees, who shall be
appointed for a term of three years, and until their successors are duly appointed, as fol-
lows, to-wit: Two to be appointed by the parties of the first part or their descendants.
Three to be appointed by the parties of the second part or their successors, and two to be

GIFT ACCEPTED.
The Brumback Library Building Will Be Erected. — The County Commissioners Give Unani-
mous Consent for Its Maintenance.
At the office of the Van Wert County Commissioners, on Saturday last, one of the most
Important meetings ever held in this county assembled and its acts have passed into history.
The proceedings will adorn a bright page. They are an honor to those who took part in
them. They secure to this county an educational distinction possessed by few in the State
and by no other county in the prosperous northwest. At the same time, they give to all,
old and young, in town and country, benefits which are an auxiliary to and in harmony and
sympathy with our peerless public school system.
The County Commissioners, by this act, have honored themselves, have made a record
to which they can point with pride" in all time to come, and which will grow in popularity as
the years roll on, by saying "Yes" — every man of the same opinion — to the proposition of
the heirs of the late John Sanford Brumback, to carry out a stipulation of the will of their
father, which provides for the gift to Van Wert County of a public library building, of
magnificent proportions, fully furnished and equipped for the purpose for which it is in-
tended— the home of a free public library. It is the most valuable gift ever bestowed upon
the citizens of Van Wert County, and will remain for all time a monument to the generosity
of the donor, an embellishment to our magnificent parks, a lasting benefit to every citizen
of the county.

THE BRUMBACK MEMORIAL.
Laying of the Cornerstone at Van Wert To-Day.— Beginning of the Beautiful Building for
the Brumback Memorial County Library.
[Special Telegram to The Blade.}
Van Wert, O., July 18— The cornerstone of the Brumback Memorial County Library, a
building that will cost $50,000, donated to the county of Van Wert by the late J. S. Brum-
back, president of the Van Wert National Bank, was laid to-day in Second Ward Park,
Van Wert. The ceremonies were conducted under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of Ohio,
F. & A. M., Grand Master Nelson Williams acting as master of ceremonies.
The event was made a county affair in every particular. Every fraternal organization
in the county was well represented. A grand parade of lodges and citizens, headed by
several bands, marched and counter-marched through the principal streets of the city. Tt
was a grand spectacle, showing in a measure the appreciation of Van Wert County citizens
for a gift that any county in this rich country of ours might well feel proud of. The
exercises consisted of several selections by Heistand's band; prayer by Rev. J. A. Gordon;
oration by Rev. A. J. Fish; selections by Venedocia Club; address by Hon. O. S. Brumback
of Toledo; proclamation by the Grand Marshal; prayer by the Grand Chaplain; presenta-
tion of a silver trowel to 'the Past Grand Master; invocation by the Worshipful Master;
Masonic ceremonies; lowering of the stone; laying of the same, and an oration by Grand
Master Nelson Williams. The ceremonies and exercises throughout were .impressive and
grand.
One of the provisions of this magnificent gift was that it was to be maintained by the
county and every citizen in the county was to share equally of its benefits. A general law
was passed by the last legislature authorizing county commissioners to accept similar gifts
and empowering them to enter into a contract for the maintenance of the same by levying a
small tax on all the taxable property of the county.
The Brumback library will be one of the finest buildings for library purposes possessed
by an American city. No town in this great State of Ohio can equal it. It is erected
throughout of the most costly and lasting material, and is a lasting monument to its donor
and a grand memorial to the liberality and faithfulness of his heirs, who so nobly carry out
his wishes. The ceremonies held in the city of Van Wert to-day will long be remembered
by all who participated.
The address of Hon. O. S. Brumback, of Toledo, was as follows:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends of Van Wert County :— There are occasions in the
affairs of men, of nations and of communities which mark epochs in their history. To-day
marks an epoch in the history of Van Wert County. Fifty years ago this county was a
primeval wilderness, inundated by water that had no sufficient outlet. This beautiful park
was formerly a swamp from the overflow of the neighboring stream, and even here where
we now stand I have, in my boyhood days, fished in summer waters, and in winter skated
on unyielding ice.
"It has only been by years of tireless toil and unremitting industry that Van Wert
County has been redeemed from swamp and beast and forest, until it has become the
garden spot of Ohio. When the genial summer sun kisses her loamy soil and the 'tears of
Nature' fall upon her fertile fields —
'Every clod feels a stir of might,
An instinct within it that reaches and towers,
And, groping blindly above it for light,
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers.'
"With such a metamorphose to accomplish in the face of nature, with all the privations
consequent upon such work, it is little wonder the mass of the people have had but scanty
opportunity for higher education. The schoolhouses which dot the townships, and the church
spires towering amid the groves and meadows, all give proof that the people of Van Wert
County have been awake to the need of early education tempered with righteousness. But
it is reserved for to-day to inaugurate an era of the broadest education and the widest
culture for all the people.
"In laying the cornerstone of this library we are taking steps to place the knowledge and
wisdom of all the ages within the reach of the humblest citizen and his children.
"Edward Everett said: 'It is our common schools which give the key of knowledge to
304
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
the mass of the people. Our common schools are important in the same way as the common
air, the common rain, the common sunshine, invaluable for their commonness.'
"Carrying forward these beautiful analogies, we may well add, it is our public libraries
that form the repositories of knowledge, ready for the application of the key of knowledge.
Our public libraries are important in the same way as the public parks, the public high-
ways, the public government, invaluable for their publicity. »
"The common school system can only afford a preparatory education for the youth of
our land. To utilize and make the most of that education is the work of a lifetime after
leaving the public schools. And here is where the public library opens wide its doors to
freely offer its treasures of learning.
"When Abraham Lincoln was a poor country boy yearning for that higher education by
which alone he could aspire to lead his fellowmen, his opportunities for acquiring knowledge
were so limited, it is almost miraculous he persevered in his purpose until he became the
savior of his country, the emancipator of a race.
"Alas, how many minds equally bright have become discouraged under such conditions
and given up a higher education through lack of opportunity !
"That the people of this country are willing to tax themselves for the growth and
maintenance of a library speaks volumes for their intelligence. It shows they realize that
just in proportion to the advantages offered will Van Wert County afford a desirable place
to live, and every acre of land and every piece of property thereby proportionately increased
in value. It shows they realize that success in life comes not from accident, but from intelli-
gent action based on the wisdom and experience of those who have lived before.
"The public library gathers the books in which are stored this wealth of human knowl-
edge; and there the people of every occupation, creed and profession can go to learn the
best method to accomplish the best results. It is not too much to say that under the inspira-
tion of such a work, under the inspiration of such an institution, generation after generation
will reap boundless benefit from the Brumback library.
"He whose name it bears was himself an example of what the poor country boy can
accomplish by high aspirations and intelligent, faithful industry. He himself realized what
it was to be debarred from the higher education through lack of opportunity, and in the
liberality of his generous heart, with true philanthropy, he willed that Van Wert County
boys and girls — the sons and daughters of his old friends and associates, should have oppor-
tunity second to none in the land. When that is accomplished, John Sanford Brumback
will not have lived in vain.
"And when in the future under the beneficent example of Van Wert County other
counties in Ohio, yea, the counties of other States, shall have followed in our footsteps and
laid cornerstones of county libraries, to Van Wert County will belong the meed of praise
as leader in a glorious work. Though young in years, she will be among the foremost in
achievement.
"And when in the widening brotherhood of man, every one shall feel he is his brother's
keeper; when each shall know that all he is or can be he owes his fellowmen, and in return
stands charged with a debt of gratitude only to be repaid by the happiness he secures for
others; when all society realizes that by higher education, a better, nobler, broader civiliza-
tion can be attained, in which the happiness of each is best secured by the happiness of all;
then will come 'peace on earth, good will to men.' Then the era upon which we are now
entering of humanity for humanity will have accomplished its full fruition, and the corner-
stones of public libraries will not have been laid in vain.
"And each shall care for other,
And each to each shall bend,
To the poor a noble brother,
To the good an equal friend."
It took a year and a half to build and complete the library, and on New
Year's Day, 1901, it was ready to be dedicated. The following is the program
of the exercises :

THE BRUMBACK LIBRARY.
Dedicated Tuesday, January 1, 1901.
An appreciative audience of grateful people filled every foot of space in the large
auditorium of the First M. E. Church, New Year's afternoon, to participate in the exercises
attendant on the dedication of the Brumback County Library Building — the grandest gift
ever bestowed upon the people of this county. Long before two o'clock, the time announced
the exercises would commence, standing room was at a premium. As we looked over the sea
of faces it was indeed a delight to notice not only the splendid representation of the citizens
of Van Wert, but also among the throng in large numbers the citizens of the various town-
ships of our county, for the library belongs to them as much as to the citizens of the town.
It was a day upon which the boy of the farm and the boy of the city alike cherished their
fondest hopes of having equal rights and privileges to enter the portals of a storehouse of
knowledge far grander and superior in every way than had the most ambitious ever expected
to enter.
Turn where you will from the Norman Conquest, along the whole course of English
history, and you will find the source of strength of the English-speaking race lies largely in
their love of books; and so the habits of mind and of morals engendered in the citizens of
our county by their great love for the noblest and the best were never better demonstrated
than by their presence from every section of our county at the dedicatory exercises. They
all realize that books are the strength of individuals and nations.
All the time the Brumback Library has been in course of construction the interest of the
people has increased, until to-day the splendid building bequeathed to the county through
the generosity of John Sanford Brumback is the pride of all, and as we review it all it is
no wonder that strangers from other States in the throng Tuesday afternoon and evening
wished that they, too, lived in this town and county to enjoy in the fullest measure the
benefits to be derived from such an institution.
The Rev. James A. Gordon, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, presided over the
exercises, and the splendid musical portion of the program was under the direction of W. H.
Hiestand, who conducted a mixed chorus, accompanied by Moebus' Orchestra. Hiestand's
Band played during the reception in the building in the evening. A very pleasing feature
306
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
of the afternoon exercises was the two solos rendered by Mr. Charles W. Clark, a Van
Wert boy, who has delighted audiences at home and abroad. He is always welcomed home,
but never more cordially than this time, when he voluntarily came home to help our people
sing the songs of joy upon receiving such a handsome present on the dawn of the twentieth
century.
Rev. Gordon, in his introductory remarks, spoke as follows:
"Ladies and Gentlemen : — I do not believe that in all the world there will be a celebra-
tion of the new year, or the new century, more significant and typical of the spirit of
progress that marks the age than we are having here to-day. Here, where a hundred years
ago was an unbroken wilderness, the home of savages and wild beasts, we dedicate to-day a
temple of civilization and knowledge, noble in the spirit that prompted it, classic in its
architectural beauty, and complete in all its appointments. As one who has been interested
in the library from its inception and who participated in the cornerstone laying, I rejoice in
this proud day for the people of Van Wert County. I have the honor to introduce the
exercises of this afternoon. We have a rich and varied program and while it is somewhat
lengthy, this is an event which will never occur again, and I am sure you will all give patient
attention to the speakers."
Presentation Address by Hon. O. S. Brumback, of Toledo.
The following splendid address of presentation of the building by Hon. O. S. Brumback,
of Toledo, the eldest son of the generous donor, needs no word of commendation. Words are
inadequate to express the gratitude of our people and their feeling as they listened to the
revelations herein contained: ,
"Ladies and Gentlemen :— Men may come and men may go, but their thoughts inscribed
in books live after them. Books afford the true transmigration of souls, since in them the
minds of men live on long after their bodies have returned to dust. A library is a mausoleum
of the souls of great men and women who have lived on earth, and the open doors of a
public library are a standing invitation to enter and become acquainted with them. He
who accepts the invitation should tread lightly and with awe, for there the learning of the
ages awaits his call. The scintillating wit, the flights of eloquence, and the rhythmic pathos
of the human race there surround him; and there the hopes and fears, the sorrows and joys,
the failures and successes of mankind for centuries are portrayed to him who reads
"The pleasure, the satisfaction, the profit, that books afford cannot be overstated. Do
you desire to ponder over the glorious achievements of men? Gibbon, Macauley, Bancroft and
all the rest will detail with faithful accuracy the history of the past. Do you desire to revel
in imaginary scenes of human life? Dickens, Scott, Thackeray, Cooper and hundreds of
others will lead you through scenes and bring you face to face with characters, so tm to
life that you forget it is all a fiction of the brain. Do you desire to wander through Llysian
fields where poesy lulls the senses into sweet content? Then Shakespeare, Byron, Tennyson,
Bryant, Longfellow, or other of the hundred bards will carry you away on the wings of
ecstasy, until with Wordsworth you feel—
" 'For ever something is or seems,
That touches us with mystic gleams,
Like glimpses of forgotten dreams.'
"Long days become as hours, and dull hours fly unnoticed, when rapture thrills the heart,
and the weary brain forgets its tribulations in the entrancement of a good author.
"Assembled as we are to-day, to dedicate a temple to literature, the mind spontaneously
recurs to all that books are to man. .
"After printing was invented, books at first were to be found only in the convents of
mediaeval times, ponderous in size and crude in form. Learning was then confined to the
priesthood, few among the people could read, and inability to write, even among the nobility,
caused the use of a signet seal. , , ... .
"From the convents, books gradually spread into the hands of the people, until at the
time of the Colonial Period in America most families had one or more books, commonly a
Bible with a few others. Books being so precious, favored was he who had access to a few
volumes and happy was the one who had a small library at his command. Because of the
scarcity' and value "of books, no one was able to acquire a library of much magnitude, and
from the very necessity of the situation, following the Colonial Period came the Institutional
Period, from about 1638 to 1731, when libraries were to be found in Harvard, Princeton,
Yale and other early colleges.

THE BEUMBACK LIBRARY
307
"In 1731 began a Co-operative Period, in which men and families clubbed together in
cities and villages to form libraries of their own. This lasted until 1854, when the Free
Public Library Period was inaugurated by Boston opening a library free to all who sought
admission. From Boston they have spread over the country, until to-day nearly every city of
note in the United States, and many villages as well, have their free public libraries to pro-
mote education and intellectual growth.
"The remarkable spread of knowledge in the United States is directly ascribable to
these public libraries, acting in conjunction with the public schools. The wonder of Europe
is the amazing progress of the United States, accomplished by enterprise, inventive genius
and intellectual superiority. And yet these are but the product of our schools and libraries,
sending forth inventors, poets, authors, statesmen, jurists and divines.
"A boy of humble parentage comes out of our public schools, he applies himself assidu-
ously to master the books free at hand, and lo ! a Lincoln, a Blaine, a Beecher, a Morse, or
an Edison lives to elevate and glorify the race.
"Or perhaps a boy after leaving the public school goes to work at a bench, in a factory,
or upon a farm, or enters upon a business career; with a library at hand and wise use of
his time he grows in knowledge, his wisdom sheds its light upon his fellowmen, and his
fraternal spirit warms all with whom he comes in contact. Honest, faithful and true to all
the duties of life, he may remain a quiet, unobtrusive citizen, content to fill a humble sphere
in life. But 'tis such as these make up American citizenship. 'Tis such as these that form
the anchor and stay of American institutions.
"John Sherman wrote to a young friend: 'Learn to love your books, for there is pleasure,
friendship and instruction in books.'
"The public library instills a love for books by creating a taste for reading, and a taste
for reading is a taste of Paradise. Happy indeed is he who can say from his heart:
"My books are friends, whose cheerful greeting
Delight my heart with each new meeting;
With them I take the greatest pleasure;
Enjoy their wit in fullest measure.
Whene'er I feel the need, or yearning,
For knowledge, wisdom, counsel, learning,
I steal away to quiet nooks
To interview my faithful books." *
"Every citizen — even the humblest — can enter the public library with a sense of owner-
ship, for it is maintained by his own contribution with that of others. He feels that he is at
home and entitled to share the privileges which surround him. The people of a community
animated by such a spirit soon become a reading community, and a reading community soon
becomes an educated community.
"In 1890 some of the prominent ladies of Van Wert, realizing the great good to be
derived from a library free to all who would aid in the enterprise, incorporated The Van
Wert Library Association. Without books or money, except such as they could hope to
secure from donations, the prospect of success was anything but flattering. But nothing
daunted, the ladies entered vigorously upon the work. They canvassed the town for sub-
scriptions and gave entertainments in aid of the project until a nucleus of a circulating
library was formed. Any person who contributed §3.00 each year was permitted to share in
the use of the library. So heartily were they encouraged in the work, and so enthusiastic
and persevering were they in their efforts, that at the end of the first year they had a collec-
tion of 600 books, placed in charge of a lady librarian in a general reading room rented by
the association for library purposes. The annual dues paid by the patrons of the library
were only sufficient to pay the running expenses, leaving but scant means to add new books.
Notwithstanding many and varied discouragements, the ladies persevered in their good work
until the library became so generally appreciated that in 1896 the Common Council of Van
Wert voted a tax of three-tenths of a mill in aid of the Library; realizing about $575 annually
for that purpose. This served to pay running expenses, and, together with the money realized
from the dues of patrons, furnished a small income upon which the library could be main-
tained.
"The field for the work was, however, so much larger than the means wherewith to
accomplish it, and the future was so dependent upon constant and unremitting effort, that
'Original with the speaker.
308
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
the ladies, although justly proud of what had been accomplished, might well feel apprehen-
sive for the future when their personal efforts should cease. A like library established some
years before had finally gone into bankruptcy, and it was only too apparent that this also
might fail if not placed upon a firm and enduring foundation.
"It was at this stage that the will of John Sanford Brumback was made public, pro-
viding for the gift to the people of "Van Wert County of a splendid building in which to
forever maintain a free public library, by the following clause in the will:
" 'It is my will and desire that my said dear wife and children expend sufficient
of my estate willed to them in items one and two to carry out my wishes known to
them by the erection and gift of a library building, somewhat after the plans and
designs I have prepared for that purpose; Provided and this item is upon the express
condition that my said wife and children can make arrangements satisfactory to them
with the City of Van Wert, or if they desire and think best, with Van Wert County,
for a location for said building and the maintenance of the library to be placed
therein.'
"Before going to what has been accomplished under this provision, let us take a cursory
view of the life of the man who made possible the firm establishment of a public library in
Van Wert County to bless present and future generations.
"John Sanford Brumback was born on a farm in Licking County, Ohio, on the 4th day
of March, 1829. His father descended from an old Virginia family of German extraction,
the progenitor of which had emigrated to America in early Colonial days. His mother's
name was Frutilda Bearnes, her parents having emigrated to Ohio from Pennsylvania at an
early day. From- her he inherited many of his sterling qualities of mind and heart.
"When he was four years old his father died, leaving his mother a legacy of six young
children and forty acres of undeveloped land, having a log house upon it. With nothing to
rear and educate her four girls and two boys except what could be produced from the soil
of this wild land, his mother, like others of that day, no whit discouraged, set bravely to work
to eke out a precarious livelihood. In a few years she was called upon to mourn her eldest
son. No other course remained but for herself and four daughters to make their own living,
aided only by John's efforts. Unable to spare her only boy from his work except in the
winter season, John's early education consisted of the crude instruction received in a country
school during the few winters he was privileged to attend school at all. He was quick to
learn and acquired even in this short time the rudiments of an education that added to and
rounded out by a lifetime of close observation and keen perception made him a man of
general information and broad intelligence.
"Had J. S. Brumback received a liberal education, such as most boys receive now days,
there is no station in life his natural ability, industrious habits and moral worth would not
have eminently fitted him to fill.
"As illustrative of his self-reliance and capability, even in early life, I often have heard
his mother tell how she entrusted him at the age of ten years to drive to market the farm
produce the family had to sell, which he disposed of with rare judgment for one of his years.
He was as good a horse trader at fifteen as David Harum himself. His mother used to
say she never knew what horse John would bring home. It was sufficient for her that he
rarely, if ever, got the worst of a bargain. He laughingly told me that he never got beaten
in a horse trade but once, and that was when he traded a horse for a cow — and the cow died.
"The commercial instinct thus early aroused, he left the farm and entered the grocery
business at the early age of seventeen. The only capital he had was $50 his mother had
saved up, which she willingly entrusted to him. On this he went to Cincinnati, and so won
the confidence of wholesale dealers by his frank and manly bearing that they trusted him to
enough goods to open up a small country store. It is needless to say that from this small
beginning his after success and fortune was attained. Attained by honorable, upright dealing.
It was never said of J. S. Brumback that he was otherwise than perfectly fair, honest and
just in every business transaction.
"No man ever acquired wealth and position in a community without arousing the jealousy
of some less fortunate. And yet, although J. S. Brumback did business in Van Wert for
over 35 years, first in the dry goods business and then as a banker, never was he accused of
making a dollar dishonestly. He was shrewd, far-seeing, and expected every man to fulfill
his contracts, but unjust or oppressive— never.
"His heart was as tender as a child's; his sympathy went out to the needy and distressed.
And many in Van Wert County will bear me witness that when J. S. Brumback had it In his
power to profit greatly by their misfortunes, he did not do so, but instead helped them out
of trouble at no small cost of time and effort to himself.
THE BRUMBACK LIBRARY
309
"His judgment was so wise and perception so unerring that his opinion was constantly-
Bought by people in all walks of life. No one appealed to him in vain for assistance in a
righteous cause; whether it was alms to the poor, aid to his relations, encouragement to the
down-hearted, succor to the unfortunate, or a donation for the public good, he always gave
freely when merit demanded. In short, in the words of Shakespeare:
"'His life was gentle; and the elements
So mixed in him, that nature might stand up
And say to all the world — this is a man.'
"Such a man, with such a heart full of philanthropy, could not die without remember-
ing his fellowmen, if it could be accomplished in justice to his own family, toward whom he
recognized his first duty. So when he came to draw his will, he did not conceal what he had
in mind and secretly consult a lawyer, but openly, as he had lived, he called his family around
him and freely expressed his thoughts. He said he had long felt like doing something for
Van Wert, and that he knew of no way in which so much good could come to his old friends
and associates and their children as through a public library. He said:
" 'I would like to firmly establish for them such an institution, if you are all willing.
If any of you feel I ought not to do so, I will dismiss it from my thoughts.'
"It is sufficient to say that in the discussion which followed the vote was unanimous.
But even then, when I was drawing his will, he said:
" 'I want you to draw it so as to make it entirely optional. If hereafter any of my
heirs should not be satisfied to carry out my wish, I want it so that it will not be obligatory.'
"And so the will was drawn; and under it the magnificent steel and stone fireproof
building has been constructed for the Brumback Library, on the condition made by the heirs
that it be forever maintained by Van Wert County under that name, in honor of the donor.
"The unanimity with which the heirs have carried out the wish expressed in the will
bears testimony to the affection and veneration felt for the husband and father. What a
glorious life to live, and be thus remembered! Had J. S. Brumback spent his life in a
sordid pursuit of wealth, he could have accumulated a much larger fortune. Instead, he
wisely chose to make good use of his money as he went along. Liberal, but modest in his
mode of life, he educated his children and aided them to become established in life, and
when he passed away they could not but feel that they in turn owed him a debt of gratitude
that never could be repaid.
"'Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul; and the heart of man
knoweth none more fragrant.'
"One thing to be especially noted in the will is the provision for a County Library. The
suggestion was a noble conception, full of great possibilities. Up to the date of this will, no
thought apparently was ever directed to the establishment of a county library.
"The population of our cities and towns are less in need of the advantages of a free
public library than the rural communities, since books in the centres of population are
readily accessible and pass from hand to hand by loan and exchange. Not so in the country,
where people are widely separated and books are not so plentiful on the family shelves.
"There is a great yearning among the youth of the country districts for more of the
opportunities and pleasures that go to make up life in the twentieth century, causing a great
drift to the cities and towns, to the detriment doubtless of the national welfare. If the
farms are to be kept populated, rural life must be made attractive, and opportunity there
afforded to enjoy the pleasures of literature and enter the world of knowledge.
The statistics of our insane asylums show a remarkably large percentage of patients
from the rural districts. This has been ascribed to the monotony of life on the farm,
without mental vicissitude and relaxation. There can be little doubt that with good books
circulating through the country districts affording mental recreation, there will be fewer
inmates of asylums from the farm.
"When it was first proposed to make the Brumback Library a county institution, many
looked askance and could hardly believe it practicable. Some of the residents in different
parts of the county have thought such a library could be of but little or no advantage to
them. They little realized how books are now being circulated in our great cities many
miles from the central library; and there is no reason why they cannot be had almost as
freely in distant parts of the county as in the county seat itself. The only need is the books
themselves, and they will surely be acquired in a few years in sufficient number to supply the
whole county. Under a sub-station or branch library system, books are delivered in any
number at stations in distant localities, there to be called for and returned when read.
310

Ready means for their transfer is afforded in this day of constant communication and rapid
transit facilities.
"Of course, the inauguration of a County Library was not accomplished without much
effort and many discouragements. When I drew a bill to be presented to the Ohio Legisla-
ture, to permit the County Commissioners to bind the County to maintain a library by taxa-
tion, I believed its passage could only be secured by the most strenuous efforts. When, how-
ever, the farmers of Van Wert County assembled in their Granges, and after full discussion
declared almost unanimously in favor of such a library, I knew their voice must be heeded
and their intelligence receive the reward of success. By the assistance of leading citizens,
both in town and county, the bill became a law, and later the County Commissioners took
the necessary action under the law to execute a tripartite agreement with the Ladies' Library
Association and the heirs of J. S. Brumback.
"By the terms of that contract the Ladies' Library Association turned over to the
Brumback Library all the books — some 1,600 in number — belonging to the Association; the
County agreed to forever maintain the library by the levy of an annual tax upon all the
taxable property of the county; and the Brumback heirs agreed to construct, and furnish
complete and ready for use, a stone building in one of the parks of the City of Van Wert,
the county seat of the county, wherein the library might have a home, and its influence be
extended in ever-widening circles.
"How well the heirs have much more than fulfilled the terms of the contract let the
splendid building and furnishings — substantial, commodious and beautiful in every detail —
speak. It is sufficient to say that no expense has been spared to make it the best. From
the solid stone walls three feet thick to the steel truss tile-covered roofs, stability and grace
have been sought. Upon entering the arched portal and obtaining a view of the commodious
rooms, lofty arched ceilings, Mosaic floors, marble mantel and wainscoting, polished oak
woodwork and furniture, with space for 40,000 books and more — it certainly must be said
that Van Wert County is indeed fortunate in having had J. S. Brumback live within its
borders.
"Believing the ladies would exercise a most beneficent influence in the management and
work of the Brumback Library, and to keep it out of political broils as much as possible, the
tripartite agreement provides that the library shall be managed by a non-partisan board of
seven trustees; three to be appointed by the County Commissioners, two by the Ladies'
Library Association, and two by the Brumback heirs. Their term of office is for three years,
and in case any appointment is not made by the parties designated, the City Council of Van
Wert is to make the appointment.
"It will thus be seen that the governing board of the library is selected by various inter-
ests, and the best qualified persons for such a work will, in all probability, be secured.
"The income of the library under the tax levy now produces nearly $5,000 per annum.
Twice this sum could well be utilized. Under the new decennial valuation of property, this
amount will be substantially increased. Only lack of means will prevent the library from at
once entering upon its full usefulness. To fill the demands of the whole county under the
sub-station or branch library system a large library is necessary, and the fear is that in
the beginning the supply will not be equal to the demand. If the people, however, will be
tolerant, a few years ought to suffice to accumulate an extensive and valuable collection of
books, embracing all departments of literature.
"When the people once realize how much good is to be had from the few cents collected
from each for the library, it is believed a strong sentiment will grow up to increase the
levy until a sum can be had adequate to meet all demands. It is certainly better that people
should tax themselves for libraries and schools, rather than for almshouses, jails and other
asylums of misery.
"As the first to inaugurate a County Library, Van Wert County owes it to herself and the
world to see that it is made a complete success. I doubt not that with such an example
other counties in Ohio will soon take up the work, and the system extend to other States,
until the results accomplished will be tremendous.
"The prominence Van Wert County will receive as the pioneer in such a work cannot but
be a proud distinction, and of the greatest benefit to all her people. Since the law was
enacted for the benefit of the Brumback Library of Van Wert County, Cincinnati has
already taken up the cue, and procured the enactment of a law extending the field of her
library work to all of Hamilton County. Toledo and other localities are considering the
same action.
"The demands of the time are for greater literary advantages and fuller opportunities
to learn all the wonders of science and the achievements of the past.

"Give the people full opportunity for mental culture and free access to the world of
books, they will not be slow to wander with Proctor into the realms of space, to learn the
wondrous stories of suns that glow, and systems that circle there; or go with La Place to
other worlds to hear how ages since the rock-ribbed hills and ancient sea were but a fiery
cloud, a morning mist of creation. They will quickly understand how Cuvier finds a bone and
builds the mammoth to which it belongs, and reads the hoary rocks which tell of primeval
seas and towering forests. With Carlyle they will pass through the terrible scenes of the
French Revolution; and from John Stuart Mill soon learn the true relation of economy and
thrift to supply and demand. Who can doubt that wisdom, good judgment and wise action
must result from such instruction?
"Prosperity and success have ever attended upon intelligence. And so it is that the
elevation and advancement of the whole race to the higher planes of social development and
fraternal brotherhood is along the road of a wider dissemination of knowledge. Nor is the
field of human effort by any means exhausted. Indeed, it is scarcely curtailed. Vast fields
of learning yet unexplored, and heights of intellectual attainment beyond belief, await those
who attempt them.
"Great problems yet remain to be solved, the greatest indeed that have ever confronted
mankind. The true relation of capital and labor, the proper union of diversified interests,
the economical administration of public affairs; in short, all the great questions that will
arise as population increases and the human race strives to attain the greatest good to the
greatest number, must be determined, and determined rightly. In these great controversies,
destined to test the stability of human institutions, the wisdom drawn from the whole past
experience of man can alone lead the race aright.
"The people of the great Middle West have in the past been chiefly occupied in develop-
ing their material resources. The time is come when they are to devote more attention to
literary and scientific pursuits. That intellectual giants will be forthcoming cannot be
doubted, and they will be the product of just such institutions as the Brumback Library.
"The libraries of a community are the foster-mothers of intellectual prominence. Many
of the foremost statesmen, historians, poets and orators of America have been Massachusetts
men— the product of a State that boasts the great libraries of Cambridge and Boston, and
where nearly every village has a public library. Bancroft and Prescott, and Motley and
Parkman, and Fiske, as historians; Bryant and Longfellow, and Lowell and Holmes and
Emerson, and Whittier, as poets; Winthrop and Choate, and Everett and Sumner, and
Wendell Phillips, as orators, have brought imperishable fame to themselves and the Old Bay
State. Ohio has already taken rank as the mother of Presidents. Her sons are yet to attain
still higher pinnacles of success, and surprise the world with their versatile genius.
"In opening a library designed to aid in these great accomplishments, we are starting
upon its career an educational institution whose silent but wholesome influence will reach
through all the future. When we think of the character the Brumback Library will mould,
the pleasure it will give, and the knowledge it will spread, we cannot but realize this i9
indeed a momentous occasion. As said by Senator Hoar of Massachusetts:
" 'The opening of a library is an event of the highest importance in any community.
It is one of the institutions which tend to build up and adorn the local life. There is no
city so great and renowned that it does not wear its library as the chief jewel of its crown.
There is no town so humble that a good library will not raise it to distinction and honor.
However excellent may be their schools, however admirable the training that the children
get at home, the community where there is no good library is but half educated.'
"What considerate man can weigh the dollars it will cost to maintain this library against
the immortal minds it will train? One youth kept from a dissolute and vicious life by the
charms of literature supplied from its shelves will more than repay the expense of years.
God has implanted his Divine essence in the mind of man to be trained and educated for
good citizenship on earth and immortality hereafter. This library, engaged in broadening
and ennobling the mind of man, is kindling a flame 'Which will shine not merely when every
artificial beam is extinguished, but when the affrighted *un has fled away from the heavens.'
"To-day we enter upon a new century. To-day mankind all over the world is contem-
plating the past and standing tip-toe to peer into the future. Surpassing day, transcendent
day. All living millions will never see its like again.
"Upon this Natal day of the twentieth century, while loving congratulations are echoing
around the globe, on behalf of John Sanford Brumback, now gone beyond the stars, but
whose spirit hovers near; on behalf of his wife and children, who have striven as best
they knew to carry out the will of him they loved, I now here present to the Trustees of the
312
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
Brumback Library, acting on behalf of all the people, this building, wherein it hath been
covenanted to forever maintain a free public library.
"And may every man, woman and child in Van "Wert County reap the benefit to be
obtained by delving into the mysteries upon its shelves, and their descendants in turn
drink deep at the 'Pierian Spring.' "
Address of Acceptance by Judge Glenn.
The address of acceptance by Judge H. C. Glenn was as follows:
"Mr. President: — With uncovered head I make my most gracious bow to Mrs. Brumback
and her family. While I address them I also address the ladies and gentlemen present.
"I have never received a summons to duty which I obeyed with such supreme pleasure
as the present one, of accepting from this family, in the name of the Trustees of the Library
and in behalf of the citizens of Van Wert County, yonder well-proportioned and exquisitely
finished and furnished library building.
"This little library, or what used to be a little library, but which has grown to be one of
considerable proportion, has a warm place in my memory.
"I remember so well the time when and by whom was first conceived the plan by which
it was hoped to provide for the people of Van Wert a free public library. I also well
remember the dozen true and philanthropic women who organized themselves into a society
to materialize this conception and to promote this plan. The plan succeeded, but would not
have done so but for the liberality of the people of the city.
"I have always thought that the fate of the enterprise was determined, and success
became assured at our own home. An entertainment had been arranged by the ladies for the
benefit of the library fund. The same one just spoken of by Mr. Gordon. Everybody was
invited and nearly everybody came. The children came with their pennies and nickles and
dimes; the grown people came bringing their quarters, their halves and their dollars; but
the acme of success was reached when it was ascertained that Mrs. Marsh had sent her
check for a generous sum and that Mr. J. S. Brumback had brought his check for $50.
"It is also my good pleasure to know something of the history of this library building.
Aside from his own family, Mrs. Glenn and I were the first persons to whom Mr. Brumback
communicated his purpose of erecting a library building, and of donating the same to the
public. It was not his original idea to make this a post-mortem gift. When we talked with
him he had a hope that he might so far recover his health as to be physically able to erect
the building himself and with his own hand turn it over to the public. This idea had
progressed so far that he had plans prepared by an architect, which I understand to be the
same plans, in the main, after which the building has been constructed — changed and added
to only so far as modern architects' experience and good taste, convenience and utility sug-
gested. His hope of recovery was only a hope. He informed us that he had talked the
matter over with his family, who heartily acquiesced, so that whether he recovered or not
the library was a fixed fact, unless conditions should exist rendering the same impracticable.
"My friend, Mr. Brumback, in his presentation address, referred to one matter which
I wish to emphasize as a matter of justice to the living. It is this: This building has not
been erected in pursuance of any mandatory provisions of Mr. Brumback's will. There is no
such provision in his will. Every reference to the library is in form of a request or wish on
the testator's part. I am satisfied, however, that there would have been such mandatory
provision had he not been entirely satisfied that the same were unnecessary. Any objections,
or rather failure to concur on the part of Mrs. Brumback, his direct legatee, or of any one
of his sons or daughters, his ultimate legatees, would have defeated the enterprise.
"This does not detract from Mr. Brumback's generosity or our obligations of gratitude
to him, but extends the circle of our beneficiaries and creates new objects of gratitude. This
is both refreshing and commendable, in an age when the chief end of heirs and legatees
often seems to be, to have and to hold the ancestral estate, and often results in strife among
themselves as to which shall obtain the lion's share. In this family the only strife seems to
have been, if there was any, as to which should be the most liberal and liberal in carrying
out the ancestral wish.
"Having said this much, there remains but little more for me to say or do than to pro-
claim, in the presence of this vast audience, in behalf of the Trustees of this library, and in
behalf of the citizens of the county, whose servants they are, that yonder great storehouse of
knowledge is accepted for the uses and purposes for which it has been presented. And
knowing the trustees as I do, and knowing the sentiment and temper of the people, and full
of confidence in the future, I do feel perfectly safe in promising that the same shall never
be perverted from the use intended. Being so massive and substantially built, I do not see
THE BKUMBACK LIBRARY
313
why the end of the century, the threshhold of which we are just passing, should not see this
building still standing and the stream of knowledge, education and morality then, as now,
flowing from it in all directions, lighting up the dark places of this community as the great
luminary of the day shall then, as now, send out its rays in every direction, illuminating the
dark corners of the Universe of God.
"Again allow me to say that the benefits flowing from this magnificent library building
and its contents will not be confined to the present age nor will gratitude cease with the
present generation. After the last survivor of this vast audience shall have been gathered
to the fathers, hundreds and thousands of grateful men, women and children, deciphering the
inscription engraved with mallet and chisel over yon grand entrance will roll the name
'Brumback' as a sweet sound under their tongues, and on their lips sweet gratitude will
lovingly and lastingly linger."
The following is a summary of the acquisition, and a full description, of
the Library, as printed in the Van Wert Republican December 27, 1900 :
THE BRUMBACK LIBRARY.
Description of the New Building.
ITS FINE ARCHITECTURE.
No pen can describe the many words of gratitude heard expressed on every hand by
the citizens of Van Wert, and the county in general, since they heard the good news of the
provisions made in the will of the late John Sanford Brumback, former president of the
Van Wert National Bank, and long ere the building was completed many of the people of
this State, as well as other States, also rejoice with us in our good fortune, as will be seen
by extracts taken from State papers pertaining to the gift.
When the seal of the envelope containing the last will and testament of the late John
Sanford Brumback was broken, Peabody's sentence, "Education— a debt due from the present
to future generations," proved to be the main theme, and by reason thereof our town and
county received on the dawn of the twentieth century a handsome gift to build and furnish
which has cost the Brumback estate nearly $50,000.
Well may Van Wert feel proud of the day John Sanford Brumback sought a home in
her midst, and particularly so as he has provided that his great aim in life — of working
ror the higher interest of Van Wert County people and mankind in general— should continue
through his directions and provisions after he had crossed the silent river of death.
Mr. Brumback took great interest in the little city library, established a few years ago
through the efforts of a few noble women. He also did much toward making the city's
handsome little parks what they now are. The fine grove of trees in Second Ward Park
were planted by him, so it is no wonder he selected this beautiful spot as the site on which
should stand one of the most lasting monuments that a Van Werter could possibly erect.
It has also been very gratifying to our people to see his children, viz.: Mrs. J. P. Reed,
Jr., Mrs. E. L Antrim, D. L. Brumback, president of the Van Wert National Bank, and
Hon. O. S. Brumback, now a prominent attorney in Toledo, all working so faithfully and
unitedly carrying out the desires of their noble father, devoting much time to see that the
building should be a perfect one in every particular and worthy of the memory of one who
truly loved his fellowmen. Such zeal and devotion merits the highest praise; by their deeds
they have not only proven themselves truly heirs of a noble man, but also have erected for
themselves a monument, which time cannot efface. With them we can right here very
properly speak of Mr. John P. 'Reed, who has had the supervision of nearly everything in
connection with the building. He has worked early and late, and it is due in a measure to
his ability and unceasing efforts that next Tuesday" Van Wert County will be presented with
one of the most handsome and most perfect structures ever erected in Ohio.
Space will not permit us to mention the many difficulties and discouragements the heirs
had to contend with while endeavoring to carry out the wishes of their father. First, there
was no authority on the statute book authorizing the Board of Commissioners to accept of the
gift, great as it was. This difficulty, however, was soon removed ; through the efforts and
solicitations of the heirs, a general law was passed authorizing County Commissioners to
receive on behalf of the public such a bequest and to make suitable provisions for keeping
it up. Thus it will be seen that the Brumback heirs have opened the way to have a county
library building in every county in the State of Ohio.

BRTJMBACH FAMILIES
The plans for the building were made by David L. Stine, Toledo's popular architect.
It is a handsome structure as well as a durable one, view it from any point you will, and is
strictly fireproof. The cornerstone of the building was laid with appropriate ceremonies in the
summer of 1899, under the auspices of the Masonic Order, Grand Master Williams of Ohio
being master of ceremonies.
The entire material used in the building and the work of constructing same are the very
best that money and skill can produce. The grounds surrounding the building have been
terraced, the finished grade stands about eighteen inches above the level of Main street, and
the floor of the library four feet higher. Upward of 10,000 wagon loads of dirt were used
in the construction of terrace and grade. The exterior walls are of blue Bedford stone,
rock faced. We cannot enter into details as to the perfect system of drainage made sur-
rounding the building prior to the construction of the foundation. All footings for founda-
tion walls and pieces are of concrete laid in courses of eight inches each, and each course
was allowed to stand two days before subsequent course was laid. The boundary walls of
the foundation from top of concrete footings to level are constructed in first-class rubble
work and stones used are of uniform size (18 x 24 inches) and from six to eight inches thick.
On the top course of rubble walls have been placed large cut stones of even thickness.
Upward from these large foundation stones have been laid Bedford rock-faced stones laid
in alternate courses of stones four and ten inches thick. The base or "plinth" course around
the entire building is hammer dressed, the basement windows and sills being of the same
dressed material. The exterior in general is rock faced with small margin draught cut on all
outer vertical corners. All stones rest on natural bed, the larger courses in base projecting
beyond the building line about four inches. The size of the entire building is 60 x 70 feet,
with an elevation of two stories.
All the beams, channels, angles, T's and plates throughout the building are of American
manufactured steel uniform in quality, and in the entire construction of the building upward
of seventy-five tons of steel were used, all of which was subjected to a severe test, the
beams being subjected to a tensile strength of from 60,000 to 68,000 pounds per square inch.
In the construction of the roof the greatest care was taken, the roof sections, the valley
rafters and trusses being of steel with two-inch purloins for fastening wood as sheathing,
the same being notched pine planks, not over six-inch face running up and down roof, on
which are securely fastened the terra cotta or Spanish tiles. These tiles are of the very
best material made, three-fourths of an inch thick, and the total weight of tile on roof is
upward of 50,000 pounds.
By referring to the picture it will be seen that the building has two towers, the western
tower being square, rising to a height of nearly forty feet from grade; the east tower is
round, and larger in every way, its extreme height being forty-five feet; this gives the struc-
ture an imposing appearance, like that of a castle. The building stands in the center of the
park, and the main entrance is about 127 feet from the north curb line of Main street.
Without further description of the exterior, reader, follow us in, and we will endeavor to
give you a pen picture of the interior. We approach the main entrance of the building over
a fine cement walk, nine feet wide. As we near the building we are much impressed with the
elaborately carved portico.
We ascend the eight steps in the entrance platform which brings us immediately under
the carved portico. The stone in the rough was put in place for the carver and the mouldings
and capital carved. The work is fine, and the longer you look at the carvings in the portico,
the more you become impressed with the fact that a master hand handled the chisel. Notice
the five columns on each side. The height of entrance is twelve feet. We enter very
handsomely carved heavy oak-panelled doors, and are now in the vestibule, which is 12 x 6y2
feet. We first notice the handsome floor beneath our feet. The vestibule has a very attractive
marble tile floor of a Grecian design. In the center there is a geometrical figure and the
"Lamp of Knowledge," with Grecian torches and wreath. Even the vestibule is inlaid in
French and Italian marble wainscoted in white Italian marble eight feet high. Just over the
inner doors we notice in white plaster cast an open book, surrounded by a wreath.
In the center hangs a very handsome hall lantern, of a green tint, made especially for
the building. The ceiling is painted pink and tinted into a cream in the center. We now
pass through the two inner vestibule doors which are also of richly carved oak with plate
glass the full length. Now we are within the library proper.
To say it is magnificent does not express it; words are inadequate to do the building
justice, and it is indeed hard to know just where to begin to describe the array of costly
things. The reading room is 61 x 23^. The floor is marble of a Mosaic design, with a
large geometrical figure in the center, and the entire reading room is laid with tile in small

pieces not quite half an inch square — there is estimated to be in the entire flooring over
400,000 pieces. The foundation of the floor, which is fireproof hollow tile and concrete, rests
on steel beams. It took seven expert Italians from Chicago four weeks' time to lay the tile.
The vaulted ceiling, which is twenty-five feet high, has ninety rosettes of unique design,
also very attractive borders and mouldings and nearly two hundred plaster panels cast singly
in staff, placed in position and wired to angle fasteners, the whole cemented together with
plaster Paris. The fine arches have ninety handsome rosettes; from the center of each pro-
trudes an electric bulb, and when they are all lighted they present a handsome sight. They
look like so many diamonds, and the light shows the ornamentations in a manner that is
fascinating.
Below a heavy moulding on the sidewalls are fifty-eight lights, each of eight candlepower.
The reading room, as well as the reference room, is wainscoted three and one-half feet high,
with white Italian or Cararra marble. Between the reading room and the stack room arc
two imposing columns, 36 inches in circumference, finished in Florentine onyx. Next we
would call your attention to the delivery counter, on each side of which are two very hand-
some settees, each five feet long, the seats, backs and ends being upholstered in a rich green
corduroy. At the extreme ends of the settees are two doors or gates, through which access
is gained to the stack room; these are handsomely carved out of solid oak, the wreath pat-
tern on center panel being found wherever there is wreath ornamentation on the various
things in the building, including floors, furniture, etc. The lighting fixtures throughout the
building are made of a special design of heavy cast brass, and are combination fixtures for
both electric lights and gas. We step in the direction of the northeast corner of the reading
room and find hanging on the wall a large, rich oil painting of the noble donor of the edifice,
Hon. John Sanford Brumback. If we could but take a glimpse into the veiled and mysterious
future, at times, even for centuries yet to come, we would see many a young man standing
almost on the same spot as we now stand and here we could see them not only admiring
the kind and noble features of Mr. Brumback, but also wishing that they could express their
gratification to him or his heirs for providing so generously not only for their comforts, but
even their children's children. Thousands yet to be will rise up within the bounds of Van
Wert County and call him "blessed," as the gift will increase in value as time rolls on.
Near us we now notice a card catalogue case, which is in the extreme northeast corner
of the reading room; it has a capacity for 72,000 cards.
Next we would call attention to the handsome marble mantle and fireplace. Notice the
large marble shelf and the columns on either side. It stands seven and one-half feet high.
The fireplace is faced with red French marble. The grate and trimmings are of brass. In
the fireplace are imitation logs, which will be heated with gas so as to have the appearance
of burning timber. Notice the unique solid brass trimmings and the old-fashioned andirons.
In the panel just below the marble mantel shelf is a solid bronze tablet with the following
1829. IN MEMORY OF 1897.
JOHN SANFORD BRUMBACK,
Who Bequeathed to the People
of Van Wert County
this Building
In which to forever maintain
a free Public Library.
The reading room is furnished with four large solid oak tables, similar in design to
those used in the Chicago Library, the ends being panelled. The chairs are also solid oak,
with convenient arms so that one sitting close to a table can raise up and get out of his seat
without moving his chair. A fine rack for newspapers and a solid oak periodical rack are
also a part of the furniture in the reading room, and all movable furniture has rubber tips,
so as to prevent making noise when moving same on the floor.
In the west tower is a reference room. The floor of this room is also laid in marble
Mosaic tile. In the center as we enter we notice a solid oak table and chairs of the same
design as those in the reading room; in front of us is an oak bookcase containing refer-
ence books.
In the eastern tower is a room designed for the children. This has Georgia pine floor,
being almost round, having a radius of 19^ feet. This room is furnished similar to the
316
BRTJMBACH FAMILIES
other rooms mentioned excepting that it has a round table. In time this will be filled with
books expressly for the children. In the second story of this tower is the Trustees' room,
which is also neatly furnished. We reach the Trustees' room by flights of steel winding
stairs. From here one can have a splendid view of Fountain Park and the Central School
campus.
Before we enter the stack room let us again take another look at the handsome ceiling,
which is of pure white, as well as the moulded frieze and panels. The sidewall to the ceiling
moulding is of cream, the colors and scroll work blending admirably.
The stack room is 27^4 x 33 feet. The floor is of Georgia pine, laid on fireproof con-
crete, edged grain strips being three inches wide, perfectly matched and hand smoothed.
The floor was coated twice with filler and finished with Johnson's wax in mahogany color.
The room is tinted in green and shaded to a cream ceiling. Here also the colors blend per-
fectly. There are six stacks, twelve feet long, two feet thick and seven and one-fourth feet
high, made of enameled steel, with adjustable shelves, the whole being olive green color with
brass trimmings. There is space in the stack room for additional stacks, but the six now
in will be sufficient for some time to come. Over the stack room is another room designed
to be used when the present stack room becomes too limited for the library.
On trie east side of the stack room is a Librarian's room, with a suitable desk. Here
also we found a fine switchboard with twenty-four switches to operate the many electric
lights in the various parts of the building.
On the west side of the stack room is a marble stairway leading to the side door and
the basement. On our right as we descend the stairs is a toilet room, fitted up with the very
best in that line, this floor as well as the hallway also being laid in marble Mosaic tile.
Space will not permit us to enter into minute description of the basement, which has ce-
mented floors and is partitioned with fireproof hollow tile into suitable rooms for storage, etc.
"THE PIONEER COUNTY LIBRARY."
The prominence attained by the Brumback Library as "The Pioneer County Library" is
well shown in a Washington Communication printed in the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
(daily) under date of January 20, 1912, as follows:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. — Ohio has the ideal public county library system of the United
States, according to an announcement of the United States bureau of education.
The announcement, which gives an interesting description of the Ohio plan, says:
"Every inhabitant of the United States, no matter how far from the centers of popula-
tion, will have practically as good library facilities as are now enjoyed by the average city
dweller if plans for the establishment of a new type of book-distributing agency work out
according to the anticipation of the United States commissioner of education, Dr. P. P.
Claxton, who is personally interested in their development. As the rural population of the
United States numbers about 55 per cent, of the total population, the new library plan may
have the effect of doubling the effectiveness of libraries and of raising the standard of cul-
ture in this country to a corresponding degree.
"The county library plan has already been put into successful operation in Van Wert
county, O., where a main depository and fifteen branches are maintained at an expenditure
of between $6,000 and $7,000 a year, this sum being raised by levying a half-mill county tax.
The same appropriation also covered the cost last year of placing eighty-nine additional
branch libraries in the public schools. Fourteen counties in Wisconsin are now enjoying
similar facilities.
"Dr. Claxton went on to say that his advocacy of the county library was based on his
personal observation of the Brumback library of Van Wert county, O., which is at present
one of the few institutions of this kind in the country. * * *
"The heirs of the late John Sanford Brumback spent $50,000 on the building. With the
money realized from a county tax levy, some 3,000 books were purchased in 1899; and
these," together with 1,600 others turned over by the merger of an existing library, formed
the nucleus of the present collection.
"The library building erected by the Brumback estate was turned orer to the county
in 1901. It is a beautiful structure in the Gothic-Romanesque style of architecture, built of
Bedford blue sandstone, with a tile and marble interior; fireproofed throughout. The book
stacks have a capacity of 25,000 volumes. With the handsome park in which it is located the
Brumback library has become one of the show places of Van Wert.
"This is the central depository for the county's system of branch libraries and school
libraries. The branches are in charge of librarians who are paid $50 a year and are made
responsible for the safe keeping of the books sent them. Rural merchants and postmasters
THE BRUMBACK LIBRARY
317
are generally selected to conduct the branch libraries, as their establishments are most cen-
trally located and most frequently visited.
"BOOKS FOR LOCAL READERS.
"The collections of books in their charge range from 100 to 150, although if this is not
a sufficient number, additional volumes will be sent on request. Four times a year, or
oftener, the branch librarian boxes up the books for which he is responsible and returns
them to the central depository, receiving at once another collection.
"The books thus forwarded are not the arbitrary hit-or-miss selection of the head libra-
rian but conform to the desires of the local readers, as ascertained at the branch itself. Be-
fore any books are sent out the branch librarian receives a list of the titles in every available
traveling collection. Each title is accompanied with a note explaining the character and
contents of the books listed.
The users of the branch library then discuss these lists, and the box of books which con-
tains the greatest number of works that interests the greatest number of readers is the box
called for. If the contents of no one box prove interesting to the neighborhood the mam
library will make up a special selection upon request. In this way the rural book lover can
obtain practically any work he desires for which there is an appreciable call.
"The kind of books read by the country people of Van Wert county are of an unusually
high character. One representative box contains 100 works, dealing with such yaried sub-
jects as philosophy, religion, sociology, language, science, the useful and fine arts, literature,
travel, biography, history and fiction. Books for young people comprise about one-fourth
the entire list. * * *
"A most valuable feature of the Brumback library's work is the establishment of loan
collections for use in schools. These school libraries will be sent to any teacher who asks
for them, the selection being made by the teacher or by the librarian, as the borrower pre-
fers. Although this school library department is only about four years old, it has grown
so rapidly that to-day all but about 40 of the 125 country school teachers in Van Wert
county make use of its facilities.
"INSTRUCTIVE BOOKS POPULAR. «.
"The selections which teachers may draw out for school use are as large as desired. Usu-
ally as many books are taken as there are children in the rooms. These school sets are ex-
changed sometimes twice a month, but usually once a term, the interval being fixed by the
teacher.
"In this way books dealing with history, geograpny and biography hare been made popu-
lar subjects of reading among the school children of Van Wert county. Nature studies and
easy scientific books are also in demand, while fairy tales, myths and legends provide the
children with an enjoyable introduction to literature.
"Occasionally members of school boards object to the introduction of library sets into
the schools, on the ground that the children should give all their time to textbooks and the
study of the three R's. However, it is the experience of a number of teachers that this sup-
plementary reading has resulted in better schoolroom discipline and an increased interest in
such subjects as geography and United States history.
"The work of the school library department of the Brumback library is now broadening
in an unexpected direction, for the parents of school children are coming more and more to
borrow from these loan collections, as well as from the formally constituted branch libraries.
Thus Van Wert county provides that the whole world of books is brought to the very
doorsteps of the remotest farmstead in its borders by a clearing house system of libraries
which Commissioner Claxton wishes to see in equally successful operation throughout the
United States."
Ellen Perlena (Purmort) Brumback is a member of the M. E. Ch. and lives
at Van Wert, O., now in her 80th year. She preserves much of the beauty that
distinguished her in younger years, and has a clear recollection of her eventful
life.

and taken prisoner, but was soon paroled and exchanged in the spring of 1863,
when he engaged again actively in military service. He took part in both
captures of Jackson, Miss., in 1863, and his regiment was among the forces
that besieged Vicksburg, which was captured July 4, 1863. Much of the year
1864 the regiment had headquarters at Memphis, Tenn., and was engaged in
the battles of Guntown and Tupelo. Afterward the regiment constituted part
of an infantry force, which, under the command of Gen. A. J . Smith, pursued
Gen. Price and his army through Ark. and Mo. during their raid north in 1864.
The infantry forces to which Col. Brumback's regiment was attached then went
to Nashville, Tenn., where the regiment was engaged in the two days' battle in
Dec, 1864, which resulted in the defeat of Gen. Hood's army. The Confed-
erate army under Gen. Hood having been badly disorganized after the defeat
and having left that section, the 95th O., with other troops, went to Mobile,
Ala. There the regiment aided in capturing the forts above the city in the
early part of 1865, while Grant and Sherman were delivering the final blows
against the armies of Lee and Johnston. When Lee and Johnston surrendered,
the 95th 0. was in central Ala. and in due time was transported to Columbus,
0., where it was paid off and disbanded. Col. Brumback commanded the regi-
ment much of the time while it was in service, and he and his men endured many
of the hardships and trials incident to active warfare.
After quitting the army Col. Brumback resumed the practice of law at
Newark, 0. In 1866 he was elected judge of the court of common pleas for the
district, which included Licking Co. He filled the office until he resigned in
1869 to settle in Kansas City, Mo., where he practiced his profession until May,
1900, when he retired. He served the city one term as alderman and several
terms as city counselor. He was (a Repubn.) never active as a politician. He
preferred to be studious and painstaking in his profession, and to deserve re-
spect and confidence for good work as a lawyer .a
" As a lawyer he stands among the most eminent in the state and has been
interested in numerous cases requiring the utmost skill and ability." . . .
" His life has been an honorable and upright one, characterized by the faithful
performance of every duty of both public and private life."b
Judge Brumback spent considerable time traveling throughout Va.
gathering data for a history of his immediate family line ; and, after the inter-
change with the compiler of numerous letters and summaries of work, an in-
tended meeting in Washington, D. C, was prevented by his sudden death June
22, 1907. The compiler acknowledges his indebtedness for the excellent and care-
ful foundation work done by the late Judge Brumback, which has been incorpor-

[D235] HENRY5 BRUMBACK ([D30] John4, same male ancestry as

educated in the common school and in Denison Univ., from which he grad. in
1863 ; read law at Newark, O., and was admitted Dec, 1865, by the Supreme
Court of O. to practice law ; in the fall of 1866 he located at Mount Vernon,
Lawrence Co., Mo., and by thorough and exhaustive attention to the practice
of his profession, throughout more than 40 yrs. he was a leader in that section
of Mo. and was widely known as an able, energetic and faithful advocate.
While a Dem. he has never been a partisan, and has never sought political
preferment. He has always taken an active interest in the upbuilding of his
country, and in his active days was in the forefront of all tending to its pro-
gress. He was especially generous and helpful to worthy young men, and es-
pecially to those just starting in the practice of law. By frugality and indus-
try he acquired a competency, and retired from active practice of law about
1909 and is passing his well earned years of rest at his home in Mt. Vernon,
Mo. He there enjoys the esteem of his countrymen, merited through a long,
upright and honorable life in their midst.

Toledo, 0., and one of the leaders of the Ohio Bar ; was thoroughly educated
for his profession, his father sparing no expense to afford him the advantages
of the best educational institutions. Finishing his preparatory work in the
Van Wert schools when but sixteen years of age, he matriculated in the classical
course at Wooster University. At the end of his sophomore year Mr. Brum-
back entered the junior class in Princeton University. Throughout the two
years of his work in that institution he maintained the same high standard
of scholarship that had before characterized him, and won for himself such
recognition in the minds of students and faculty alike, that he was chosen one
of ten, out of a class of one hundred and thirty members, to deliver commence-
ment day orations. His graduation at Princeton was in the class of 1877, and
his selection to this honor in his class was the more marked by reason of his
being a western man in an eastern institution, where he had only two years
of collegiate work. The Princeton faculty granted him the degree of B.A., and
later conferred upon him the degree of M.A.
In the fall of 1877 he entered the College of Law of the University of
Michigan, and in June, 1879, was graduated with the degree of B.L. The
following winter he passed the examination necessary for admission to practice
at the Ohio Bar and located in Toledo. In 1880 he had so far progressed in
his profession that he felt the time was ripe to open an office of his own and
" hung out his shingle." Ever since he has made his profession the chief con-
cern of his life, and has been so successful that he is recognized as one of the
foremost lawyers in the Northwest, and is retained in cases of great importance,
especially in corporation litigation.

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
Mr. Brumback is a member of the First Congregational Church of Toledo,
and fraternally, socially and in a business way, is identified with the principal
local organizations of Toledo. While a student at Wooster he became a mem-
ber of the collegiate Greek letter fraternity, Sigma Chi, and having never lost
his interest in the order, has made it the means of keeping in touch with colleges
and college men. He has been honored with the office of Grand Consul in the
national body of the Sigma Chi, and at the present time is one of the Grand
Trustees of the fraternity.
In politics, Mr. Brumback has ever been a staunch Republican. In 1885
he became a candidate for Representative from Lucas County in the Ohio
Legislature. It was the year when John Sherman was being opposed by John
McLean of the Cincinnati Enquirer for the United States Senate, and the fight
for the legislature was strenuous throughout the state. For several years
Lucas county had been going Democratic so that it was expected its members
in the legislature would continue to be Democratic. Mr. Brumback entered
into the campaign with his characteristic energy, and when the election returns
were counted it was found that he had run far ahead of his ticket and was
elected, while the other Republican legislative candidates were defeated. His
election was vital as the Republicans had a majority of only one upon joint
ballot with which to elect Senator Sherman, and, if Mr. Brumback had not
been elected John McLean would have had one majority. Mr. Sherman's elec-
tion was of national importance, for it was during this term in the Senate for
which he was elected that he secured the passage of the celebrated Sherman
Anti-Trust Law. 1885 was also the year when the Cincinnati election frauds
were perpetrated. Mr. Brumback served on the legislative committee to inves-
tigate the frauds and thereby made a state reputation. He served two years
(1885-1886) in the legislature, declined a renomination, and has since many
times refused to run for public office, believing it unwise to subordinate his
profession to a political career.
Oct. 26, 1881, at Indianapolis, Ind., Mr. Brumback m Jennie King
Carey, b Oct. 15, 1860, in New York City; dau Simeon B. (b Dec. 22, 1820;
d Aug. 5, 1902) and Lydia {King) Carey (b Jan. 12, 1837, and living in In-
dianapolis, Ind.). Mr. Carey was a prominent wholesale merchant of New
York, and his ancestry appears in the " Carey Memorials.'"1 In 1873 Mr. and
Mrs. Carey moved to Indianapolis, Ind., where he became a prominent citizen
and conducted a wholesale hardware business until his d in 1902.
Mrs. Carey is a descendant of prominent New England families, her great
grandparents being Adjutant Aaron King, and Hannah Mosely, the daughter
of Col. John Mosely, who commanded the 3d Hampshire County regiment of
"Carey Memorials, Farrell & Co., Cincinnati, O., 1874, p. 215.

the Massachusetts Militia in the Revolution. Aaron King was Adjutant to
Col. Mosely and, as indicated, married his daughter Hannah. Col. Mosely
also commanded a company as Captain in the Crown Point Expedition. Mrs.
Brumback is actively interested in the Natl. Soc. D.A.R., and is a member of
" Ursula Wolcott " Chapter of Toledo.
Mr. Brumback's interest in the preparation and publication of this
volume has been continuous, substantial financially, and encouraging; and the
compiler expresses special appreciation for the same. Himself and wife occupy

[D264] DAVID LA DOYT6 BRUMBACK ([D95] John Sanford5, same
ancestry as [D263]) b in Casey, 111., July 30, 1861; soon after his birth his
parents moved to Van Wert, O., where, except for two years' residence in To-
ledo, he has since resided. He was carefully educated by his father, who thor-
oughly believed in higher education, and the success in life 'attained by all his
children has demonstrated the wisdom of those views. David6 went from the
Van Wert High School to Wooster University which he attended for three
years, and then took a business course in Eastman's Business College, Pough-
keepsie, N. Y.
After leaving college Mr. Brumback chose banking for his life work, and,
after serving as cashier of The Farmers Bank at Rockford, O., he accepted
the position of teller in the Union Savings Bank of Toledo, O. Here he ob-
tained a valuable experience in the best city methods of banking, and at the
end of two years returned to Van Wert to take the position of cashier in the
Van Wert National Bank. He successfully filled this position for nine years,
until the d of his father, who was president of the bank, when he was elected to
the presidency.
Mr. Brumback is recognized as one of the most sterling, reliable and suc-
cessful bankers of the Middle West. His judgment and foresight are so unerr-
ing that he is constantly consulted on the most important financial matters.
His honesty and character are so well known that no man in Northwestern Ohio
stands higher in public estimation. It is such men who accomplish the great
financial success of the American people, for it is upon them that the safety and
stability of our financial system depend. He is a member of the First Presby-
terian Church of Van Wert and a progressive Republican, meaning thereby
334
BKUMBACH FAMILIES
that he stands for Republican principles so long as they are best adapted to
the national welfare. He has uniformly declined to run for office, having a
field so large for activity in his financial career that the honors and emoluments
of office do not suffice to draw him away from his life work.
Sept. 4, 1889, he m Elizabeth Adelia Pinkerton, b Feb. 5, 1863 ; dau David
Clendenen and Elizabeth (Pyle) Pinkerton, members of an old and prominent
family residing in McConnellsville, O. Miss Pinkerton was a highly accom-
plished lady and the union was a most happy one until the d of the
devoted wife and mother on Jan. 8, 1910 (interred in the family vault at Van
Wert, 0.). Three sturdy sons survive the mother to comfort their father.
And in them he takes all the customary pride that the Brumbacks take in those
who come to perpetuate the name. The Van Wert National Bank in Van Wert
with D. L. D. Brumback as president, Ernest I. Antrim, his brother-in-law
[D266], as vice-president, and John P. Reed, another brother-in-law [D265],
as cashier, comes very near being a Brumback institution. This with other
leading institutions in the thriving little city largely controlled by the gentle-
men named, and the Brumback Library, places the Brumback family well in
the front in that part of the country. (Illustrations.)

from [F28] John James4 Bromback, and in 1908 from the latter's son [F49]
John James5 Brumback, which contain certain facts herewith presented as the
basis for further search by those who may be interested.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF PETER BRUMBACK
" State of Ky. Scott Co. s.s.
We Robert M. Ewing and M. A. Feris do certify that by virtue of annexed
commission to us directed that we have carefully examined Peter Brownback
who seems to have been wounded by a bullet passing through his right thigh
and right Hip. Also wounded in the left arm which appears to have been
made by a sword or some cutting instrument. Also in the head by a similar
instrument but slight. We are of opinion that at his present age the wounds
totally disable him from making a living by manual labor. Given under
our hands this 17th of June 1835.

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
THE WAY TO THE FOREST OF ARDEN*
No signboards show which road to take
To reach its ever-peaceful skies;
Each one must his own journey make
To find where Arden Forest lies.
For who can tell how far to go,
There is no book from which to learn;
One may stop here or there, and lo!
It's gates are just beyond the turn.
The path that leads on straight ahead
May take on farther from the goal;
And this one which so many tread
May still perplex and vex the soul.
What route to take no one can say,
'Tis found on neither map nor chart;
Only the joyous find the way,
Only the kind and light of heart.
By Oscae Brumbaugh.
"From The Savings Journal, Washington, D. C.
SECTION E
JOHANNES HENRICH1 BRUMBACH AND HIS DESCENDANTS
[El] JOHANNES HENRICH1 BRUMBACH, the immigrant (see repro-
duction of immigrant list), and family arrived at Philadelphia on the ship
Neptune, Captain Waire, Sept. 30, 1754, sailing from Rotterdam and stopping
at Cowes, England, for provisions as was the general custom during those long
voyages, filled with innumerable hardships. A brief quotation bearing upon
these hardships is instructive :
" The journey for those who came from Southern Germany in 1754 lasted
' fully half a year amid such hardships as no one is able to describe adequately
with their misery.' The passage from Holland to Cowes, England, alone, often
required from two to four weeks."
Careful search through the land and other records of Philadelphhia, and of
the adjacent counties has not yet been exhaustively made; but, so far as com-
pleted, it has failed to show that Johannes Henrich tarried long in Pennsyl-
vania before settling in the Conecocheague district, north of Hagerstown,
Frederick Co., now Washington, Md., or in Franklin Co., Pa., immediately
adjoining to the north. As noted a few pages later, the Franklin Co. records
are incomplete. It does not seem probable that he could have been the " John "
enumerated in Fairfax Co., Va., in 1785. (See Sec. D.)
There were four children, three born in Germany. [E2] Jacob2
("Jockel'?) b Nov. 27,1734; about 1760 m and settled on a tract of land near
" Funkstown " — Hagerstown, Md., near [CI] Johann Jacob1 Brumbach.
About 1787 [E2] Jacob2 and his brother [E5] Georg2 (called " Yerrick " or
" Yorrick ") removed with the earliest pioneers to Morrison's Cove, then in
Bedford Co., Pa. (Bedford was erected in 1771), now Blair Co., and located
near the Rebecca Furnace property, occupying a large tract of land. The
predatory Indian outbreaks of 1778 and 1779 caused all the early settlers to
leave that locality and these brothers returned to their former homes on the
Conecocheague river in Maryland — perhaps also Antrim Twp., Franklin Co.,
Pa. After the cessation of the Indian depredations these brothers re-occupied
their Bedford Co. lands.
[C18] Eve3 (Brumbaugh) Snoeberger, b 1806, while yet in full possession
of her excellent memory, in 1891 wrote and also said that she " always under-
stood from my father that my grandfather ([CI] Johann Jacob1 Brumbach)

was a cousin to Johannes Henrich1 Brumbach, and Johannes [E4] was known
as the stocking weaver."

[E2] JACOB2 BRUMBAUGH— " Jockel " (Johannes Henrich1) b Nov.
27, 1734 ; about 1760 m his first w, whose name is yet unknown, near " Funks-
town " (Hagerstown), Frederick Co., Md., and there were 6 ch. from this
union. About 1766 Jacob2 m (2) Elizabeth Baker ("Engle"?), and there
were 9 ch. from the 2d m, making a total of 15 ch.
Mr. David Brumbaugh4 Wineland [Ell-X], b April 11, 1817, says that
his maternal grandparents came into Morrison's Cove, Bedford Co., now Blair,
Pa., about 1780, and settled on the farm now owned by Samuel Dilling.
Jacob Brumbaugh appears in the 1786 list of taxables in Antrim Twp.,
Franklin Co., Pa. This was in the " Conecocheague settlement,"4 which ex-
tended also across the Mason and Dixon line into the Hagerstown, Md., region.
A quotation is given concerning this settlement on the Maryland side of the
state line:
"The district (Conococheague) was one of the earliest settled in Wash-
ington Co., Md., and contained a portion of Lord Baltimore's reserved lands
and manors.
"Nov. 9, 1767, the commissioners empowered by him offered these#lands for
sale at the home of Col. Thos. Prather in Frederick Co. The manor contained
over 11,000 acres. The ancestors of the immortal author of ' Star Spangled
Banner ' were residents of the Conococheague district and Edmund Key owned
' Paradise,' an estate of 335 acres, ' Good Hope,' 300 acres, and ' Friendship,'
206 acres. He died in 1766."b
The importance of establishing the identity of the 1786, Jacob Brum-
baugh, taxable in Antrim Twp., Franklin Co., Pa., is evident. Messrs. Elias
B— . Hartle [CI 17-1], Hagerstown, Md., and H. H. Spangler, Mercersburg,
Franklin Co., Pa., made two searches resulting in finding the following deeds,
and the latter further adds : " There is no will on record, and no letters of
administration were granted in his estate. His real estate probably was con-

The author has a letter written May 26, 1888, by George4 Brumbaugh
[E1725] at age 86, in which he says " Conrad and Johannes came from Ger-
many about 1765, and settled within three miles of Johnstown, Pa., where
David and George were born. Conrad died within three miles of Johnstown
when I was too young to remember."
" Samuel Brumbaugh,a a farmer of Perry township, Montgomery county,
Ohio, is descended from Pennsylvania-Dutch stock, the founder of the family in
America having come from Germany. He was Conrad Brumbaugh, and was
the grandfather of Samuel Brumbaugh. It is believed that he was married in
Germany. Two of his brothers also came to America, but the date of their
coming is not now known. From these three brothers sprang all the Brum-
baughs of Pennsylvania.
" Conrad Brumbaugh settled in Lancaster ( ?) county, Pa., probably
before 1761, as it is believed that all of his large family were born in Pennsyl-
vania, and the youngest of his thirteen children was born in 1788. After a
part of his children were born he removed to Morrison's Cove, Bedford county,
Pa., but the Indians becoming troublesome he returned to the more thickly
settled portions of the state. When he reached Morrison's Cove he found the
Indians in possession, and that they had destroyed everything he had left be-
hind, and had killed all the remaining settlers. After the Indian troubles
ceased, Conrad Brumbaugh returned to this place with his family, made a home
and lived there for some time. Then removing to Allegheny county, Pa., he
made a home for his family there in the wilderness, and became one of the
pioneers of that section of the state. His children were John, Daniel, Jacob,
William, Conrad, David, George, Elizabeth and Christiana. Mr. Brumbaugh
was well educated in Germany, and after reaching this country taught school
"[E1771] p. 670.

and became a minister in the German Baptist church, being one of the first
ministers of that church in America."*
REVOLUTIONARY SERVICE OF " CONRAD BRUMBOUGH "b
" Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 10, 1906.
To Whom it May Concern :
I hereby certify that the name of Conrad Brumbough appears as that of
a Private on a Class Roll of Captain John Orbison's Fourth Company, Fourth
Battalion of Cumberland County Militia — Commanded by Colonel Samuel
Culbertson, August 21st, 1780.
See p 767, Vol. 23, Penna Archives, 3d Series.
[SeaZ] Luther Keeker,
Custodian of the Public Records

" Conrad Brumbough " was assessed for no acres, 2 horses, 4 cattle & no
negroes in 1780 (?) in Montgomery Township, County of Cumberland, Pa.
(Pa. Archives, 3d Series, Vol. XX, p. 525.)
" Coonrod Brumbaugh " in 1783, Frankstown Twp., Bedford Co., Pa.,
appeared in the " Supply Tax " for 300 acres and a tax of £6 s6 d6. (Pa.
Archives 3d Series, Vol. XXII, p. 267.)
Conrod Brombagh appears on the list of taxable property of Woodberry
Twp., Huntingdon Co., Pa., in 1788 for 250 acres, 3 horses, 5 cattle, and a
tax of 16s 3d. (Pa. Archives, 3d Series, Vol. XX, p. 344.) The original
records at Huntingdon, Pa., for 1788 show " Conrad Crombaugh " as taxed
18s 3d for State and 8s 2d for County.
The 1790 census for Bedford Co., Pa., enumerates " Conrod Broom-
bough " as having 6 sons under 16, and 4 females.
Especial attention is invited to Conrad's signatures on the Immigrant
List of Countess of Sussex 7 Oct. 1765° and to the minutes of Annual Meeting
of 1789,d as well as to the entry giving him a credit of five shillings June 17,
1800, for " Schooling for the little girl "e— the latter showing him to have been
a teacher near the present Johnstown, Cambria Co., Pa.
•From "Centennial Biographical Record of Dayton and Montgomery County, O— Con-
over 1897," pp. 1230-31— it shows that even family traditions are at times at fault.
'"There is no collateral proof yet discovered as to the identity of Conrad excepting the
locality.

MINUTES OF ANNUAL MEETING (G. B. B.) 1789.a
Article 1. . . . " For this cause we beseech earnestly all brethren who
have distilleries to be diligent to put them away; ... so that peace, love
and union may be planted and restored." . . . &c.
Art. 2. ..." there should be used more diligence to instruct our
dear youth and children in the word of truth to their salvation, and that it is
the special duty of the dear parents, as well as of the pastors and teachers, to
be engaged herein," . . . &c.
Art. 3. " Further it has been discussed, and unanimously deemed good
and evangelical, that all brethren, in all places, should shun all worldly offices,
so as not to serve in any of them, provided it is possible to be relieved from
them — such as supervisor, overseer of the poor, collector, constable, assessor,
or also juryman, etc. Yet it is considered, with some difference, such as super-
visor or overseer of the poor might be served, perhaps, with least objection;
provided, there is no suing, or something contrary to the word of the Lord.
If a brother should be elected to one of these offices contrary to his will, then
only that what he would have to do contrary to the gospel should be rebuked in
love and compassion, according to the word of the Lord."
Art. 4. " Concerning marriages of near relations, especially cousins,
was unanimously considered, and deemed good that such marriages should not
at all be, and that parents should warn their children earnestly in this respect,
so that offense and scandal might be prevented, which have been so often occa-
sioned by it, and that our dear youth may not in ignorance be led into some-
thing, where, perhaps, afterward their thoughts might be accusing one another
about those things which can not be altered any more, and therefore should be
well considered previously in the fear of God.

An article81 by James Horn5 Camerer [E2900-xi-(8) ] +, who has shown
much interest in his family history, is herewith reproduced :
"HISTORY OF OUR FIRST SETTLERS— OWNED FIFTEEN HUN-
DRED ACRES OF LAND— JOHN BRUMBAUGH AND SON-IN-
LAW, DANIEL CAMERER, LOCATED NEAR MARTINSBURG.
"Editor Herald: — The first settlers of Martinsburg were John Brum-
baugh and Daniel Camerer, both of German descent. The following dates, in
connection with their family history and time of coming to this place, are
taken from an old German Bible.
" John Brumbaugh emigrated from Frederick Co., Md., to the Cono-
cocheague settlement in the year 1783. He did not come further at that time,
for in those days it was dangerous to live far from the forts, on account of the
"Martinsburg (Pa.) Herald, Nov. 27, 1908.
JOHANNES HENRICH BEUMBACH AND HIS DESCENDANTS

Indians, and then the red men had possession of this territory. While Brum-
baugh lived at Conococheague, Daniel Camerer, who came from the city of
Worms, near the river Rhine; and who, like Brumbaugh, had settled near the
Mason and Dixon line, married Brumbaugh's oldest daughter, Margaret
Brumbaugh, who was then 20 years of age and her husband a few years her
senior, he having been born in 1760. At that time Mr. Brumbaugh and his
wife, whose maiden name was Mary Elizabeth Metzker, had two daughters, the
younger of whom after their coming to this place became the wife of a man
by the name of Kensinger.
" John Brumbaugh, wife and younger daughter and a boy living with
them, came by way of Fort Louden and Fort Bedford, and on to where Mar-
tinsburg is located, then a wilderness densely covered with timber. Having the
pick of the land he located here. He went back to Bedford and procured a
warrant for 1500 acres of land, March 14, 1785. The Indians were then
leaving this part of the country. Some time afterwards he employed a sur-
veyor and had the land surveyed. Later, September 7, 1792, patent for the
land was issued to him by the Penns, which I have in my possession, but he held
a warrant for the land during the seven preceding years.
" After living here some time another daughter was born in the Brum-
baugh family, Lydia Ann, who afterwards became the wife of John Stoner. I
here relate an incident in the life of Mr. and Mrs. Brumbaugh. While they
were living in Frederick Co., Md., a company of Scotch Highlanders who had
a small child, a boy, in their possession, left the child alone on the door step of
the Brumbaugh home. Mr. Brumbaugh and wife took him in and brought the
boy with them to their new home in the wilderness, or far west, as this locality
was then called. They named the boy Brumbaugh. It was never known to
them how the Highlanders got possession of the child. When he grew to man-
hood he learned to play the violin and was nick-named ' Fiddler Jack.'
" The first house John Brumbaugh built was north of the ' Y,' where
three pear trees are still standing. The second house he built was nearer the
site of Martinsburg, near the present stone house on the Hagey-Clapper farm,
formerly known as the Stoner homestead.
" A few years after John Brumbaugh came here, Daniel Camerer and wife
and two children came to the ' Cove.' Having heard from his father-in-law,
John Brumbaugh, they sold their house and farms, and with their stock and
household goods emigrated to this place.
" While Daniel Camerer and his wife lived at Conococheague Creek near
the Mason and Dixon line, he built a house there, and I am told by good
authority, a man who was there and saw the house, that his name, ' Kammerer,'
372
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
for that was the German way of spelling the name, is cut on a large stone
above the door. The house is yet standing, and anyone going there can see
the stone bearing his name. While living in this house Mr. and Mrs. Camerer
became the parents of two children, a daughter and son, Hannah Camerer born
January 28, 1792, and David Camerer, born July, 1794. When the Camerer
family landed here they had a large amount of money and stock, and for years
were regarded as amongst the wealthiest of the early settlers.
" Daniel Camerer purchased 700 acres of land from his father-in-law,
John Brumbaugh, thereby obtaining the present town site of Martinsburg.
The deed for this land was made November 1, 1799, and can be seen at the
home of the writer. A recorded copy of the deed can also be seen in Bedford,
at the court house, book No. 19, page 62, this territory then being a part of
Bedford county. Aside from the borough of Martinsburg, this 700 acres of
land purchased by Daniel Camerer is divided into the following tracts, begin-
ning at the north: Blake and Straesser tract, James Camerer farm, Snyder
farm, Liebegott farm, Provins farm, John E. Furry farm, S. L. Haffley farm,
and the Orville Long farm. His father-in-law's tract lay to the west and
consisted of the Hagey-Clapper farm, William Tipton farm, and other nearby
lands. Lydia Ann, who became the wife of John Stoner, inherited the home-
stead farm.
" Daniel Camerer and wife were the parents of eleven children, nine of
them being born after they emigrated from Conococheague to this place, Eliza-
beth, born 1796; John, born 1798; Louis, born 1800; Mary, born 1802; Mar-
garet, born 1803; Samuel, born 1806; D. Camerer, born 1807, died in infancy;
Daniel, born 1809; James, born 1812. These are all dead and all buried in
Spring Hope cemetery, except two, Louis, buried at Steubenville, O., and Mary,
wife of Jesse Speelman, buried at Cherrytree, Indiana county, Pa. The latter
inherited the Blake and Straesser tracts which they sold before locating at
Cherrytree. I have no record of the death of John Brumbaugh and wife, but
both are buried in Spring Hope cemetery. Daniel Camerer was aged 73 years
when he died and his wife, Margaret, was aged 69 years at her death.
" Mrs. Daniel Camerer was a member of the Church of the Brethren, then
known as the German Baptist Church, and her sons John and James Camerer,
built the first German Baptist church at Martinsburg, both being identified
with the same church early in life. The building is still standing, corner of
Wall and Christiana streets, opposite the present church, and is owned by Miss
Sara Snyder, of Philadelphia, having been since converted into a dwelling
house, now occupied by J. S. Wareham and family.
" The first minister of the church in this region was Rev. Manelia, who

JOHANNES HENRICH BRUMBACH AND HIS DESCENDANTS

prior to that time was a member of the Roman Catholic church and had been
educated for the priesthood. He withdrew from that church and united with
the German Baptist church. Rev. Manelia was a blacksmith by trade, coming
here at intervals from his home near Mason and Dixon line. On one of his visits
here he told John and James Camerer of an encounter he had with a panther
which sprang at him in his path. He looked the wild animal squarely in the
eyes for a long time when the panther turned and walked away. He had his
blacksmith's leather apron with him, and thinking to frighten the panther,
shook and pounded the apron, but to his amazement the panther sprang back
close in front of him in the path, keeping him at bay for a much longer time.
" Yarach Brumbaugh, who lived at James Creek, was also one of the early
ministers of the church, crossing the Tussey mountain to hold services in the
Cove. The next pastor of the church was Rev. John Soyster, who married
Daniel Camerer's oldest daughter, Hannah Camerer. The next minister of
the church to preach here was Rev. George Brumbaugh, who preached in the
German language in both the old and the new churches.

Wurtemberg, Germany, about 1758. The Metzkers lived about half way
between the present Martinsburg and Fredericksburg on the " Old Livingston "
or " Indian doctor farm," part of which is owned by C. M. Black. Their house
was used for all religious services for many years — the old graveyard is on the
farm. John d at age 80, and is said to have been a nephew of Theobald
Metzger.a
George lived for many years in Morrison's Cove, a few miles from Mar-
tinsburg, then in Woodbury Twp., Bedford Co., Pa. He was a farmer and
also a minister of ability and considerable reputation; he reared a family of
five sons and seven daughters and the entire family were members of G. B. B.
Ch. Together with Johannes5 Brumbaugh [E1700] in 1813 he built the old
grist mill owned and operated by [E183] Henry Dilling5 Brumbaugh at Fred-
ericksburg (Clover Creek P.O.), Blair Co., Pa.— illustrated elsewhere.
George2 [E5] pre-empted for settlement all that section of Morrison's
Cove where the old Fredericksburg mill was later built and where [E3006]
George3 later lived— all this was just south of the [E2] Jacob2 pre-emption.
[E3] Conrad2 pre-empted south of the [E5] George2 pre-emption and part
of Conrad's2 land was later owned by Frederick and Isaac Rhodes (lately
bought by John Law of Hollidaysburg) . [E4] Johannes2, the "stocking
weaver," did not pre-empt land but lived on a small cleared tract, part of what
was later owned by Peter Shoenberger.b
In this connection attention is directed to the deed of Nov. 21, 1799,
wherein [E4] Johannes2 is shown to have acquired " Broomfield," 349 a.,
through warrant of March 14, 1785.
" John Matzgar " in 1789 was assessed in Woodbury Township, Bedford
Co., Pa., for 200 acres, 3 horses, 6 cows and paid a state tax of lis 5d, and a
county tax of 5s 9d. [E5] George2 Brumbaugh at the same time and place
was assessed for 130 acres, 3 horses and 4 cows, and his state tax was 7s 9d,
and his county tax 3s lOd. At that time there were " 118 inhabitants " taxed
in the township, and Joseph Long was the collector for a total assessment of
£99, 7, 3 state tax, and £52, 7, 0 county tax.
John Metzker in 1795 was assessed in Woodbury Township, Bedford Co.,
Pa., for a county tax of 10s 6d.
Metzger or Metzker is most frequently spelled the latter way in the assess-
ments of 1788, 1800, 1810 and by the descendants,0 while it is often spelled
" Metzgar " in the West.

Lieut.-Gen. and Gov. of Breda, and left a large estate which is covered by his
will and codicil of Feb. 2, 1691, a copy of which was published in the above

widow and five children: Nicholas, b May 7, 1748 (confirmed 1762 in the Re-
io rmed Church of Zweibruecken) ; Jacob, who kept an hostelry; Valentine, a
baken ; Theobald, Jr., and Margaret. Their mother, Margaret, d early in
1784. The brothers, Nicholas and Theobald, determined to leave the war
stricken country. They managed to evade the rigid border inspection, being
dressed as mechanics and carrying the tools of their trades — Nicholas was a
lock and edge-toolsmith and Theobald was a shoemaker — and escaped from
the country in May, 1784. After being on the Atlantic ocean over five months,
they landed at Baltimore, Md., in October, 1784. b Theobald remained there
and is enumerated in the First Census of the U. S.° " Theobald Fouse "
" Baltimore Town " as having one son over 16, one under 16, a wife and two
daughters. His will is recorded in W. B. 13, page 101, Baltimore, Md.
Nicholas went to Funkstown, Md., and there resumed his trade of lock-
smith and blacksmith. Soon after his m to [E8] Margaret3 Brumbaugh they

photographs, etc., to be later published in a volume to be called the " Fouse Families in
America." All persons interested in the latter project should promptly communicate with
him; address 404 Ross St., Pittsburgh, Pa.
bThe Fouse brothers had a companion named Conrad Nicodemus, who also settled first in
Maryland and later in Bedford Co., Pa. They continued to be close friends throughout life,
and there are later Fouse-Nicodemus marriages.

there went to housekeeping, and, being quite robust in build and strength, she
is said to have become quite expert in handling the hammer and in otherwise
helping at the anvil whenever necessity called for such assistance. In the spring
of 1789 all the household goods, clothing, smithing tools, food, etc., were
packed into a covered wagon drawn by a yoke of oxen (see " Conestoga
wagon " elsewhere shown) and the little family of parents and two infants,
Margaret4 and Elizabeth4, crossed into " Morrison's Cove," Pa., then in
Cumberland Co., entering at the southern end of the same. They traversed
about 150 miles of rough, forest-encompassed road, probably the route of the
old Baltimore, Chambersburg, and Bedford road, later a turnpike. Turning
northward about where Everett, Bedford Co., Pa., was later built, and passing
up Yellow Creek and on through the gap to where Loysburg, or Pattonville,
was afterwards established, they temporarily settled on a part of the large
tract pre-empted in 1788 by [E2] Jacob2 Brumbaugh, his father-in-law, near
where Rebecca Furnace was later built.
The Census of 1790a enumerates " Nicholas Fouss " in Huntingdon Co.,
Pa., as having " 2 Free white males under 16 years " and a wife. The inter-
esting photographic reproduction of the family record as kept by Nicholas in
his " Tagbuch "b establishes the fact that the enumerator should have recorded
two females rather than two males. However, that Census is a mine of genea-
logical wealth. It also gives Anthony Bever, Jacob Brumbough, John Brum-
bough, Michle Garnur, Abraham Miller, etc., as amongst their neighbors.
Nicholas remained on that tract about four years, and then bought 135
acres about five miles northward. This tract was deeded by Benjamin Tudor
Jan. 3, 1793, for a consideration of £56 — gold and silver — and is recorded in
Book B-l, p. 490, Huntingdon Co., Pa. Tudor pre-empted the same Sept.
27, 1791, recorded in Pat. Book 18, p. 230. On this tract they built a small
log house of four rooms, with a crude chimney in the center and a fireplace on
either side for cooking, and to- measurably keep the family comfortable in the
cold winters. The necessary blacksmith shop was also soon built. All sharp
edged tools were in great demand by the incoming emigrants, besides nails,
hinges, bolts, etc., etc. — all made by hand and mostly at night. During the
day Nicholas had to clear the land of the great trees to prepare for the neces-
sary crops, and when he went to make tools or repair such as were brought to
him by his neighbors, often coming long distances, these same friends would
work in the forest while the blacksmith's skill fashioned their implements. Thus
there was a close community interest and friendship amongst those devoted

pioneer fathers and mothers ; and that sturdy, self-reliant, honest life assured
healthy life, with contentment, and energetic, strong descendants. (Through-
out all this publication the observant reader will see a close relation of facts
necessarily separately given, as the early families are mentioned in various
parts of the volume.)
" Aunt Margaret told us that grandfather frequently referred to these
experiences as an important period in his life. Here amongst the tall oaks,
with no part of the land under cultivation, it was necessary to eke out an
existence for the small family."
As the family increased in size, an addition was made to the house, and
June 24, 1805, Nicholas bought from Levi Roberts an additional 42 acres. a
As time advanced the shop continued to be the important factor in main-
taining the growing family, as well as the source of income. All families were
producers. There was an absence of internal improvements, and large markets
or outlets for farm and other products, excepting by teams to Pittsburgh, and
by rafts and canoes down the Frankstown and Raystown branches of the
Juniata river, thence down the Susquehanna river to Baltimore, or overland
by the improving roads to Lancaster and Philadelphia. The author found
accounts kept with residents along the Frankstown branch, in the admirably
written and well preserved books of the Valley Forge, or Mount Joy Forge,b
showing how far distant the interior settlers had to go for certain supplies.
The extensive river trips were feasible only during the spring and fall floods.
The increasing population in this locality and the increased activities of
all the settlers increased the income of Nicholas, and we find that he purchased
an additional 34 acres from Patrick Dimond Aug. 11, 1815, making the home-
stead farm then consist of 211 acres and allowances, or 226 acres.0
Large landed possessions were not his aim in life, but rather true Christian
contentment — at the same time making good use of what he owned and gradu-
ally accumulated. Like his neighbors and kinsmen he took good care of his
land, and gradually invested his savings in other real estate. After his sons
grew to manhood he gave little personal attention to the farm work, and was
quite conservative in the matter of adopting new practices in threshing the
crops. He favored flaying, because grains and straw would be less injured
than by the tramping of horses. Threshing machines came into use long after
his day.
Margaret3 related that, as a little girl she would often make hasty

trips to distant houses for coals of fire, when the home fire had gone out,
rather than use the slower process of kindling by friction. a The practice was
to cover embers or coals from the great logs with ashes in a corner of the huge
fireplace, and it was usually thus comparatively easy to " keep fire " or preserve
live coals throughout the night.
Margaret3 further said " The forests were being subdued, and cultivated
fields with abundant crops compensated the united efforts of father, mother
and children. Economy and care had brought us to a point where we con-
sidered ourselves in comfortable circumstances. We girls were well satisfied
with calico dresses for Sunday. The boys wore lindsey pantaloons, and
thought it a great improvement over the coarse linen week-day clothes. Coffee
was used only once a week, and that always on Sunday morning. Being a rare
thing it was much relished by the younger members of the family, and they
always looked forward to this weekly treat with great delight.
" The goods for the clothing were all home spun. The flax was raised
on the farm. The men cared for it until it reached the switch stand, then
mother and my two sisters took charge of it until it was ready for the loom.
The same was necessary with the wool from the sheep's back. It had to be
prepared for our Winter clothes and comfort. Nearly all my brothers learned
how to weave, and alternately employed their evenings in that way. We had
a weave shop at the South end of our house where the weaving was done by
the hand loom, by either daughters or sons. Some of the boys were not so apt
at this work. Hard work through the day was frequently offered as an excuse
to mother to get out of it, but she always managed to have them weaving
during the Winter evenings."
Owing to Margaret's3 long continued illness and confinement to her bed
or chair she became the seamstress for the family. She often spoke of the good
health enjoyed by the family, aside from her own crippled condition. " No
serious illness came into the home until the Summer of 1814, when Jonathan3
[E8-X], the youngest of the family and a bright healthy boy of six years,
became seriously ill with fever and spasms. His general health was later re-
stored, but his mind was so impaired that he could not tell one letter from
another or memorize anything. It was a source of deep distress, especially to
mother.
" The early settlers were home makers, scattered along the streams and
springs, and, though mostly Germans, or their descendants, were not always
true to the religion in which they were reared. Religious exercises were ob-
"Phosphorous friction matches were first manufactured on a commercial scale by Treschel

served in the homes under difficulties and the influx of settlers brought with them
peculiarities of doctrine, causing no little confusion among those of so-called
orthodox faith.
" Many of the would-be ministers had no theological training. Father
did not approve of their methods and ascribed the confusion to the lack of
church facilities, therefore labored earnestly to give his family and near neigh-
bors intelligent conception of their spiritual needs."
Dec, 1809, Nicholas took part in the purchase of a lot containing 82
perches from Tobias Hanlinea on which to erect a house of worship. It was
deeded to Nicholas Fouse and Abraham Miller, trustees for the Ger. Ref. Ch.,
and Christian Acker and Adam Sorrick, trustees for the Luth. Ch. — as elders
and charter members of their respective denominations — the first organization
of the kind in Morrison's Cove — and these families continuously worshiped
therein. The remains of these trustees rest in the graveyard, part of the orig-
inal plot, four miles S. of Willi amsburgh, on Clover Creek, Blair Co., Pa.
Nicholas lived three miles distant and continued an active and faithful member
of this congregation.
As before stated, Nicholas was confirmed 1762 in the Ref. Ch. at Zwei-
bruecken, Bavaria. Margaret3 [E8], his wife, was confirmed in the Ref. Ch.
at Funkstown, Md., 1780 (age 14). The home was turned into a place of
worship each Sabbath evening, there being no regular public house of worship
until 1810, the services prior thereto being held in the different homes. No
lab or was permitted about the place on Sunday, except that which was abso-
lutely necessary for the welfare of the family and of the live stock. Social
visiting on the Sabbath was discouraged, but time was always taken to speak
words of comfort and cheer to the sick neighbors. Both Nicholas and Mar-
garet3, and all the children (except the youngest child) were actively and con-
tinuously interested in furthering the interests of the Ger. Ref. Ch., and the
parents were especially zealous to set good examples and to give careful per-
sonal instruction in religious matters.
The Heidelburg catechism served as one of the important books in the
home, and Nicholas taught the children in German, which language he used
throughout his life. At first the nearest private school was two and a half
miles distant — the instruction was indifferent and the term of school was of but
two or three months in mid-winter.
As showing the habits of life prior to 1810, the following incident is given :
" Grandfather Fouse and Conrad Nicodemus lived eight miles apart and be-
longed to the Ref. Ch. and the services were held alternately throughout the

membership. Nicodemus was a progressive man and wealthier than most of
his neighbors. For one of these meetings they prepared their house for the
occasion and put carpet on the floor, the first carpet in the community. Many
people looked with astonishment, thinking pride had caused Nicodemus to cover
the floor with " coverlids. "a
Nicholas was keenly appreciative of the liberty guaranteed under the com-
paratively new government. He was an earnest advocate of free schools, the
separation of church from state ; the establishment of a strong central govern-
ment, and, though not active in politics, he supported Washington, Federalism,
and later the " National Republican " party .b When the war of 1812 was
declared Jacob4 (IV) and John4 (V) belonged to the local militia. "Father
was very anxious on the day the drafting took place, fearing it might require
his boys to go. He had them prepared for it, telling them that if it fell to their
lot they could not do other than go. Their names were not drawn. He had a
great horror of the scalping and butchering practiced by the allies of the
English army. He was loyal and advocated vigorous prosecution of the war,
and had no use for anyone who sympathized with the enemy. Some of the
neighbors, descendants of the Germans and Hessians whom King George had
brought over to fight our patriots, were subject to adverse criticism and nick-
named ' hirelings.' Father thought these criticisms unjust because these
people were forced by their petty rulers to go and fight for the English. When
they laid down their arms many of them became good American citizens, and
he thought such persons justly deserved to be respected by their neighbors
because their sympathies were really with the Americans. It fell to the lot of
the son of one of these Hessians to go to the frontier with the others who took
their departure at the muster of the militia on the Fouse premises. He bravely
took up arms in defense of his adopted country. The prayers and benedictions
of these German fathers being pronounced, they took their departure for the
War of 1812."°
FURNACES AND THE IRON INDUSTRY
About 1812 John Royer built Spring-field Furnace, in Woodberry Twp.,
some five miles northwest of the Fouse home. He preempted a large tract of
land, some of which was rich in hematite iron ore, and most of it was well
covered with forest trees from which he made charcoal. Soon afterward Dr.
Peter Schoenberger, proprietor of the iron works at Marietta, Lancaster Co.,
'Related by John Garner5 Fouse [E8-IX].
"The Republican party was formed in 1856, and its first successful candidate for the
Presidency was Abraham Lincoln.

Pa., preempted large tracts of mountain land, also a large tract known as
" The Barrens " containing considerable hematite ore. About 1817 he built
Rebecca Furnace, later in Huston Twp., four miles south of the original Fouse
farm. All this activity gave the pioneers a ready market for produce, stock,
etc. Extensive hauling was necessary, as the pig-iron had to be conveyed from
the furnaces ten miles to Maria Forges and twenty miles to Petersburg. In
common with many others in the " Cove," the Fouse sons earned money by
chopping wood at 35 cents per cord in the winter, and, during the summer, the
farm was further cleared and cultivated. The success of the iron works soon
led to the establishment of other similar furnaces and forges, and Morrison's
Cove became a veritable hive of industry offering a good home market for every-
thing the farmers could produce, as well as for their labor by team, etc.
" Prior to the completion of the canal and Portage Railroad, in 1833,
there were a large number of charcoal-furnaces and forges in this portion of
Huntingdon County and their product was hauled to Pittsburgh at a cost of
from twenty to thirty dollars per ton."a
March 13, 1819, Nicholas bought another tract containing 134 acres
from John Paulis,b and he soon transferred the same to his cousin, Jacob Brum-
baugh. March 20, 1819, he bought a tract of 138 acres from Henry Acker,0
known as the " mountain farm," and this was deeded to his son, William4 (VI)
on January 8, 1825.° This deed is reproduced because of the signatures, and
also because of the provisions made in the same whereby the son, William4 (VI),
was to annually deliver certain supplies to the parents — the same clause ap-
peared in the several deeds made at this time, through which the father turned
over to his sons all his real estate.
Jan. 1, 1825, he sold to Frederick4 (VII) 112 acres,0 and on the same
date to Theobald4 (VIII) 113 acres0 — the home farm consisted of 226 acres.
Frederick4 and Theobald4 were also to deliver ample firewood.

said deed. The signature of Nicholas, it should be remembered, was made
shortly before his death.
After an illness of almost a week, Nicholas d Aug. 9, 1825, aged 77 yrs., 3
mos., 2 ds., and was buried in the Union Cemetery, now Lutheran, on the Clover
Creek Road, four miles S. of Williamsburg, Pa.
No letters of administration were taken out, as he had disposed of his real
estate before his death. The family agreed to adjust all matters of personal
property amongst themselves, and all were imbued with the idea that justice
and equity had been shown to them by their father (giving each a start in life,
so far as he was able, etc.) and that such fairness must prevail in the division of
his personal estate.
In personal appearance Nicholas was of a ruddy complexion, broad across
the shoulders, muscular, 5 feet 8 inches high, and weighed about 180 lbs. He
was a splendid example, kind and indulgent to his children, yet firm, for his
word was law and had to be obeyed.
Margaret3 [E8] was a " large woman 'of strong bones and muscular,
round faced, inclined to be fleshy, and of about the same weight as grandfather.
She had a kind and true heart, was very fond of her children and grandchildren,
loving them dearly. In return they loved her, were faithful and true to her,
and tried to reward her for her kindness toward them."
Theobald4 (VIII) occupied the original house (not large enough for two
families) and it was decided to build a small house for the mother, Margaret3
[E8], and the crippled sister, Margaret4 [E8-I]. This house was erected in
1826 about midway between the houses occupied by the brothers, Frederick4
(VII) and Theobald4 (VIII).
" Daniel Gamer was the last one to live in the old house built by grand-
father, where they reared their ten children. I was then a small boy and can
remember calling there with my mother because Mrs. Garner, the first wife of
cousin Daniel, gave me a delicious cake. The latter I remember much better
than the date or the appearance of the house."a
As a probable result of overexertion in the early pioneer days, Margaret3
[E8] long suffered from hernia. It became strangulated and she died in much
suffering Aug. 8, 1829, aged 63 yrs. 8 mos, 4ds. Remaining conscious until
within a few minutes of her d, she was concerned about the two dependents,
Margaret4 and Jonathan.4 Turning to the former she said " Peggy, such de

zuflucht bei dem Friedrich." Turning to Adam (IX) she said, "Adam, gebst
du acht auf den Jonathan." All the children assured her that those mentioned
by her should never be in want, and after such assurance her spirit took flight.
She was laid to rest by the side of her husband in the old cemetery adjoining
the place where the entire family had been baptized and confirmed by Rev. John
Dietrich Aurandt, Ger. Ref . missionary ; and the latter also gave Rev. Theo-
bald4 Fouse (VIII) his first systematic theological instruction. Plain marble
tombstones mark their resting places.
These devoted parents were both revered and respected by all who knew
them. They had nobly fulfilled an important mission in family and community,
and each member of the family with singleness of purpose has reflected the
excellent parental training in honesty, industry, and upright lives. Of these
children it is said, " Like their parents they had strong constitutions, were hale,
hearty, naturally industrious and willing to earn their livings by the sweat of
their brows. They were frugal and economical, as well as charitable and willing
to help their neighbors in time of need. They dealt honestly with their neigh-
bors and with each other, and their integrity has never been doubted. They
loved character and a good name more than money, as shown by their records
in their communities. They esteemed each other as a family, tried to contribute
to each other's happiness, and frequently visited each other. They paid their
honest debts, and sought by integrity, industry and frugality to secure homes
and a competency for themselves and their children."
CLOVER CREEK GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH
Jan. 2, 1832, the Fouse children and some neighbors met and entered into
an agreement to build a Ger. Ref. Ch. on the old homestead in honor of Nich-
olas Fouse and Margaret3 (Brumbaugh) Fouse. Frederick4 (VII) and Theo-
bald4 (VIII) agreed to give the ground for the church and graveyard site,
besides paying their pledges — the agreement is reproduced, showing the sig-
natures, terms, etc.
The church was built in 1832, rebuilt and enlarged in 1853 (named Salem
Reformed Church), of brick 40 x 60. Frederick4 (VII) and Adam4 (IX) Fouse
were the building committee, and the structure was dedicated Oct., 1853. Rev.
Henry Harbaugh, D.D., preached the dedication sermon, and was assisted by
the pastor, Rev. Theobald4 Fouse (VIII) and Rev. F. A. Rupley, D.D.
The foundation unfortunately settled, and, a larger building becoming
necessary, a lot across the road was purchased and a larger brick church, two
stories high, was built on the new site in 1884, during the pastorate of Rev.
J. David Miller. The dedication sermon was preached by Rev. I. N. Peightel,
392
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
assisted by the pastor and Rev. F. A. Rupley, D.D. The building committee
this time was Adam Garner5 Fouse [E8-IX-(8)], George B. Greaser, S. B.
Isenberg, and John M. Rhoades.
This was the third building erected on the site donated from the original
Fouse homestead for church purposes, and in which Adam4 (IX), the sole sur-
vivor of the family, was permitted to worship to the time of his death, May 5,
1887. On May 7th his remains were laid at rest in the adjoining cemetery,
where two sisters, Margaret4 (I) and Catharine4 (III) and two brothers, Wil-
liam4 (VI) and Frederick4 (VII), and many of their children, had already been
buried. Nicholas and his w, Margaret3 [E8], rest in the lot purchased, by the
former in 1809.
Theobald4 (VIII) and Jonathan4 (X) rest in the Ref. Ch. yard near
Marklesburg, Huntingdon Co., Pa.; Jacob4 (IV) and John4 (V) rest in the
Union Ch. yard at Uniontown, Stark Co., Ohio; and Elizabeth4 (II) in the
Union Ch. yard (Snyder's) near Cairo, Stark Co., Ohio. In most cases hus-
bands and wives rest side by side, and all the graves are plainly and neatly
marked by marble monuments or tombstones.
CIVIL WAR RECORD OF THE FOUSES
While all of the Fouse families regretted the necessity for President Lin-
coln's call to arms, all of these families sympathized with the North, and (en-
couraged by their parents) many of the sons enlisted in the Union army, where
all rendered faithful service. Some were left dead' and their bodies lost on the
battlefield; some died in hospitals; some were wounded and recovered; and
others, fortunately, were permitted to return home and enjoy the blessings
resulting from a free and united Union.
There were at least 24 of the Fouse kinsmen who served in the U. S. A.
Theobald4 Fouse (VIII) had 7 sons in the army: Christian5 (2), John5 (2),
Benjamin5 (6), Dewalt Shontz5 (12), Reuben Shontz5 (13), Frederick
Shontz5 (14), and Samuel Shontz5 (15); and 2 sons-in-law, Anthony Shultz
and Samuel Grove. Adam Fouse4 (IX) had 3 sons in the service: John Gar-
ner5 (6), Adam Garner5 (8), and Henry Garner5 (9); also one son-in-law,
George Nicodemus. Theobald A. (VI-[2]) Fouse had two sons in the service:
William D. and George. Jonathan Hoover had one son in the service : William.
Jacob C. Hoover had his son Daniel; Jacob Heimbaugh had his son David;
Michael Heimbaugh had his son Jacob; John Miller had his son Abraham;
Frederick Garner had his son Eli ; and Daniel Garner had his son Dewalt, and
one son-in-law, William Warren Waddell, and a nephew, John Peightal (s
Sarah Garner Peightal) — all in active service for their country.

She said that at age thirteen she was out in the field raking hay ; becoming
much heated, she waded the creek on her way home, to " cool off," and took
such a cold as resulted in a serious and permanent swelling of the limbs. The
nearest doctor was at Huntingdon, twenty miles away, and the usual home
remedies and treatment failed to relieve the conditions. It was about twelve
years before she could sit in a chair or begin to move about on crutches, which
latter she was always thereafter compelled to use. She further said, ' 'I am now
so grateful for the tender care of my dear parents, whose nursing through all
those years saved my life. I was the tender branch of the family, but I was
never wanting for care or sympathy from them all my days."
" In stature Aunt Margaret4 was the least in the family. She had a strong
face, was noble hearted and true, and had fixed purposes in life. She loved to
speak of the things that were elevating. Though most of us were young, yet
it was a great pleasure for us children to sit in her room and learn from her —
those talks in the early fifties had a marked influence over us. Her little white
cap ruffled with lace was fittingly in keeping with her neat and tidy appearance.
While she moved about with difficulty her room was always invitingly cozy, and
everything was in its place. It was a pleasure to be with her, and to do her
errands. "a
Frederick4 (VII) complied with his mother's dying request and took Mar-
garet4 (1) to his home, building two rooms to the northern end of his house
where she could live in comfort. He provided a safe horse ("Nelly") for her to
use in riding to church and elsewhere — there were no carriages in that locality
in those early days. She had to have a companion to assist in mounting and
dismounting from her horse, as well as to open bars, gates, etc.
In 1854 Margaret4 moved from Frederick's4 (VII) house to Adam's4 (IX)
and thereafter made her home with the latter's family. Throughout her life
she was very thoughtful of both temporal and spiritual matters; long years
before her death she had prepared her burial clothes, and often spoke of being
ready and willing to die whenever the summons should come. She was troubled
with rheumatism for many years, and in the Spring of 1855 became a sufferer
from a complication of diseases, making her totally helpless. Elizabeth4 (II)
had a bed in her room and constantly and faithfully cared for her every want.
The last illness was brief, and she breathed her last May 9, 1855, aged 68 yrs.,
6 mos., 27 ds. Thus her many sufferings were ended and she was laid to rest
in the faith of her Saviour, whom she loved and served all her days. She had

Abraham Miller, also of Huntingdon Co., Pa. Soon thereafter they moved to
a forest covered tract in Plain Twp., Stark Co., 0., six miles N. of Canton,
remaining there throughout life. He was a son of Abraham and Elizabeth
(Clapper) Miller. Abraham, Sr., came from Bavaria about 1778, landing at
Baltimore, Md., but unfortunately the Maryland immigration lists are not
preserved, as are those of Pennsylvania. He went to the neighborhood of
Funkstown, Md. Tradition says that he served in the German Army, in the
" Seven years war," before emigration. Soon espousing the cause of America,
he became a private in Capt. Henry Hardman's Co., Md. Troop, Continental
Line, 1775-1783. a At the close of the Revolutionary war, he was honorably
discharged; returned to Funkstown and there m (1) Elizabeth Clapper. After
several years they moved to Cumberland Co., Pa. (Huntingdon Co. was formed
in 1789), and we find him enumerated in the 1790 census," Washington Co.,

Oct. 26, 1796, Abraham Miller, Sr., paid William Phillips £200 for 170

pleting the 220 acres granted by warrant to William Phillips March 28, 1774,
and patented to him Sept. 25, 1791. Mr. Miller sold 4 acres from that tract
June 27, 1798, to Adam Sorrick for £8 17s 6d, and, as there is given no wife's
signature to the transfer, he must then have been a widower. The entire farm
was in Woodberry Twp., then in Huntingdon Co., Pa., and on both sides of
Clover Creek — a fine farm containing an excellent spring of water, and situated
three miles S. from Williamsburg, and one mile from the Union Church — of
which as before mentioned Nicholas Fouse and Abraham Miller were trustees ;
where these families worshiped, and in which cemetery the bodies of Elizabeth
Miller, Nicholas and Margaret (Brumbaugh) Fouse were laid to rest. Nich-

years but Abraham, the father, and Abraham, the s, made several trips to Ohio
and June 24, 1813, purchased part of S.E. Sec. 4, T. 11, R. 8, containing 168.6

few days afterward Abraham Miller, Jr., m Elizabeth* Fouse (II) in Pennsyl-
vania and they, with father and mother, started for Ohio in a Conestosa wagon
which after their arrival was used as their place of abode. Soon building a
small log house, they roofed it with clap-boards, and chunked and daubed the
sides with clay. The same was erected near a good spring, and served as their
home for a number of years. The farm was heavily timbered, and after being
cleared became very fertile and highly productive. Pittsburgh was about 100
miles distant and was the main source of supplies for the Canton merchants.

a strong man, a hard worker, and a successful manager, he became unable to
work. Catharine4 then bravely conducted the farm and supported the family.
They lived upon the farm until 1868, when, owing to enfeebled health and the
further fact that the children were living in homes of their own, they went to
live with their son, William5 (10), on a farm in Blair Co., Pa., about one mile

They commenced housekeeping in part of the old Fouse homestead. As before
stated, Theobald4 and Frederick4 (VII) jointly conducted the farm until it was
divided in the purchase from their father Jan. 1, 1825. These brothers con-
tinued in ownership of the several farms until the fall of 1832, when Frederick4
bought his brother's portion of the original farm, and Theobald4 purchased
a farm of 216 acres in Woodcock Valley from Thomas Jackson for $3,000.00,
adjoining the farm of his father-in-law, Christian Shontz. They moved to this
farm in the spring of 1833.
Theobald4 and his father were especially mindful of religious exercises in
the family, and they were also especially fond of the old hymns that were con-
stantly sung under the parental roof. Favorites are remembered as the
Forty-second Psalm; Es ist gewiszlich an der zeit; Wachet auf ruft uns die
Stimme ; Wie Schon leuchtet uns die Morgenstern, etc. This early training
doubtless had a great influence toward causing Theobald4 to become a minister
in the Ger. Ref. Ch., of which his entire family also became members. He was
pastor of the Clover Creek Ger. Ref. Ch.,a and of six others comprising the

decidedly interested and helpful, as shown by letters in possession of

the personal recollections and many notes made by the subject of this
brief sketch when in conversation with the older Fouse ancestors. He
is also actively accumulating additional materials to be used in the
proposed issuance of an enlarged volume to be called " Fouse Fam-

of quiet disposition and very fond of his children and grandchildren ; and that
the latter especially prized his frequent invitations for them to come and eat
apples and other fruits, of which he raised large quantities. He attended
closely and successfully to his farming. In Ohio he is said always to have
written his name " Conrad," and never had his picture taken — his s [E41]

May 1, 1769. John3 together with two of his brothers, Christian3 and Peter3,
went from Va. to Morrison's Cove, Pa., about 1780 — -Peter2, the father, had
eight children, Jacob3, Christian3, Peter3, Abraham3, John3, Mary3, Barbara3,
Magdalene3. John3 and Hannah3 lived on the Christian Miller farm, where Re-
becca Furnace was later erected about 1827, and also on the Samuel Mock
farm near Millerstown. At the latter place is the Wineland family graveyard.
John was a farmer, a plow maker, and often traveled from house to house
mending shoes. It is related of him that upon one of these expeditions he saved
his life by using a stout hickory club to drive off the wolves, which attacked him
late one night. It is also related of him that he and Hannah3 did much of their
" courting " in the harvest field, when he would hand her his sickle and bind
back both his own and her swath, talking as they proceeded, and that sometimes
they tarried long at the far end of the field — working all the harder on the
return swaths.
"Data for this sketch was furnished by [Ell-X] David B.4 Wineland, J. C. Frederick and
John G. Fouse [E8-ix-6] and others.

active in making edged tools and exhibited a fine lot of his own recent
work at the Blair Co. Fair, Sept. 28-Oct. 2, 1908. His memory is
excellent and he and his son, (8) David Loose5 Wineland* are pre-
paring to publish a volume of reminiscences and history of the early
settlers in Morrison's Cove. The latter is Historian for the Wineland
family.
" David4 says when he was 16 years old he helped to harvest wheat
on the John Metzker farm, now owned by C. M. Black, and the wheat
cutting was then nearly all done with the sickle. Twelve men were
helping and they cut 12 acres of rye in one day, which all conceded
was a very good day's work. His father's family cleared the 170
acres that originally belonged to the old Wineland homestead where
"To both father and son the author is indebted for considerable help rendered at various
times.

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
Samuel Mock now lives, and David himself cleared the field just east
of Hoover's shop. To help do this clearing he bought an axe, paying
$3.50 for it, but it was too soft so he tempered it himself, as he had a
small amount of experience in helping John Bridenthal, who operated
a blacksmith shop in Millerstown, a few rods north of John B. Smith's
dwelling house in Henrietta, Pa. It so happened that he tempered it,
as he says, as well as he ever tempered any axe. This so encouraged
him that he decided to do such work, and he soon got plenty of work.
From that time until this he has been an ardent follower of Vulcan.
He made pump augurs for people hundreds of miles away, some
residing in Maryland and Virginia. In Mr. Wineland's over 70 years
of active work as a blacksmith, he has outdone all others in the coun-
try, if not in the state."a

EXTRACTS FROM HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY, OHIO.b
The following extracts are of widespread interest amongst our families
and are here given in connection with the early letters herewith reproduced.
" In the year 1800 Jacob Miller came from Flat Rock Valley, Va., and
settled on the west side of the Miami River, near Dayton, O. He was born in
Pa. (Franklin Co.) in 1735; was a man of ability and labored earnestly for his
church. He was much revered by the red sons of the forest, who said he was
■Original owned by Mr. Scott Huyett, Alexandria, Pa., a descendant of the addressee, and
published through his kindness.
"History of Montgomery Co., O., 1882; p. 60; Randolph Twp.
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
' the good man the Great Spirit sent from the East.' He raised a family of
9 sons and 3 dau., 3 of the former becoming able ministers in the Dunker
Church (G.B.B.). The earliest pioneer Dunker preacher in Randolph Twp.
was Emanuel Flory, who, in 1810, organized a congregation of his co-religion-
ists. For many years they had no house in which to worship, and held service
every alternate Sabbath at the dwelling house of some of its members. Every
member that was able to have meeting would take his or her turn ... in hav-
ing the meeting at his or her residence. It took about 2 yrs. time until it came
back to the starting point. The congregation was served refreshments by the
individual at whose house the meeting was held. All who wished to stay, after
the meeting was adjourned, were made welcome to partake of the hospitalities
of the brother, who always set a bountiful table."
"They have 2 churches, one in Randolph Twp. (Stillwater), the other
in Clay (Salem), . . . each with a membership of 275. The former is pre-
sided over by the Rev. Abraham Flory, Rev. Samuel Kinsey [E60-I], Rev.
John Smith and Rev. George Garver ; the latter by Rev. Abraham Deitrich of
Miami Co., Rev. Samuel Shellebarger, Rev. John Sollenbarger and Rev. Jesse
Kinsey, all gentlemen of ability and refinement and are doing good work in the
advancement of Christianity and enlightenment."
Page 68 of the same reference, under "Jefferson Twp.," gives further
data concerning Eld. Jacob Miller, etc., and further says:
" Services were then held in the groves, ' God's first temples,' and in each
other's cabins, until after the building of schoolhouse and meeting houses.
Rev. David Bowman was also one of the very early G. B. B. ministers, and a
colleague of Jacob Miller. The first meeting house of the twp. was a union
one, built jointly by the Luth. and Ger. Ref. people in 1812, constructed of
hewed logs, one story high, with an extensive gallery, and was a model struc-
ture for the day. Each of the male members hewed his share, and hauled them
to the site selected."

Bauer. Upon his father's d he succeeded to the old homestead farm ("Tim-
othy Meadows ")a in Penn Twp., Huntingdon Co., Pa., and in 1830 moved
into the small stone house built beside a fine spring a little distance from the
stone mansion erected by [E2] Jacob2 on higher ground — the original house
stood a little nearer the road than the present old stone house, but on part of
the present site. The picture here illustrated shows but part of the smaller
house, owing to its location and was a " snap shot " taken many years ago
(the house also was where the parents of the compiler began housekeeping, and
the small upper window lighted the room in which he was born). The fence
conceals a porch, and there were stone steps leading from a landing down to
the spring which flowed in front of the lower opening — a door leading into
the " spring house " of delightful, toothsome memories. This house was torn
down some years ago, but the cornerstone is preserved. The latter is about
3 ft. x 1^ ft. x 2 in. and bears the inscription:

[E13] George3, like the other older Brumbaughs, was a man of large
stature, being 6 ft. 1 in. tall, " heavy set and broad chested " — " he had a
powerful head of dark hair," cut short; he wore a full beard and had heavy
eyebrows; he was courtly in manner, and generous in spirit. He always rode
horseback, using " Possum " which was reserved for his exclusive use ; this
horse was as wild as a colt for children and strangers, but would sidle up to
the mounting block and be as gentle as a kitten for its owner. Many readers
will remember amusing incidents concerning " old possum " and his tricks, yet
he was a faithful horse and served his master well.
George3 was an elder in the G. B. B. Ch. and was known as an " exhorter "
of special earnestness, and spoke in German. He was succeeded in the eldership

INDENTURE OF [E13] GEORGE3 BRUMBAUGH FOR SERVICES
AND EDUCATION OF SUSANNA STIFFEY— JAN. 30, 1814.
This Indenture Witnesseth That James Saxton and Abraham Vantries Overseers of the
Poor of the Borough of Huntingdon, in the County of Huntingdon and Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, Have put and placed, and by virtue of an Act of Assembly of the State, entitled
"An Act for the relief of the Poor do hereby, with the approbation and Consent of John
Miller and Thomas Ker, Esquires, two of the Justices of the peace for the County aforesaid,
put and place Susanna Stiffey a poor child of the Borough of Huntingdon aforesaid, appren-
tice to George Brombaugh of the Township of Hopewell, in the County and Commonwealth
aforesaid, with him to dwell and serve, from the day of the date hereof, until the full end and
Term of Fifteen years three months (or until she arrives at the age of Eighteen years) during
all which Term the said Susanna her said Master faithfully shall serve in all lawful business,
according to her power and ability and honestly and obediently in all things demean and

Thos Ker
In the usual form Jno. Miller, " one of the Justices of the Peace " for
Huntingdon Co., Pa., executes the acknowledgment.
Accompanying the above " Indenture " is preserved a receipt " April 2th
1819 Received of George Brumbaugha $267 cent for Schooling Susanna Steffi
four month Reed by me Jacob Showalter "
Jacob Showalter on the same paper also receipts to George3 [E13] for
" four months schooling " of Susanna, April 15, 1823, and March 4, 1825.
January 18, 1822, [E13] George3 sent to Huntingdon, Pa., by his close
business friend " John Patton Esq. Twenty dollars in full of a fine imposed
upon him by the Commissioners for refusing to serve as Collector (of taxes)
for the year 1821." This action was undoubtedly due to his religious scruples
against holding political office. The receipt" is reproduced and illustrates the
fact that the great majority of the German ancestors neither sought position
nor would accept the same, even after election or appointment. The task of
portraying their lives is, therefore, rendered much more difficult than it would
be if their activities were at. least partly recorded amongst public records, other
than realty transactions.
TURNPIKES
Like most of this early non-office holding class, George was public spirited,
and favored the creation of much needed public improvements. " The river
could only be relied upon for the floating of arks and keel boats when the water
was at a certain stage. During the frosts of winter and the droughts of
summer navigation was suspended, and some other means of communication
between the upper Juniata region and the seaboard " and the West became
necessary ..." Other sections of the State, imitating the example of the
older countries, had tested the merits of turnpikes, and soon the project of the
construction of a macadamized road from Harrisburg to Pittsburg was agi-
tated." The " Harrisburg and Pittsburg Turnpike Road " was incorporated
"These papers were preserved by [E225] George Boijer5 Brumbaugh, it is interesting to
note that FE131 George3 in his signature of June 30, 1814, wrote it " Broombaugh, and the
name in body of receipt of April 2, 1819, (in his handwriting) appears as "Brumbaugh, and
that in the body of the former indenture the name is " Brombaugh."

created the "Huntingdon, Cambria and Indiana turnpike road."a The company
was finally incorporated Feb. 15, 1815, and 77 miles of road was finally opened
from Huntingdon, Pa., to Blairsville, much of it through " a rugged and
sparsely settled region." Amongst the supporters of this public improvement
and necessity we find [E13] George3, who on Oct. 22, 1821, sent money " By
the hands of John Patton, Esq." to Huntingdon, where subscriptions were
received, and received a receipt calling for its stock.b This company also
issued " scrip " or " shin-plasters " to carry forward its extensive improve-
ments.

THE GARNER FAMILY
Owing to the extensive intermarriages between Brumbaugh, Fouse and
other closely related families some details are herewith presented.
John Michael Garner was 6 in 1728 in Wurtemberg, Germany. With his
parents, after a voyage of six months, they landed at Baltimore, Md., in 1738
or 1739, according to tradition. The Garner family soon went to the vicinity
of Sharpsburg, then Frederick Co., Md., and engaged in farming upon or near
Antietam Creek. Sept. 24, 1769, he there m Catharine Seiss, a native of
Switzerland, and they soon went to housekeeping and farming near Sharps-
burg. He followed that occupation until the latter part of the Revolutionary
War, when he enlisted as a private in a co. recruiting near Funkstown, Md.,
under Capt. Henry Hardman. In common with other German patriots from
that locality he actively participated in a number of battles, and was mustered
out at the termination of the war. He continued at farming until the autumn
of 1788, when he took his family to Huntingdon Co., Pa., following the old
Chambersburg and Bedford road to "Bloody Run" (Everett), where they
turned N. following the eastern side of Tussey's mountain. They settled on a
farm in Hopewell Twp. (now Penn), in Woodcock Valley, l1/^ miles N.E. of
the site of Marklesburg (James Creek P. O.) and 12 miles from Huntingdon.
He later purchased the " improvements " on this tract containing 279 a, 59 p
and allowances preempted by Robert Whitner — deeded June 20, 1794, by
John Penn and John Penn, Jr., for £112 s5.a
The Census of 1790 for Pa., p. 76, for Cumberland Co., gives " John
Garner " as having a family consisting of himself and two females, and on the
next line appears " John Garner " as having a son over 16, one under 16, and
four females; and for Hopewell, Newton, Tyborn and Westpensboro town-
ships another " John Garner " as having a family of one son under 16, and
four females. Page 123, same reference, for Huntingdon Co., Pa., enumerates
" Michle Garnur " as having a son over 16 yrs., 3 sons under 16, and 3 females,
including the mother.
Tradition says that John Michael Garner d at the homestead farm be-
tween 1805 and '10, and that his w d some years later. Their remains rest in
the " Frank Cemetery " upon the adjoining farm. The family of seven chil-
•Recorded Aug. 19, 1794, in Deed Book D, p. 248, Huntingdon Co., Pa., in the name of

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
dren were reared upon that farm, yet owned by George* Garner [E18-V] and
tilled by the latter's s, Winfield Scott5 Garner.
George4 Garner relates how his grandfather, John Michael Garner, and
others were besieged by the Indians in the " Hartsocks fort,"a which stood near
the Frank cemetery on the Frank farmb, now owned by the heirs of [E274]
David Boyer5 Brumbaugh:
" The entire company of settlers including the women dressed in men's
clothing and went out through a back window coming around through a
sheltering ravine and re-entering through the front opening in the stockade.
This they continued until the Indians decided that a large body of recruits had

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
Hoover5 Brumbaugh, James Creek, Pa., shows all records written " Brum-
bach," and this record has been reproduced herewith.
The facsimile record of the division amongst his children by Isaac Bauer
on Aug. 21, 1820, is shown elsewhere [See E13], to which the reader is espe-
cially directed. Such division during the father's lifetime was a common prac-
tice in his time and possessed many advantages — it also explains in part why
there are so few wills to assist in the compilation of this history.
" David3 Brumbaugh and Matthew Garner (his bro.-in-law, John Mat-
thew Garner, see [E18]) were the owners of the land on which Marklesburg
is located. It was part of the tract which was for many years in dispute
between the Bank of North America and the heirs of Dr. Allison. David
Brumbaugh put an end to the conflict in title by purchasing both claims. The
town was laid out in the summer of 1844 by Jacob Cress well, surveyor, and
was named in honor of Gen. Joseph Markle, the Whig candidate for Governor
of Pa."a
David3 served as burgess of the borough of Marklesburg, Pa., in 1879 ;
member of town council 1877 and 1881 ; school director 1874 and 1876.
In personal appearance, as recently described by his s, [E95] David4, he
was " tall, heavy set, large of bone, and a farmer and carpenter at the old
homestead."
David3 and Barbara and their children were members of the G. B. B. Ch. ;
they lived in the substantially built stone house on the farm upon the edge of
Marklesburg (James Creek P. O.), Huntingdon Co., Pa., where Barbara d
Nov. 4, 1859, and David3 d Nov. 19, 1880. The latter's will is recorded in
W. B. 9, p. 201, Huntingdon Co., Pa., and was witnessed by [E225] George
Boyer5 Brumbaugh and A. Megahan. John Brumbaugh Replogle [E3009-
II], his son-in-law, was administrator.
The family record is clearly written in German in the large Bible: " David
Brumbach ist zur Weld gebornen 29 September 1793."
Then follows the record of the children (4 of generation'1) :
[E92] + " John Brumbach gebornen Feb. 1814.
[E93] + Isaac Brumbach gebornen Aug. 21, 1815.
[E94] + Elizabeth Brumbach gebornen Jan. 9, 1817.
[E95] + David Brumbach gebornen Feb. 7, 1824."

established a successful nursery in 1852. Early in life he and his

minister and later elder.
Peter Nead, b 1796 near Hagerstown, Md., was s of David Nead,
and in 1846 moved from Va. to O. Peter united successively with the
Luth., Meth. and G. B. B. churches ; and in the latter was one of the
early ministers in his locality to preach in English, and for many
years was an active elder.
" Peter Nead, another of our veteran preachers and elders, taught
school in his younger days. He was an honored member of our
general church councils, and in other church work, as well as a writer
and publisher of books. At one time his publications could be found
in almost every brother's family or home."a
At Staunton, Va., in 1834, Peter Nead published " Primitive
Christianity, or a Vindication of the Word of God."b
. . . " The Vindicator, an 8 p monthly, was started (March 1,
1870) by Eld. Samuel Kinsey, assisted by the advice and counsels
of Brethren Peter Nead, Daniel Miller, Abram Flory, D. Saylor,
Daniel Brower and others. It was published at Dayton, O., at
one dollar per year."c It was distinctly a religious paper; in a few
years became a 32 pp. monthly, published at Kinsey Station, O. ;

Church " or " Old German Baptist Brethren," and is yet published

MATRIMONIAL REMINISCENCE"
" Long, long ago there was an uncommon time of matrimony in Lanier
Township, Preble County. The parties concerned were of two very respectable
families. One of them, Daniel Adney, one of the first settlers of his neighbor-
hood, moved in the woods with his family and cleared the farm known in later
years as the Classon farm. The other was old Peter Rinehart, as he was
familiarly called. But Mr. Rinehart came to the neighborhood in later years
and bought a farm on the road from Winchester to West Alexandria about
three miles from Mr. Adney's. Both families came from Virginia.
" These two families lived peaceably and friendly, as neighbors should, but
in the course of time a talk of a great secret got out among the neighbors of
something going on between these two families — Mr. Adney's and Mr. Rine-
hart's — and finally it couldn't be kept any longer, and old Peter's oldest son
Jacob called on old Daniel for his daughter Polly to wife. Now Daniel being
kind-hearted didn't ask Jacob to serve seven years for his wife, so Daniel gave
Polly to Jacob to wife, and Jacob and Polly went their way rejoicing, and
multiplying and replenishing the earth.
"See Plates 11, 131.

" Now there was quietness once more, but this didn't last long, for a new
rumor got out and went the rounds among the neighbors and finally it became
public that old Peter's second son, Peter, called on Daniel for his daughter
Sally. Now Daniel knew young Peter was a good boy, and Daniel gave Sally
to Peter to wife, and Peter and Sally went their way rejoicing.
" Now old Daniel expected peace and comfort, but not so. It wasn't long
until the same rumor got out that old Peter's third son, Daniel, called on old
Daniel for his third daughter, Betsy. Now old Daniel thought old Peter was
coming down rather strong, but he had too much grit to be outdone by old
Peter, and gave Betsy to Daniel to wife, and hoped that all would be quiet.
But not so. Old Peter started out his fourth and last son, David, for Daniel's
fourth and last daughter. Now David called on old Daniel for Rebecca. Old
Daniel said unto David, ' Take Rebecca to wife, as you have been a good boy.'
And David and Rebecca went their way rejoicing.
" Now here is a family of four sons who married four sisters of another
family. Who can beat this? Old Boy."

from the Clover Creek Congregation, Blair Co., Pa. As elsewhere noted [see

a quarter of a century."

Jacob4 was a successful farmer, a devoted Christian gentleman of the
old school, dear to the entire community in which he long moved. Himself and
wife were faithful and active members of G. B. B. Ch., as were all of their
children. One of the great delights of the author was to go to " Grand-
father's " and roam over the old homestead, stocked with the finest of apples
and other fruit by [E227] Abraham W — .5 Brumbaugh, and from which even
the "old stone house" [see E13], in which he was born, has disappeared —
replete with memories of departed loved ones. Jacob4 always used German in
the family religious worship, and in saying " Grace " at the well filled table,
although he spoke and wrote excellently in the English language. He fur-
nished many important basis facts for this publication.

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
JACOB4 BRUMBAUGH [E68] DECLARES THE TERMS OF AN
AGREEMENT WITH ABRAHAM W— .5 BRUMBAUGH-
APRIL 1, 1871.
" I, Jacob Brumbaugh, hereby acknowledge and declare that in the lifetime of my son
Abraham W. Brumbaugh ([E227]) we entered into a verbal agreement whereby I agreed to
sell to the said Abraham that certain plantation or tract of land known as my mansion farm
situate in Penn Township, Huntingdon County, Penna. adjoining land of Henry5 Brumbaugh
[E224] on the north west, of Andrew S. Grove on the north east, of Isaac Brumbaugh [E67]
on the south west and south east, containing 145 acres more or less, including a small parcel
of timber land on the north side of Back Bone ridge, for which the said Abraham agreed to
pay to me the sum of six thousand dollars as follows, to wit, two thousand dollars to be
credited as a gift to him to equalize him with my other children to whom I sold land, (and
the others to whom I have given, or intend to give one thousand dollars), and the remaining
four thousand dollars to be paid in eight yearly installments of five hundred dollars, without
interest until due, the first to be due and payable 1st April 1868, and yearly thereafter. I
reserve the right to have, hold, and use during my natural life a brick house adjoining the
old mansion on said premises with ground around sufficient for my use and free access to
same, say twenty feet in front and on each of the other sides, except where it adjoins the
other house; also whatever I may deem necessary in the several gardens not exceeding one
third thereof, also a truck patch for potatoes not exceeding one fourth of an acre ; also the
use of one third of the spring house; also stabling in the barn with hay from the farm and
pasture to be furnished by said Abraham for one horse and two cows ; also the pig pen now
used by me or another in place of it to suit my convenience; also apples from the orchard for
my own use not exceeding the one fourth thereof ; also sufficient wood for fuel to be cut and
hauled to said house by said Abraham. It was further understood and agreed that the money
expended by me in the erection of said brick house should at my death be paid by said Abra-
ham to my estate, which sum in consideration of all circumstances I now reduce to and fix at
the sum of four hundred dollars, and the same is charged upon the land for the benefit of all
my heirs. In pursuance of which said agreement the said Abraham took possession of the
farm subject to the said restrictions and paid to me on account of the purchase money $500.00
the first installment due 1st April 1868, and on account of installment due 1st April 1869
$184.38, subsequently said Abraham died in possession of said land and Henry Brumbaugh
his administrator has paid me $1,315.62, as per two receipts given him making the installments
due up to and including 1st April 1871, and leaving to be paid thereafter the four installments
of $500.00 each. In consideration of said provisos I agree that I will make and execute a
deed to the heirs of the said Abraham or any person in trust for them and their mother
according to her legal rights upon the said balance of purchase money being paid or secured
by bonds or mortgage binding the land — also securing in same way the $400.00 payable at my
death to my executor or administrator. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and
seal the 1st April 1871, and the widow of said Abraham and his administrator have subscribed
as witnesses and thereby signified assent.

the subject of this sketch. They lived on a farm situated in Penn Twp. and
on the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River. John4 retired from active
farming at 65 ; was a deacon and later a minister in the G. B. B. Ch., of which
his wife and all the children were also active members.
John4 and his wife lived on the old home farm in part of the house occu-
pied by his son Isaac5 [E277] — later they lived with their son David Boyer5
[E274] on the " Corners " farm two miles farther up the Raystown Branch,
where Catharine d July 24, 1882. Later David5 bought the " Frank farm "
[See E226], also in Penn. Twp., where the entire family lived, and where John4
[E69] d May 25, 1896, aged 87 yrs., 3 mos., 7 ds., and was buried in the
" Brumbaugh Cemetery " on the nearby original homestead.
An interesting incident is related :a John4 smoked steadily until he
reached age 70. He felt that he was in this respect not setting a proper
example for others and decided to stop the use of tobacco. His words were:
" I will die rather than be overcome by it." During the remaining seventeen
years of his life he used no more tobacco, showing what determination of pur-
pose can accomplish. (Illustrations.)

by Rev. Jacob Good; lived in Pa. until spring of 1892, when they moved to

ville, Huntingdon Co., Pa. ; dau Robert and Elizabeth {Stevens) McCarl.
During the Civil War Alfred5 served as bugler in Co. F, 12th Pa. Cav.,
and his bro, [El 14] Andrew5, served in the same company.
" In early life Mr. Brumbaugh united with the M. E. church and all his
life demonstrated the reality of the religion which he professed. When in 1859
it was desired by the handful of Methodists, who were among the early settlers
of Mapleton, to organize a class here, it was Mr. Brumbaugh and one of his
brothers who walked to Bridgeport to see Mr. and Mrs. Martin Wilson, who
then resided there, about withdrawing their membership from the then strong
Mill Creek congregation and uniting with the struggling band at Mapleton.
Their mission was successful and for the more than half a century that has since
elapsed Mr. Brumbaugh took the same active interest in church work. He was
rarely absent from his place. He was passionately fond of music and a revival
or social service in which his strong voice was not heard leading in the songs
of invitation or praise would have been incomplete.
" Mr. Brumbaugh frequently filled positions as an official in this borough
and though not specially trained for such duties his wealth of common sense and
good judgment proved valuable and his sterling honesty made him a valuable
acquisition in local governmental affairs. As a neighbor and friend, he was as
494
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
loyal and faithful as in other capacities. He never swerved from the line he
believed to be right.
" The death of Mr. Brumbaugh removes a landmark and is a decided loss
from a human point of view, to his family, the community and the church. The
world has its ideas of success, and he may not have measured up to its stand-
ards, but no well-balanced mind can look upon such a life and deny that it was
eminently successful. We commend his career to every young man. In early
life he had the wisdom to choose the Christian life and when the time came
to change mortality for immortality he goes to the tomb ' like one who wraps
the draperies of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams,' and
all who knew him are moved to speak his praises."a
Alfred5 died suddenly from apoplexy July 3, 1910, and is survived by
six ch — Robert Henry6 [E600], and Jesse Elmer6 [E602] live at Mapleton,
Pa., which place had been the home of the family since 1857.
"Sarah Jane Brumbaugh, widow of the late Alfred Brumbaugh, died at
her home on Railroad street at 8 :20 o'clock Monday evening, January 23,
1911, of pneumonia, after an illness of two weeks.
" Mrs. Brumbaugh's maiden name was McCarl, she being the only daugh-
ter of the late Robert and Elizabeth (Stevens) McCarl and was born in Cass-
ville, Pa., May 12, 1844, hence was aged 66 years, 8 months and 11 days.
When she was ten years of age the family moved from Cassville to Mapleton
and with the exception of one year (1870), which was spent in Mount Union,
the balance of her life was spent here. Feb. 22, 1868, she was united in marriage
at Mount Union to Alfred Brumbaugh, who died July 3, 1910. To them were
born eight children, six of whom — four sons and two daughters — survive. They
are John A., of Wilkinsburg; Robert H. and Jesse E., of Mapleton, and Ira
Victor, of Lewistown ; Mrs. Delia Craig, of Huntingdon, and Mrs. Catherine
Beale, of Altoona. There also survive six brothers, as follows : William Mc-
Carl, of Mercersburg; Edward McCarl, of Clarks Ferry; W. S. McCarl, of
Juniata ; R. N., Geo. W., and Elmer E. McCarl, of Mapleton.
" Mrs. Brumbaugh united with the M. E. ch. in 1869 and her life was a
living epistle of her profession. For some years past her hearing had been
defective but last Sunday this function was restored to her in a marked degree
of perfection. She at once summoned the friends to her and expressed her
gratitude and appreciation of their ministrations, and for the many pleasures
they had given her in her life. All day Monday this clearness of her faculties
continued and in the evening, at the time above stated, she calmly and peace-
fully relinquished the burdens of life to assume the pleasures of immortality.

which is one of the best amongst the noted farms of his locality. David4 was
a son of William H.3 and Mary A. (Brandenburg) Heckman. William H.3
was born Dec. 25, 1804, in Franklin Co., Va., and was taken from Va. to
Clarke Co., O., in 1811, by his parents, David3 and Mary Ann (Snuffer) Heck-
man. The log cabin erected by William on a government tract of 80 acres of
primitive forest was the only house for many miles around.
The Heckman family throughout the generations are and have been active
members of G. B. B. Ch., and have always stood high in their localities and
have held various church positions of trust. David4 was a retired farmer of
worth and integrity and, until his d in 1911, lived near Union, Montgomery

in Penn. Twp. ; in that year the family moved to a fine large farm which he
purchased in the Cumberland Valley, near Chambersburg, Franklin Co., Pa.
He was supervisor of Penn Twp. in 1865 and other years, and favored good
roads everywhere. He farmed, with the assistance of his son, Milton Grove6
[E631], until he retired from active work a few years before his death, the
latter occurring Jan. 28, 1907. He was a deacon in the G. B. B. Ch., and

denomination. (Illustration.)

tended public school at the " Bowers school " ; for one term went to a subscrip-
tion school at Marklesburg to work up some branches not taught in the
public school. He began teaching in 1849 and taught one term at the " Sum-
mers schoolhouse," one term at the "Mill schoolhouse," two terms at the
" Corner schoolhouse," and two terms at the " Peightel schoolhouse."
He was elected to the ministry of the G. B. B. Ch. in 1863, while he resided

request of his brother, Andrew Boelus5 Brumbaugh, M. D. [E226], who then
lived in Marklesburg, he moved to that village in 1865, and engaged in the
general mercantile business in connection with his ministry. He is well known
in his community and in the church at large as an eloquent and forcible speaker,
and is colloquially distinguished from his cousin, George5 Brumbaugh [E275],
another minister in the James Creek Congregation of the Church of the Breth-
ren (G. B. B. Ch.), as " talking George," which phrase ^indicates his natural
eloquence and pulpit power.
He was appointed by the court to make the survey of the original village
of Marklesburg, and later made the survey for the extension of the boundaries
of this borough ; was borough engineer for many years ; was a member of its
first council and also of many subsequent councils. He served as burgess of
the borough, and also as a member of its school board. He was postmaster of
James Creek (Marklesburg P. 0.), Huntingdon Co.<, Pa., for twenty-four
years, and at one time owned more acres of land than any other resident of
Penn Twp. In his later years he retired from mercantile business and has
returned to his early love — the farm — living near the borough limits of
Marklesburg, Pa.

THE GROVE FAMILIES IN PENNSYLVANIA
Owing to the intermarriages between Brumbaughs and Groves in Pa., and
between Brumbacks and Groves in Va.,a part of the latter early coming from
Pa., the following details are given:
"Jacob Grove (originally Graf, Graff, Grof, Groff, and finally Grove)
came from Lancaster Co., Pa., in 1795 or 1796. He located on the farm at
present owned and occupied by Benjamin H. Grove, a grandson, situate about
two miles south of Grafton, in Woodcock Valley (Penn Twp., Huntingdon Co.,
Pa.). He had eight children, five sons, viz.: Benjamin, Daniel, Jacob, John
and Andrew, and three dau. Of the sons, Jacob and Andrew still reside on the
Raystown Branch, in Penn Twp. One of the daughters is still living, and re-
sides at Logansport, Ind. The Grove family is one of the largest in the town-
ship."

David, John, Daniel, Marcus, and Samuel. The probable relationship to the
later Grove families has not been traced.b
The excellent photograph of Rev. George Boyer Brumbaugh, herewith re-

" Forge " property, formerly owned by him, but now part of the state forestry
reservations. George5, in common with almost every visitor to this won-
drously wild and beautiful tract of several thousand acres, is always happy
while there. During the winter term of 1878, when smallpox in Huntingdon
caused the closing of the Brethren's Normal School, he immediately offered
free asylum there to such students as might desire to make it their home.0

Twp., Huntingdon Co., Pa. His education was begun in a subscription school
prior to the establishment of an organized system of public education in
Penna., and continued in the public schools, after which he taught nine years."
He attended a select school (" Academia ") near Newport, Perry Co., Pa., and
Millersville State Normal School. While working upon his father's farm, and
at the carpenter's bench, he studied some of the higher branches, ever striving
to better equip himself — " Life is real, life is earnest ! " was often repeated by
him to his son, and others — these words explaining his constant activity in
bettering conditions about him.
" His early training was academic, not collegiate, but by private study
and earnest application he became a thorough master of the classics and
sciences, thus fitting himself for that large sphere in life to which ambition
and destiny led him."
Oct. 11, 1859, he m Maria Baer Frank, b Feb. 10, 1840, on the " Frank
farm,"" in Penn Twp., Huntingdon Co., Pa.; dau Jacob and Elizabeth Bru-
baker (Baer) Frank. Her parents came from Lancaster Co., Pa., where the
Brubakers, Baers and Franks have a long and interesting Mennonite ancestry.
Andrew5 decided to make the practice of medicine his life work. While
earning a living for his small family by working at the carpenter trade, with
anatomy and other medical books open before him upon the work bench, he laid
deeply the foundation for his later medical and surgical success. He also
trained both hands, and became ambidextrous for his later surgical and other
professional work. He matriculated at the Med. Dept. of Univ. of Pa., Oct.,
1863, and graduated (M. D.) in the class of 1866 — thesis was " The True
System of Medical Electicism." Prior to graduation he had acquired a con-
siderable medical practice in Penn Twp. and at Marklesburg, as shown by his
diaries for '62 and '63. His entry for Jan. 27, 1865, 43 yrs. before his death,
shows his constant dependance upon the Heavenly Father : " Had four patients
today . . . May the Lord, in whom we trust, and on whom we rely, prosper
and assist me and give me wisdom, that I may succeed fully in my calling!
Amen ! "
Oct. 12, 1864, the family moved from the homestead farm to Markles-
burg. April, 1866, he located in the office of the late Dr. Luden, in Hunting-
don, Pa., and continued in active practice in this town until his death.
"Since his death many of his old pupils have feelingly spoken and written of this period
of his life, when he earnestly put before them high ideals in life.
"This was the site of "Fort Hartsok" (or "Hartslog"), closely adjoining the Brum-
baugh homestead, and this farm later passed into ownership of the late [E274] + David Boyer6
Brumbaugh.

" A VISIT TO MORRISON'S COVE "
" On Friday, Feb. 23d (1867) we set out for Morrison's Cove via Hunt-
ingdon, Saxton and Cove Station. At Huntingdon we had the opportunity
of visiting brother Andrew B. Brumbaugh, now very successfully engaged in
the practice of medicine. Hope he may, under the blessing of the great Physi-
cian, and by close application to the duties of his profession, be the instrument
through which much suffering may be spared our unfortunate race."a
Intense concentration and keen observation were the key notes of his life.
Much of his recreation and happiness throughout life was drawn from the
gratification of his intense love of nature and for nature study. As these lines
are penned, memories of delightful walks and drives in his company over the
hills and vales of Pa. pass in rapid succession before the author and such ex-
periences will be remembered alike by family, friends and patients.
Dr. Brumbaugh loved books and literary work. His diary for Sept. 24-
25, 1864, and the following letter, are significant and especially interesting,
referring to the wonderful collection of books, much of which his nephew
[M. G. B., E682] later secured for the institution even mentally planned at
that early date:
..." Left the city about 9^ hrs. to come to Indian Creek Church to
a lovefeast. Came by the North Penna. R. R. to Louder's station, and walked
to place of meeting, 6 ms. Enjoyed myself much at the meeting, after which
I went with Bro. Umsted to Bro. Abraham H. Cassel's. He has the largest
library of any brother or other private individual in the Commonwealth. His
collection is of many of the rarest and most ancient works in the world. Many
exceedingly valuable works are found on his shelves. He has much material
of immense value to the Church, and to a Church school that should be
founded."
" This morning as soon as breakfast was over, we went to look at Bro.
Cassel's very extensive library. Here I enjoyed myself very much until late
meeting time. Good meeting. After meeting I went back to Bro. Cassel's,
where I stay over night. This evening we looked over many literary, and other
curiosities. Also many of Bro. Cassel's own productions in manuscript. We
did not retire until a late hour." . . .
" Hundreds of times have I talked of you and held up your achievements
as an incentive to others to make greater efforts. That library almost ' haunts
me,' and I long to be where it is, or near it. . . . It does strike me forcibly
that it ought to be secured, and placed in connection with the ' Brethren's

School ' at this place. . . . This enterprise has in it the elements of success,
and must succeed under the blessings of God."a
He was truly a " pioneer educator " in his church and amongst his own
people. He regarded the founding of The Pilgrim at Marklesburg, Pa., in
1870, as a logical step toward the fulfillment of his cherished dream — his oft
repeated words were " Paper and advanced educational institution together at
Huntingdon."
" With singleness of purpose and a deep insight as to the future educa-
tional and other possibilities for the College and other associated Church
interests to be grouped together at Huntingdon, he steadily tried to influence
the opinions of the Church leaders and to lay deep the foundations for Juniata
College," &c.
Dr. Brumbaugh was baptized by " S. Lehman of Va., Sept. 7, 1853, in
Morrison's Cove, Blair Co., Pa., at the Clover Creek Ch.," having walked 12
miles across Tussey's mountain from his home to attend the then nearest
church. He continued actively in the work of the Church of the Brethren
(G. B. B.) throughout his life. At the time of his death he had been the only
secretary of " The Brethren (German Baptist) Church of Huntingdon, Pa."
..." which began its existence in 1876 with a membership of 8 persons,"
and was incorporated June 16, 1888.b
Dr. Brumbaugh similarly held the position of secretary of trustees of
Juniata College and served, with singleness and steadfastness of purpose, the
Normal Select School and each of its successors in title. Further details are
contained in the article upon Juniata College, immediately following this
biography.
For a number of years Dr. Brumbaugh was literary editor of The Pilgrim
and also of The Huntingdon Journal. He founded the Juniata Echo, in con-
nection with the other trustees of Juniata College, and was its editor, repre-
senting it in membership upon the Pa. State Educational Assn. His literary
activity also showed itself in various papers and addresses before medical,
literary and historical bodies.
That literary life led him to early attempt to trace his family origin, and
to make the investigations which secured early and important records, original
papers, and personal narratives by old people long since passed away. These
activities and his constant interest and encouragement have made possible
important parts of this publication, and materially helped to sustain the
•Letter of A. B. B. to Abraham H. Cassel, Oct. 17, '77.
bThe application for incorporation of the congregation is a beautiful piece of penmanship
by Dr. Brumbaugh, evidencing intense interest and devotion in the work, and for the present
is preserved by the compiler.

compiler in the persistent labors necessary to subsequently carry the work
to its present form.
" No doctor in this section of the State was a closer student and inves-
tigator than Dr. Brumbaugh. Though advanced in years, he was modern
and up-to-date in his work, the natural sequence of his close alliance with the
medical societies of the state and nation, whose meetings he regularly attended.
He was identified with the Huntingdon County Medical Society, which he
helped to organize in 1872 [pres., secy, and treas. at various times] ; member
of the State Medical Society ; the American Medical Association ; the National
Association of Railway Surgeons, and of the American Academy of Railway
Surgeons. He was a member of the pension examining board in Huntingdon
for nearly thirty years, and at the time of his death was the surgeon of the
Pennsylvania and Broad Top railroads at this point. He was the county
inspector of the State Board of Health and a member of the local board [as
also a member of the National Board of Health during its existence]. He was
the physician at the Orphans' Home for 27 years, and the bigness of his heart
is revealed from the fact that he served without any compensation whatever."3
He also assisted the late David Emmert," the founder of the said Orphans'
Home, and the originator of the " Huntingdon idea " in dealing with orphans,
in every manner possible and served continuously as a trustee — all the Hunt-
ingdon Brumbaughs have been closely connected with this work.
" Dr. Brumbaugh is highly esteemed not only for his professional ability,
but also for his public-spirited generosity and active interest in all movements
relative to the general improvement of the community in whose behalf he has
so industriously and effectively labored."
" Here for 42 years he has been going in and out of the homes of our
people, ministering alike to rich and poor, high and low, and winning fresh
laurels year after year, both for his well rounded ability and the persevering
industry he displayed in his professional life. He was equally successful in the
dual relation of physician and surgeon, which is uncommon."
"... Our remembrance of him will be of one who in all his relations
in life, both public and private, was the embodiment of loyalty and devotion."0
Jan. 21, 1908, Dr. and Mrs. Brumbaugh attended the annual meeting
of the Pa. State Ed. Assn. at Harrisburg. They returned to Huntingdon
next day, and the doctor at once started in his buggy to see patients. He
became sick with intense symptoms of appendicitis; went to bed; was taken to

Philadelphia for operation, and died there Jan. 27, 1908, " to the unfeigned
sorrow and regret of thousands who had the pleasure of his acquaintance."
Thus his oft expressed wish that he might " die in the professional harness "
was actually fulfilled. His body was tenderly laid away in Riverview Ceme-
tery, overlooking the center of much of his long years of faithful service. Such
a life is a continued blessing, and an inspiration.
A FEW RESOLUTIONS, EDITORIALS, ETC.
At a special meeting of the Huntingdon County Medical Society, Jan.
29, 1908, the following was ordered to be placed upon the minutes:
" In the death of Dr. Andrew B. Brumbaugh, who was one of the founders
and a member of the society since April 9, 1872, and its secretary for many
years, this society has sustained a great loss. He was rarely absent from
its meetings and was always willing to use his rich fund of experience and ripe
judgment in promoting the interests of the society and maintaining its dignity
and honor.
" F or forty-two years, by day and by night, in sunshine and storm, he
devoted his talents to the people of this community and ministered with great
medical and surgical skill to alleviate their sickness and suffering."
" The inadequacy of words forces itself upon us as we endeavor to speak
editorially by way of appreciation of our deceased Dr. A. B. Brumbaugh. He
was such an ardent spirit in his interest in everything that made for the advance-
ment of Juniata in general, and of The Echo in particular. The Echo was his
own creation ; and it seems such a strange coincidence that his death should
occur while the last Echo, containing just a little sketch of him, was being
published. Doctor had creative imagination, literary taste and style, insight
into human nature, sympathy to the extent of self-sacrifice ; devotion to home,
and friends, and profession, and church, and school, away beyond the ordinary ;
and a hearty good-cheer that made him always invigorating. He leaves a
great vacancy in the large community of which he was part ; and we can only
hope that those who take up the various lines of activity in .which he led shall
catch somewhat of inspiration from his resourceful personality. "a

EXTRACT FROM MINUTES OF TRUSTEES OF JUNIATA
COLLEGE, MARCH 3, 1908
" The Trustees of Juniata College in recording the death, January 27,
1908, of Dr. Andrew Boelus Brumbaugh, Secretary of the Board of Trustees,
unite in expressing their feeling of loss and sorrow in the removal from their
midst of one who had been a loyal and earnest co-worker in the cause of
Christian education.
" Dr. Brumbaugh was active in promoting and establishing the small
school which was opened April 17, 1876. From that date to the time of his
death he was Secretary of the governing body, or Trustees of the institution,
and its inner history is preserved in his handwriting. He was most faithful
in attendance upon meetings, even when held at hours which interferred with
his professional practice. His service as a Trustee was much more than per-
functory. As a close student of affairs, well read in different fields of study
and investigation, his views were progressive and often ahead of the times.
He suggested new activities and gave the enthusiasm of his own spirit to aid
any movement which counted for the development of the College.
" Dr. Brumbaugh also served as a member of the Faculty, giving his
time without remuneration, for lectures to the student body on Hygiene. In
this form of instruction he took special delight, and his practical work along
this line is well remembered by many who were under his tuition.
" As Editor of the Juniata Echo he performed a distinctive service to the
College, especially in maintaining an official organ for the institution in the
days when it was small. His pen was ready and high hopes were expressed
most confidently for the school to which he gave so much of his time and
thought.
" On the personal side Dr. Brumbaugh will be remembered best as the
College Physician, who ministered with skill and devotion to those who needed
his assistance. To natural acumen, and a thorough understanding of the science
of medicine, he added those qualities which made him quick to perceive the
source and nature of disease, and ready to adapt the remedy to the patient.
Joined to this professional skill were those personal traits of sympathy, and
solicitude which made one glad to go to him for medical advice.
" In recalling these services to the College and recording the loss which
it has suffered, the Trustees wish to add their word of sympathy for the imme-
diate family who have no more the companionship with one who possessed so

many splendid traits of heart and mind. May they enjoy the comforts and
blessings of Our Heavenly Father, who does all things well!

" In Dr. A. B. Brumbaugh we recognized a professional man of highest
rank, eminent as a surgeon and successful as a practitioner; a philanthropist
who gave of his professional and material means to those in need, without expec-
tation of reward; a useful, public-spirited citizen who always had the highest
welfare of the community at heart ; a devoted Trustee of Juniata College, tire-
lessly working for her growth in influence as a center of religious and intellec-
tual culture and power; a faithful member of the Brethren Church, discharging
his duties conscientiously throughout the years of his residence here ; and a man
of exceptional breadth of culture and depth of intellectual insight."
The Faculty of Juniata College, Feb. 6, 1908.
" Andrew Boelus5 Brumbaugh, M. D., Sec. of Board of Trustees, and
Lecturer on Hygiene, died on the 27 Jan., 1908, in the 72 year of his age.
Doctor Brumbaugh had been associated with the institution since its founding,
was one of its founders and as the first* of that group to settle in Huntingdon,
was the real pioneer in the idea of establishing a Brethren school in this com-
munity. The college was fortunate in having his counsel as a Trustee through
a period of 32 yrs. He was the creator of the Juniata Echo. He wrote with
enthusiasm about the work and ideals of the college, and continued as editor-
in-chief of the Echo close to the time of his death. By many he is remembered
because of his gifts as a physician and surgeon, as well as for the attractive-
ness of his personality. In the study and practice of medicine he was progres-
sive and constantly kept in touch with the learned societies of his profession.
To professional skill he added a fine literary and artistic taste. He was inde-
pendent in thought, quick in judgment, and candid in expression. A man of
such varied interests and abilities is a valuable factor in the development of
an educational institution, and his direct personal influence is remembered with
appreciation by those who gained inspiration from his life of friendly service."3
" I knew and admired this friend for his love of family and home, for his
pride in his profession and the high place he held in it ; for his wonderful inter-

est and solicitude for the poor, especially the orphaned poor of our town ; for
his veneration of his Church and his devotion to it ; and lastly for his sincere
and untiring efforts for the success and upbuilding of Juniata College."*
Mrs. Brumbaugh desired to live in close association with the projects so
dear to her late husband, and purchased a lot facing the campus of Juniata
College and the new stone church erected therein, and in 1911 moved into her
new residence located at 1618 Moore St., Huntingdon, Pa.

BRUMBACH FAMILIES
JUNIATA COLLEGE— MOVEMENTS LEADING TO
ITS FOUNDING
" During the early years of the existence of the Brethren Church
(G. B. B.) in this country the membership was generally opposed to education,
in the belief that it tended to ' worldly mindedness,' and led away from the
' simplicity of the gospel ' ; but in later years a strong sentiment grew up in
favor of a more liberal education than the public schools afforded, and there
were those in the church who felt that schools should be organized by the
Brethren, and under their control, where the children of the fraternity and
others, the young of both sexes, could receive an education free from the con-
taminating influences of fashionable life, and surrounded by such influences as
would not prejudice their minds against any of the doctrines of the Bible. "a
A b rief summary of the principal pioneer, denominational educational
movements preceding the establishment of Juniata College is herewith given to
show the conditions and surroundings of its inception and development.
In 1834 James Quinter began teaching a school at Lumberville, Mont-
gomery Co., Pa., in a building also used for church purposes. In March, 1856,
he published a letter in the Gospel Visitor urging the need of higher Church
education.
" Sister Sarah Douglass, James Quinter, and Jacob Miller had established
select schools confined to the English branches and common grade and a large
number of our prominent elders and ministers had taught in the common schools
previous to the beginning of this period, but not until April 1, 1861, had any
member of the Church of the Brethren (G. B. B.) attempted to establish an
institution in which was taught Latin, Greek, higher mathematics and ad-
vanced sciences."
" Kishacoquillas Seminary was located about twenty-two miles south-east
of Huntingdon, Pa., the seat of Juniata College. This Seminary was built by
the Presbyterians in a strong, wealthy Presbyterian community and was well
patronized from the beginning, but for some cause it failed financially three
times during six years, and then was sold by the sheriff and bought by Solomon
Zug Sharp. On April 1, 1861, the school was opened under the principalship
of a brother, with thirty-six students which number was soon increased to
seventy-two." ..." The facts are it continued for seventeen years and
until the Brethren's Normal College at Huntingdon was firmly established."
" In October, 1861, six months after the opening of the school at Kisha-
coquillas, James Quinter began his first session at the academy in New Vienna,
"A. B. B. in History of Huntingdon and Blair Counties, Penna. — Africa, 1883, pp. 465-468.

Ohio. He saw the advantage of such a school to the Church of the Brethren to
save many of our most talented young men to the church," etc.
" The school was closed June 27, 1864, on account of the disturbed con-
dition of the country caused by the War of the Rebellion."51
Bourbon, Ind., brethren attempted to purchase Salem College about 1870,
but for various reasons the project failed.
In 1872 an unsuccessful attempt was made to establish a school at Berlin,
Pa., and the late Elder Henry R. Holsinger was a prominent factor in the same.
" In 1874 Elder Lewis Kimmel, assisted by Howard Miller, began a school
in the Plum Creek meetinghouse, one mile from Eld&rton, Pa. He gave to the
institution the name of Plum Creek Normal School. Only three students were
enrolled the first day, but the two principals were accomplished teachers and the
school soon gained a large patronage, and in the spring of 1875 had an enroll-
men of about one hundred, a large proportion of whom were teachers and those
preparing to teach. The character of the school was maintained on a high
moral and religious plane. Its unfavorable location and opposition induced
the friends of the school to abandon it at the end of four years."
BRETHREN'S NORMAL COLLEGE
" Dr. A. B. Brumbaugh, H. B. Brumbaugh, J. B. Brumbaugh and J. M.
Zuck were the promoters of the project which resulted in establishing what is
now Juniata College. "b
In March, 1876, at a conference between Elder Henry Boyer5 Brum-
baugh [E276] and John Boyer5 Brumbaugh [E278], then publishers of The
Pilgrim, in Huntingdon . . . and Dr. Andrew Boelus5 Brumbaugh [E226],
their cousin, of the same place, while discussing the school projects and their
prospects, the doctor, who had the possibility of establishing a school at
Huntingdon in prospect for years,0 proposed that " while they are asking for
an endowment fund at Berlin, and trying to sell scholarships at Plum Creek, we
start a school here, and ask for students only, and do such work that the school
will commend itself." This was nobly seconded by the others, one offering to
board the teacher " free if need be " ( J. B. B.), and the other to " furnish the
room" (H. B. B.). (A. B. B. was to " furnish the students and some furni-
ture.") John Boyer5 Brumbaugh [E278] was designated to correspond with
Jacob Martin Zuck of Clay Lick, Pa., who was known to him as a young man

of more than ordinary ability in teaching, and by them thought to be the
proper man for the place, and who was looking for just such an opportunity,
and full of the spirit of the work, and who proved to be the efficient pioneer of
a work fraught with so much of importance to the future of the church and its
doctrines. He was secured and accordingly, on the 17th day of April, 1876, the
school was opened in a room in the Pilgrim building (since the Primitive Chris-
tian), owned by Elder H. B. Brumbaugh [E276], who did very much to the
further success of the enterprise by his liberality and enterprise, and from the
election of the " temporary trustees " to the present (1912) has been president
of the board of trustees.
The following interesting announcement appeared :
" NORMAL SELECT SCHOOL
" The undersigned will open a normal select school in the Pilgrim building,
Huntingdon, Pa. The school year will consist of four terms of eleven weeks
each, beginning April 17, Sept. 4, Nov. 20, 1876, and Feb. 12, 1877.
" The patronage of all is solicited. Special attention given to those de-
siring to teach. For further particulars address
J. M. Zuck, Huntingdon, Pa."
" The school opened with three students in attendance : Miss Rebecca
Cornelius, of Shirleysburg, Pa. (nee Black) ; Miss Maggie D. Miller (nee
Campbell), and Gaius M.6 Brumbaugh [E743] of Huntingdon. By the close
of the first term the number of students had reached seventeen, and at the
opening of the fall term it was found necessary to provide more room for the
accommodation of the increasing number of students attracted by the popu-
larity of the school, and the large building, No. 1224 Washington Street, was
secured and occupied until its overcrowding demanded still greater facilities."
" On the 27th day of January, 1877, steps were taken toward the erection
of a suitable building to accommodate the increasing patronage, and to estab-
lish the school on a permanent basis. A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions, etc. The committee consisted of Elder James Quinter, Dr. Andrew
B. Brumbaugh [E226], and Professor Jacob Martin Zuck, and reported the
following:

EDUCATIONAL
HUNTINGDON NORMAL SCHOOL
We, the committee appointed at a school meeting of the brethren, at Huntingdon, Pa.,
January 27th, 1877, to draft resolutions, etc., report the following:
Whereas, the subject of Education has been before the fraternity of the Brethren tor a
number of years, and many have felt the need of a school surrounded by the proper moral
influences; and, whereas, brother J. M. Zuck has opened a school in the town of Huntingdon,
Pa known as the Huntingdon Normal School, which has met with encouragement and has
awakened a decided interest on the part of brethren and others, and apparently only needs
better accommodations to make it a complete success; and, whereas, all acknowledge Hunting-
don to be a good location for a school such as we need, in order that we may retain, develop
and utilize the talent that otherwise might be lost to the church; therefore
Resolved (1), That we will make an effort to raise the necessary funds to establish an
educational institution in the town of Huntingdon, Pa., and that to this end we will respect-
fully but earnestly solicit the co-operation and assistance of our brethren and others friendly
to the cause. ,
Resolved (2), That we commend to the serious and prayerful consideration ot our breth-
ren the educational project set on foot by the brethren in the aforesaid town of Huntingdon,
and appeal to all who can do so, to lend a helping hand in the way of donating or subscribing
to the fund to be known as the " Huntingdon School Fund."
Resolved (3), That although we shall aim to get as many of the brethren as possible
interested in this enterprise, yet we approach all such brethren in an individual rather than
in a church capacity, and hence this measure ought to be regarded as a private or individual
enterprise, and concerns only those who are, or may become, friendly to the cause.
Resolved (4), That the brethren who have inaugurated this movement, residing in the
town of Huntingdon, be and are hereby constituted a Board of temporary Trustees, who
shall elect their own officers, appoint a general agent or solicitor, and take such other steps
as may be necessary in order to carry out the work in which they have engaged.
Resolved (5), That the Temporary Trustees of the Huntingdon School Fund and the
subscribers and donors to said fund enter into the following articles of agreement:
ARTICLE I DESIGN.
The design of this Fund shall be to establish a school or institution of learning that will
provide the young of both sexes with such educational advantages as will fit them for the
duties and responsibilities of life, and more especially to secure these advantages to the youth
of our own fraternity at such a place and surrounded by such influences as will not prejudice
their minds against any of the doctrines of the Bible, as believed and practiced by the
Brethren.
ARTICLE II. BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
A Board of nine Trustees, all of whom shall be brethren, and at least five of whom shall
reside in the vicinity of the school and constitute a quorum, shall be elected by and from
among the stockholders, each share of $100 entitling the holder to one vote. The first election
shall be held at such a place and time as may be agreed upon by the Temporary I rustees, at
which election three members shall be elected for three years, three for two, and three for
one year, according to the respective number of votes, those receiving the greatest number of
votes to serve the longest periods of time. After the first year, elections shall be held at\nuallv
or as often as may be necessary in order to fill vacancies, and the brethren thus elected shall
serve for a period of three years and shall be subject to re-election at the pleasure of the
stockholders. Said Board of Trustees shall have discretionary powers in all that pertains to
the welfare of the school; and the duties of its members shall be the same as are generally
required of such officers in similar institutions.
ARTICLE III. — MANNER OF RAISING FUNDS.
The Temporary Trustees shall appoint a brother as general agent and solicitor whose
duty it shall be, in connection with such sub-agents as may be appointed by him, to secure
a sufficient amount of subscriptions and donations to enable the Trustees to carry out the
design specified in Art. I.
ARTICLE IV. — DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS.
Section 1.— All stock-subscriptions shall be applied to the purchase of a plot of ground
and the erection thereupon of suitable buildings, said ground and buildings to be the property
534
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
of the stockholders, and in the event of sale the proceeds thereof shall revert to said stock-
holders.
Section 2. — All donations shall be known as the stock of the school, and, unless otherwise
ordered by the doners or the Board of Trustees, shall be applied to the providing of the
above named buildings with the necessary furniture, books, apparatus, etc., all of which
articles shall be the property of the school, and shall be under the care and supervision of
the Principal; and, moreover, all dividends and proceeds accruing from the aforesaid dona-
tions shall be applied to the up-building of the school, or to the promotion of the cause of
education in such other ways as may be agreed upon by the Principal and the Board of
Trustees.
ARTICLE V.- — OBLIGATION.
The following obligation shall head all lists of subscriptions or donations:
We, the undersigned subscribers [or doners] to the Huntingdon School Fund, agree to
pay the several sums opposite our respective names, one half to be paid on demand of the
chief solicitor for said fund, and the other half within six months from the first payment.
Resolved (6), That the original subscription lists, with a transcript of the same alpha-
betically arranged, and a copy of these resolutions, together with a record of the Temporary
Trustees, and of other matters of importance, connected with the founding of the school be
kept in its archives for use and reference in the future.
Respectfully submitted.

The foregoing report being approved) at a meeting of the Brethren at Huntingdon, Pa.,
February 2nd, 1877, and sanctioned at a council meeting of the Brethren in the James Creek
congregation, Huntingdon county, Pa., February 3rd, 1877, the following brethren, according
to the resolution, are constituted a Board of Temporary Trustees:

Although admission to the school was from the start free to the members
of every, or even no, religious denomination ; yet, because of the real purpose
of its founding and in spite of the indifference and even opposition of Brethren
in certain quarters, students were enrolled from eastern Pennsylvania, Mary-
land, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri. During the winter
of 1877 the school disbanded on account of the smallpox plague that visited
Huntingdon in that year, and during the " scare " three' students3 from Ohio
took refuge at " The Forge," or " Orphan's Retreat," on Trough Creek,b
about five miles south from Marklesburg, Huntingdon Co., Pa.
" Regular hours of study were observed, and so, it may be said, this little
upper room in the wilderness is the link that unites the broken chain in Juniata's
history. In the intervals of study and work the boys explored the wild ro-
mantic region round about. For nearly two months they were thus exiled. . . .
" One day they were surprised by a sledding party from town, which came
with plenty of good things for the occasion and some to spare. It may be

intensely interesting work which may be purchased from Juniata College, for additional facts.

interesting to note that here came a youth betimes to spend nights with the
boys. He was acquainted with all that rugged region, and led them on many
an excursion up the slippery glens and over the mountain tops. His father
([E225] George Boyer5 Brumbaugh) was owner of thousands of acres of this
untamed country and many summer days he spent lumbering hereabouts. Prob-
ably, he here, too, caught the flavor of school life, for when the boys returned
in the early spring there was one new student registered whose life from that
time forward has been associated with the life of Juniata. We called him then
' M. G.,' but now everybody calls him ' Dr. M. G.' " ( [E682] Martin Grove6
Brumbaugh) .
In further description of " The Forge Country,"3 I quote:
" The pure blue of the sky — for one seemed to be looking from the deep
casement of a window which shut off all surrounding objects — never seemed so
blue before. The rich green of pine and hemlock that crowned and festooned
hill and peak, and the merry rush and gurgle of the stream, whose course was
one succession of cascades through the entire length of the gorge, appealed to
nature-loving souls and compensated for the loss of human companionship.
. At the foot of the highest peak we were shown the cave where ice is
found in midsummer and from which a cool current of air constantly flows.
The lichens and liverworts clung to the rocks in rich profusion, and, had we
known it, a genuine arctic flora might have been found. A quick run up the
stream brought us to ' Wild Cat ' or ' Abbotts Run,' a rocky canon almost
terrifying in its wildness. We followed ' Laurel Run,' where speckled trout
flitted like sunbeams in the crystal pools, and returning crossed a spur of the
ridge and entered a little cove called ' The Kettle ' from its peculiar shape as
seen from the cliff beyond the creek."
" When the smallpox scourge came, and it became necessary to close the
school, it was a question in the minds of some of us whether it could ever be
revived again. But not so in the mind of Prof. Zuck. Some thought all hope
for the school was gone. I said to him, as the students were leaving: ' Well,
if there is no hope at all, I suppose we must stop.' ' Stop ! No ! ' said he, ' we
commenced this work as an experiment and nothing less than death itself wdl
stop me, and if I should be stricken and die, I hope some others will have the
courage to take up the work and continue it.' "b
" When the last smallpox sign disappeared ' the refugees ' returned and
the school was reopened. By April first all the members of the faculty were

at their posts. Many of the old students came back, and a surprisingly large
number of new ones were enrolled."*
" In the first catalogue, published in the spring of 1878, seven teachers
constitute the faculty, and the names of one hundred and seventy-two students
are recorded, most of them taking the ' Normal English Course,' although
Music and Art are emphasized, and a ' College Course ' of four years is out-
lined as an indication of the high aims of the ' Founders.' The school year
consisted of forty-eight weeks divided into four terms, the ' Institute Term '
of six weeks beginning July 22nd."b
" A beautiful site, consisting of an entire block of lots on an elevated
portion of the borough of Huntingdon, . . . was purchased by the Board
of Trade and donated to the trustees for the use of the school. The building
(' Founders Hall ') was completed in the winter of 1878-'79 and was first occu-
pied for the spring term of 1879. A charter of incorporation was granted by
the court Nov. 18, 1878 . . . under the name of Brethrens Normal College."
The petition for this incorporation was signed by James Quinter, Henry
Boyer Brumbaugh [E276], Jacob Martin Zuck, John Boyer Brumbaugh
[E278], Andrew Boelus Brumbaugh, M. D. [E226], Samuel E. Henry, A. H.
Hight, and Buchanan & Son.
" The school was commenced as a private enterprise, under Professor
Jacob M. Zuck, who soon found it necessary to associate with himself other
teachers. Miss Phoebe W. Weakley was the first assistant, then Professor
Jacob H.5 Brumbaugh [E232], and these three formed the first faculty as
elected by the temporary trustees, Feb. 28, 1879, when Professor Jacob M.
Zuck was elected president and principal and Professor Jacob H. Brumbaugh
[E232] secretary. Other teachers, and for different departments, were se-
cured from time to time as required among whom was David Emmert,0 the
artist, and founder of the Orphan's Home " (who long was a member of the

aged thirty-three years, from pneumonia, sincerely lamented by all who knew
him, having accomplished a work and erected a monument more lasting in the
perpetuation of his memory than tablets of stone. His was a pure life, devoted
to the best interests of humanity and the cause of the Great Master, who will
own his work."

1879, Elder James Quinter was elected president of the college . . . and
Professor Jacob H. Brumbaugh [E232] was elected principal to fill the place
made vacant by the death of Professor Zuck, and which position he held until
the office of principal was abolished in 1881, when he was elected secretary of
the institution, and still remains a valued member of the faculty."
" In the spring of 1878 Joseph W. Beer removed from Huntingdon and
Elder William J. Swigart was elected to fill his place on the board of tem-
porary trustees, and still forms one of the business quorum of the regular
board, which consists of Elder Henry Boyer Brumbaugh, president ; Dr. An-
drew Boelus Brumbaugh," secretary ; Elder James Quinter,6 John Boyer Brum-
baugh, and Elder Wm. J. Swigart, treasurer and member of the faculty. The
board of trustees has been increased by the charter to fifteen, five of whom are
elected annually."
" From the opening of the school it has been highly successful, and has
had among its patrons earnest young men and women from a majority of the
States of the Union and the foreign countries of Denmark and Mexico. The
first class that was graduated from a Brethren's school was at the commence-
ment, July 3, 1879, when the degree of Bachelor in English was conferred upon
M. Linnie Bosserman of Polo, Mo., Phebe R. Norris of Gettysburg, Pa., and
Gaius M.6 Brumbaugh [E743] + of Huntingdon." . . .
" In the decade of 1880-1890 the school became rather intensive than ex-
tensive in its growth. The Summer Institute Term was dropped in 1880. The
Normal Department received most attention, though there were three gradu-
ates in the Scientific Course.
" In 1881-'82-'83 Prof. William J. Swigart and Prof. L. S. Shimmel were
chairmen of the faculty successively, and Prof. Jacob H. Brumbaugh, secre-
tary, Prof. Brumbaugh taking the chairmanship again in 1883 and holding
that position until the death of President Quinter in 1889, when he again
became Principal, the office of President being filled until 1894 by Elder Henry
Boyer Brumbaugh. During these years and up to the present time Prof.
Swigart was Treasurer and Prof. Joseph E. Saylor was Secretary, and also
Librarian until 1904. In the list of regular members of the faculty for 1882-'83
appears the name of Prof. J. B. Kidder, long known in Huntingdon as a pro-
found scholar. He taught the Ancient Languages. Dr. Martin G. Brum-
baugh, after having completed the Normal English Course in 1882, appears
as a member of the faculty teaching English and Natural Science in 1882-'83,
in 1885 as a graduate of the Scientific Course, and again in 1889-'90-'91 as

teacher of Natural Sciences, Pedagogics, and English until he began his uni-
versity career. Prof. Frank H. Green, now of West Chester State Normal
School, was head of the department of English, from the spring of 1884 until
the end of the school year, 1888.
" The Alumni Association was formally organized in 1887. Dr. Andrew
B. Brumbaugh and his son, Dr. Gaius M. Brumbaugh, of Washington, D. C,
were particularly active in developing the library and the museum, the latter
arranging with the U. S. government to constitute Juniata College one of
the Congressional depositories of her numerous publications. The Bible De-
partment was established in 1889, a one and a two year course being offered.
During these years from 1880 to 1890 the total number of students yearly
enrolled numbered about two hundred and fifty.
" The steady growth of the institution now demanded more room, and
Ladies' Hall was built in 1890-'91. Mr. John G. Keeney became steward, and
the number of students and teachers became noticeably larger. Prof. G. W.
Snavely was formally installed as Principal of the newly organized Business
Department. The first special Bible Term, held ever since during the winter
for popular Bible study, was opened in 1892. To the Department of Vocal
Music, which Prof. William Beery had been conducting since 1880, was added
a teacher in piano-forte. Prof. David Emmert, who had been an early pro-
moter of the institution and one of its most earnest teachers, but who because
of his interest in the care for orphans had been absent for several years, re-
turned to the Faculty as teacher of Art and Botany, in 1894.
" The Oriental and Wahneeta Literary Societies were organized, instead
of the one Eclectic Society, in the Spring of 1892.
" In the winter of 1893-'9i, Dr. Martin Grove Brumbaugh returned to his
Alma Mater as its President. Very soon the institution began to plan for
definite work along higher lines. A number of " post graduates," as they were
called, returned and began to line up for the four years Classical Course and
the A. B. degree. The Normal English Course was freely sprinkled with
' electives ' in order to furnish opportunity for definite preparation for col-
lege. A large class of ' Special Students in Literature ' entered from the town.
And the enthusiasm for larger things took definite shape in a new building
largely contributed to by students and now known as ' Student's Hall.' An
amended charter was secured in 1896, and the name 'Juniata College' was
adopted.
"For the year 1896-'97 it was announced that Dr. Martin G. Brum-
baugh, who had already begun some teaching in the University of Pennsylvania,
would permanently reside in Philadelphia, and that Prof. I. Harvey Brum-
JOHANNES HENRICH BRUMBACH AND HIS DESCENDANTS
539
baugh would perform the active administrative duties of President Brum-
baugh's office. In June, 1897, the first student was graduated from the course
in Arts, receiving the degree of A. B. Since then there have regularly been
graduates in this course. In 1896-'97 the idea of larger scope in the work of
the institution took shape in the form of a two years' Seminary Course, from
which there was one graduate in 1900. This course was combined in 1900-'01
with the College Preparatory Course, which had first been offered in 1883-'84<
and again in 1898-'99, and called the four years Academy Course. The student
body continually increased and Oneida Hall was built in 1898. In 1899 the
Athletic Field was purchased. In 1901, at the twenty-fifth anniversary, an
especially large number of old students, friends, and Alumni were present for
Commencement Week, the exercises being held in the unfinished Gymnasium,
which building was built in response to the intensity of student interest and
substantial aid. This period of Juniata's history is also marked by the devel-
opment of many features of College life on the one hand and still more
especially by the introduction of the more distinctively scholarly features of
the courses and the instruction. The Juniata Echo, established, first of all, by
Dr. Andrew B. Brumbaugh as a quarterly and later developed into a monthly,
reflects the literary temper of these and later years. A quarterly Bulletin,
edited by Acting-President Prof. I. Harvey Brumbaugh, publishes special
lectures, sermons, addresses and theses.
" With the erection of the Library, gift of Andrew Carnegie, upon
grounds donated by citizens of Huntingdon, 1906-'07, the latest, and promis- *
ing-to-be-most-extensive epoch in the history of Juniata College begins. The
building of this structure enlarged the horizon of the institution's possibilities
so greatly that steps were soon taken to amend the charter, looking toward
a wider educational field. In pursuance of this ideal, all stockholders freely
surrendered their private holdings and a self-perpetuating board of Trustees
was constituted, still morally in sympathy with the high purpose of serving the
Dunker Brethren educationally, but also free to work in a larger field of use-
fulness. Already grounds have been secured nearby on which to establish the
College proper, leaving the old seat more particularly for the Preparatory
Schools. Plans are being drawn and grounds laid out in view of this extensive
purpose. Meanwhile the building of a new Church building has been com-
pleted, a Summer Session has been re-introduced, the scope of the Bible work
has been enlarged by offering a regular Theological Course leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Divinity.
" The institution now enrolls over four hundred students yearly. The
faculty numbers twenty-two teachers. Six regular departments present gradu-

ates yearly, the College, the Academy, the Teachers' School, the Bible
School, the Music School, and the Business School. The Alumni Association,
exclusive of the Business graduates, numbers over five hundred. Nearly five
thousand different students have registered since the founding. The College
buildings and grounds, surrounded as they are by the homes of trustees, faculty
members and friends of the institution, constitute one of the most attractive
sections of the town of Huntingdon. "a
The endowment funds amount to over one hundred and eighty thousand
dollars, and an earnest effort is being made to materially increase the same.
A Science Hall, with lecture rooms and ample laboratories, is also planned for
the immediate future.
After several years of successful experience as acting president, I. Harvey6
Brumbaugh [E892] + was elected by the trustees as president of the College
from July 1, 1911.

26, 1869.a
The following extract from the diary of his brother [E226] Andrew B.3
Brumbaugh, M. D., is of interest, pertaining to his m, March 17, 1864 to
Hannah Faulkender:
" In the evening cousin Isaac and Priscilla S. came over to father's to go
with Abraham as his waiters tomorrow." . . . (Wed., March 16, 1864).
" Abraham started about 4^4 hr. with Isaac and Priscilla ... to go over
the mountain to get married." . . . (Thurs., March 17, 1864). "This
morning we were all busy in preparation for the reception of Bro. Abraham
and his wife Hannah, with their company. At 7% hr. they arrived, Abraham
and wife, Isaac and Priscilla, and Samuel Faulkender and his lady, Miss Mary
Cowen. Robert (Mason [E228]) and I attended with cake, &c, &c. I carved
and waited on the table, &c. In the evening the serenaders came. Abraham
took Miss Cowen and went out, Hannah remaining in the house. All passed off
very pleasantly." (March 18, 1864).
Abraham5 was a careful and successful farmer of the old homestead farm,
and amongst other things gave much attention to replenishing the large
orchard with fine fruit trees. The compiler recalls often seeing his carefully
drawn map showing the variety and location of each fruit tree, and also vividly
remembers the joys of that orchard — probably in common with many readers
of this paragraph.
The agreement for the purchase and occupancy of the farm is given in
full under the biographical sketch of [E68] -j- Jacob4 Brumbaugh.

foresight and business tact ; and to him is due not a little credit for the finan-

FORT HARTSOG (" HARTSOCK ")°
" This fort was erected for a defence of the settlers in Woodcock Valley
about 1778, when a number of other minor forts were built at or about the
same time in Huntingdon County. It is near Marklesburg on the Broad Top
Railroad, in Penn township. Dr. John H. Wintrode kindly took the writer to
the site of the fort and we found that it was located on a high brow of a hill
on the farm now owned by David B. Brumbaugh [E274], about one hundred
and fifty feet east of a public road leading from Marklesburg to Huntingdon.

There is not a vestige of the fort left to mark the place. Tradition places it
upon the highest point of Brumbaugh's farm. In appearance the site was the
most commanding in Woodcock Valley, as one can have an uninterrupted view
in all directions from this point of location. The writer was unable to learn
that it had ever been used for any other purpose than to harbor the settlers.
" This fort was located on the old Indian path coming from the eastward
through the Tuscarora Valley, Aughwick, Woodcock Valley, to Hollidaysburg
and to Kittanning Point. Being on this commercial highway to the westward,
the track pursued by the traveler in early times, when in quest of a home west
of the Alleghenies, it is likely that its importance to the settler, the soldier, the
adventurer, in fact to all who were arrayed against the red man, was of such
a character as to entitle it now to some memorial stone which shall preserve
its history."
Nov., 1910, George4 Garner [E18-v] told the compiler that this fort stood
on the highest part of the orchard upon the Frank farm, as above noted.

of the promoters and assistant editor of the Pilgrim, being associated with his

[E276] HENRY BOYER5 BRUMBAUGH ( [E69] John4, same ances-
try as [E273]) b April 1, 1836, in Penn Twp., Huntingdon Co., Pa. He spent
his boyhood days on the farm along the Raystown Branch of the Juniata
River; attended the public schools and Williamsburg Academy and the Cass-
ville Seminary, and studied Greek, etc., at Juniata College; he farmed for a
number of years and feels that the work was successful and congenial ; taught
9 years in the public schools of Huntingdon Co. ; was baptized into the G. B. B.
Ch. June 15, 1856 ; was called to the ministry of this denomination June 24,
1864, and preached his first sermon from John 11 :25, on Aug. 14, 1864. In
1889 he was ordained elder and has since been in charge of the Huntingdon
Church of the Brethren. Sept. 20, 1860, he m Susan Fink Peightal, b Oct. 1,
1841, dau of Isaac and Elizabeth (Fink) Peightal, of the same county — orig-
inal name Beightel. She was also a faithful, devoted and active worker in
G. B. B. Ch., and died Jan. 22, 1904 ; her body was laid to rest in Riverview
cemetery at Huntingdon.
In 1869 Henry Boyer5 Brumbaugh and his brother [E278] John Boyer5
Brumbaugh were led to leave the farm and go to " town " to begin the pub-
lication of a religious paper along certain distinct lines, and for which they
and their advisers felt there was a distinct need. From their residence in
Marklesburg, Huntingdon Co., Pa., to the present little can be said of the
activities, sacrifices and devotions of the one which does not apply to the other
of these " Brumbaugh Bros."
" Today at 4th hr. we had a council meeting for the purpose of trying
to finally settle the matter with reference to Bro. George, and then to have a
choice for another one for speaker. The voices were taken by which it was
decided to put him in the office to which he had been elected. The voice was
then taken for a speaker and it fell on Cousin Henry. They — Geo., Henry
and Susan — were all received by the members. A little special service was held
after which we parted . . . Cousin Isaac with us."a

" January 1, 1870, the first number of The Pilgrim was published. This
was an eight page weekly, the same size of the Christian Family Companion,
edited and published by Henry B. and John B. Brumbaugh, with Elder George
Brumbaugh [E275] as associate editor, with its office at James Creek, Pa., at
one dollar a year." . . . (See photographic reproduction of circular.)
" While it was aggressive and always stood on the side of liberal views,
it did it in a way not to arouse antagonism or to engender strife among the
church people (G. B. B.), and, because of this milder position, it was well
received and soon gained a very encouraging circulation. At the beginning of
the second year it was enlarged to sixteen pages and the price per year was
raised to one dollar and twenty-five cents. "a
The publication office of The Pilgrim was removed to Huntingdon, Pa., in
the fall of 1874, and located in a large brick building erected by Henry Boyer5
Brumbaugh at 14th and Washington Sts. He also removed his family at the
same time. Andrew Boelus5 Brumbaugh, M. D. [E226], their cousin, had
been identified with The Pilgrim as literary editor and urged the removal of the
publishing interests and families to Huntingdon. He superintended the erec-
tion of this building, which at once became home for the family of Henry
Boyer5 Brumbaugh, its owner, " chapel " for the little Huntingdon Church,
chapel and home for the Brethren's Normal and Collegiate Institute, and home
for The Pilgrim.
"Jan. 7, 1876, the first number of The Young Disciple was issued, a
sixteen page monthly, but printed in four parts so as to make a paper for each
week. It was published at Huntingdon, Pa., by Henry B. and John B. Brum-
baugh, and edited by sister Wealthy A. Clark. This was intended for Sunday
school use and weekly distribution, and steadily grew in circulation until 1880,
" when it was consolidated with Our Sunday School, a paper prepared more
especially for our Sunday school by Eld. S. Z. Sharp and published at Ash-
land, O." In 1881 The Young Disciple was again published at Huntingdon,
Pa., and edited in the main by Henry B. Brumbaugh. In 1882 The Youth's
Advance was absorbed giving " a consolidation of all the juvenile papers then
published by the church."
The Golden Dawn, a 32 page religious and educational monthly maga-
zine, was published by the " Brumbaugh Bros." (H. B. & J. B.) at Hunting-
don, Pa., at $1.00 per year and edited by Henry Boyer5 Brumbaugh, and
Wealthy A. Clark. It continued for one year.
The Vindicator, an 8 page monthly, was started by Eld. Samuel Kinsey
[E60-i], assisted by the advice and counsel of brethren Peter Nead [E60-i],

Daniel Miller, Abram Flory, Daniel P. Saylor, Daniel Brower and others," — ■
published at Dayton, 0., at $1 per year and beginning March 1, 1870.
" Oct. 31, 1876, a consolidation was effected between the Primitive Chris-
tian and The Pilgrim, the one side of the combined paper being set in type
at Myersdale (Somerset Co., Pa.), the former home of the Primitive Christian,
and then removed to Huntingdon, the home of The Pilgrim, where the other
side was set up and then published as the Primitive Christian and Pilgrim.
After this combination, Huntingdon was made the place of publication of the
consolidated paper, on account of being a larger place and of its offering more
advantages for business, railroad conveniences and mailing facilities. This
also necessitated Eld. James Quinter and family and Eld. Joseph W. Beer and
family to move to Huntingdon (Oct. 1876), where Eld. Quinter continued to
live up to the time of his decease. "a The firm name of the publishers and book-
binders was changed to " Quinter and Brumbaugh Bros." Eld. James Quinter
died while upon his knees in public prayer at " Annual Meeting " (G. B. B.),
North Manchester, Ind., May 19, 1888.
"THE BRETHREN (GERMAN BAPTIST) CHURCH OF
HUNTINGDON, PA."
This congregation is now called " The Church of the Brethren," Hunting-
don, Pa. Its beginning in a room 16 x 60 ft. in the building erected and owned
by Eld. Henry Boyer5 Brumbaugh has alread been noted. He recently wrote :b
" In Huntingdon, at this time (1874), were only four members of the Brethren
Church, Dr. A. B. Brumbaugh [E226] +, now of precious memory, his good
wife, and two others [David Denizer and wife]. The church room was dedi-
cated June 20, 1875.
" The application for incorporation was signed May 10, 1888, in the
order given, by: Elders James Quinter, Henry Boyer5 Brumbaugh [E276],
William J. Swigart, John Boyer5 Brumbaugh [E278], and Joseph E. Saylor,
Lizzie B. Howe, Ida M. Pecht, Mrs. Wm. J. Swigart, Mrs. D. C. Burkholder,

Brumbaugh [E226] and Maria Frank Brumbaugh, his wife, and David Y.
Swayne. This charter was granted June 16, 1888."c

cated Dec. 11, 1910 (sermon by Martin Grove6 Brumbaugh [E682]). At
that time 724 members had been baptized, 30 men had been called to the min-
istry, and 11 foreign missionaries had been sent out in the Master's work.
(Illustration.)
" We find a little company of brethren and sisters here who are not only
endeavoring to be faithful, but who seem to be laboring to grow in grace and in
the knowledge of the truth. We trust this little church, the members of which
frequently come together, in a room in our office prepared for the purpose, to
do as the faithful of old did— to speak ' often one to another,' about the Lord
and the ' things which concern salvation,' will form a nucleus around which
many will be drawn, and from the body thus formed a Christian influence go
out that may be widely felt."a
" Though the Normal (later Juniata College) had a small beginning, yet
the fervent prayers and earnest zeal of the brave, true hearts interested in her
welfare soon had their reward in her growth and prosperity."b
June 24, 1864, Henry Boyer Brumbaugh was elected to the ministry, and
from his early activities in organizing the Huntingdon Church, immediately
after removal thereto in Dec, 1875, throughout his ministry and eldership in
charge (following the death of Eld. James Quinter, in 1888) he has been most
faithful in all of the Master's work. During the construction of the new
church building he was constantly present overseeing the progress of the work.
The Primitive Christian of June 19, 1883, announced its consolidation
with the Brethren at Work under the title " The Gospel Messenger, published
at Mt. Morris, 111., and Huntingdon, Pa., with Eld. Jas. Quinter, Chief Editor ;
John H. Moore, Office Editor; Henry Boyer Brumbaugh, Eastern Editor;
and Joseph Amick as Business Manager."0 This consolidation of publishing
interests led to the formation of the present large Brethren Publishing House,
Elgin, 111., which amongst its extensive Church publishing interests continues
the weekly issuance of The Gospel Messenger with Henry Boyer Brumbaugh
as one of its three Corresponding Editors, he thus being in continuous, active
editorial work on a G. B. B. paper since 1870.
" Elder Henry Boyer Brumbaugh, who many years ago started life as a
farmer, was destined to become a preacher, a printer, an editor, a teacher, and
a college president. He enjoyed the advantages of the common schools of
his boyhood days, and further enriched his mind at Williamsburg Academy and

at Cassville Seminary ... As a man of mature judgment, wise counsels,
and a philanthropic heart, he is held in high esteem by those who have learned
to know and to love him. Elder H. B. has been intimately related to the edu-
cational work here from the very start, having been the first and only presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees — a position, if less prominent, surely not less
important than that of the presidency of the college. After the death of
Elder James Quinter (May 19, 1888), Elder H. B. Brumbaugh became presi-
dent also of the college, and so remained until the election of Dr. Martin Grove
Brumbaugh [E682] to that position, just before which time Elder H. B.,
always alert to the best interests of the school, manifested a noble, self-sacri-
ficing spirit by resigning his office as president of the college, in favor of Dr.
M. G., who has since held that position.1 Elder H. B. is known as a wise
financier, and his financial support to the school, at critical moments as well as
at other times, has more than once relieved embarrassment and given the work
an impetus that made its success more certain. Besides this he has also given
much time in the class room, for all of which he has been paid not a cent. Nor
is this all; nor is the author of this acquainted with the half that has been
gratuitously given by those who are growing old in the work."b
As before stated he has been the only president of Board of Trustees of
Juniata College, and the only Dean of its Bible Dept. — in 1895 he spent six
months in European travel, especially in the Bible lands ; Repn. ; v.-p. Standing

Christian Family Companion (Tyrone, Pa.) for 10 months; became office
editor of The Pilgrim, issued Jan. 1, 1870, at Marklesburg, Pa., as elsewhere
noted," and remained closely associated in that publication with his bro.,
[E276] Henry Boyer5 Brumbaugh, until the consolidation with the Primitive
Christian, Oct. 31, 1876. He also attended Millersville and Shippensburg
State Normal Schools (Pa.), spent 1 yr at Crozer Seminary and a summer
session in the Sch. of Theol. in Chicago Univ. — part of this attendance was
after his election to the ministry of the G. B. B. Ch. in 1888.
Early in 1875, at the earnest solicitation of their cousin,0 and from a full
realization of the necessity for a larger field for business and other activities
Henry Boyer5 Brumbaugh [E276] and John Boyer5 Brumbaugh moved their
families and the publishing business to Huntingdon, Pa.
" Of those who figured prominently in the early history of Juniata College,
no one has been more closely related to her inner life ; no one more faithful and
untiring in his devotion to the work, from the very beginning than has John
Boyer Brumbaugh. In such a cause some personages necessarily stand out
more prominently than others. But none the less important are those who
humbly hide behind the more aggressive leaders and care for and zealously
guard the very life of the institution. Such have been some of the members of
the Board of Trustees, and amongst the first and truest has stood J. B. Brum-
baugh. He it was who first interested Prof. Zuck in the movement at Hunting-
don, and called him here. He and his good wife shared their home and table
with Prof. Zuck for the first year, for which they received no compensation save
the pleasure and inspiration of the presence of that noble hearted, godly man.
... He has done much soliciting for the college, and until recently received

time and study to teaching Bible classes in the College. As a man, he is ener-

GOING HOME
TO MY HUSBAND
We begin to see the dawning of the coming of the Lord,
New light shines upon the pathway, as we read His blessed word,
Growing brighter still, and brighter, as we near the river's ford,
For we are going Home.
From the valley to the hilltop, where the Lord transfigured stands,
In the glow of heaven's own radiance, we can see his outstretched hands;
Here we fain would tarry longer, but a gentle voice commands,
" My child, come, follow me."
We leave the blessed mountaintop, so near to heaven's gate,
And go with Him to valley deep, and stay through twilight, late;
O, why should dark Gethsemane be on this way of fate?
This way that leads us Home?
We go with Him through the garden, and on to Calvary,
For the glorious resurrection and the crowning time we see;
There's a mansion almost ready now, my dear, for you and me,
And we are going Home.

Pontius. When one year old his parents took him to Stark Co., O., and in the
spring of 1832 they moved to Randolph, Portage Co., O., where the old home-
stead was cleared and made into a beautiful farm. Schools were few but he
improved all available opportunities, and, when he became of age, went into
the lumbering business — having a good common school education — first in At-
water, Portage Co., later on a mill at Macedonia, Summit Co., and in 1855
in the Bair, Miller & Co. mill at Cairo, Stark Co., O. After his marriage to
Abigail Pontius of Lake Township, Stark Co., 0., he began farming on a farm
previously purchased jointly by himself and his brother [E345] Ephraim5 in
Randolph, Portage Co., O. He continued farming these 120 acres until the
death of his w, Feb. 12, 1891, when his son [E936] Cyrus6, took charge of the
farm, and he began traveling and working upon the " Brumbaugh Record."
He lived with his son until March 19, 1896, when he m (2) Mrs. Sarah
(Buchtel) Leeser, b June 22, 1835; dau John and Julian Buchtel (and widow
of Peter Leeser), of Summit Co., O. He bought a small home near his old
home, sold it in 1900 and again returned to the home of his son, [E936]
Cyrus6, where he d Sept. 3, 1901.
He was always very conservative in his views, and carefully considered
a subject before passing judgment. A Democrat in politics until 1861, he
went with the Lincoln administration in the prosecution of the Civil War. His
convictions were strong that a professor of Christianity ought not to enter the
army. He filled offices connected with schools and township affairs; united
with the G. B. B. Ch. (East Numishillin Church) about 1870, and at once
became quite active in religious work. He was soon thereafter elected church
secretary and also deacon, serving in the latter position until his death. He
was always active in temperance movements, and abstained from the use of
stimulants and narcotics.

Andrew5 Brumbaugh commenced work upon his " Brumbaugh Record " in
1885, but, owing to lack of co-operation and slowness in answering letters,
made slow progress in the earlier years of the work. Later he traveled exten-
sively, interviewing the older members of the Brumbaugh families in Ohio,
Indiana, Iowa and Pa. ; gathering important tombstone inscriptions, Bible
records, etc. The compiler of this publication, at various points in his investi-
gations found traces of Andrew's separate investigations, but not until after
his death. A box of letters, records, etc., were finally secured from the family,
having been preserved by Ephraim5 Brumbaugh [E345], brother of the late
Andrew5, and historian of the Reunion of Descendants of Conrad3 Brumbaugh
[E9].a Some important papers had been largely or wholly destroyed by mice
and rats, and every scrap of paper was carefully digested, so that the facts
he had patiently gathered might be worked into their place in a broad and
deep foundation upon which to rear not only a monument to the memory of the
late Andrew5 Brumbaugh [E344], our pioneer family historian, but also to
that of the worthy ancestors of all the families included in this publication.
He planned to include the lines included in Sections E and C. It is deeply
regretted that he could not have completed his work, and that he could not
have further assisted and enjoyed the consummation of the broader under-
taking. An autographic page where Andrew speaks of himself has been
photographically reproduced, together with a photograph of himself alone, and
as a member of the remarkable group of adult children of Henry4 Brumbaugh
[E41].
Mrs. Sarah Buchtel (Leeser) Brumbaugh lives with her son, John Leeser;

He was one of thirteen children reared upon this farm. His father actively
advocated popular education, and was instrumental in early securing schools
for their township. He purchased a saw mill which was run by water power,
and his boys followed lumbering. Ephraim5 worked for a number of years in

mills in Roatstown, Portage Co., and Cairo, Starks Co. Later he became a
farmer, also taking contracts for building bridges and school houses. In
1876 he bought one- third interest in a steam saw and planing mill, working
therein as engineer for fourteen years. He then sold his interest and returned
to farming. In May, 1899, his barn burned; he sold his farm and went to
California; upon his return he bought property in Middle Branch, Stark Co.,
O. — recently he moved to Kent, same county. Being unable to do hard work he
conducted several mail routes for over six years, and never missed the train —
going through all kinds of weather, day and night. He held school and town-
ship offices. Being strongly interested in prohibition he was a candidate on
that ticket for Township Land Appraiser but was defeated, together with
the entire ticket. *

with the Prog. Br. Ch., serving as trustee of the Middle Branch Church. (Il-
lustration).
Ephraim5 Brumbaugh ([E345] 2d president of the Reunion of Descend-
ants of Conrad3 Brumbaugh [E9]),a and historian of that organization since
the death of his brother Andrew5, has repeatedly assisted the compiler and

Normal College with the degree Bachelor of English in 1881, and in 1883 was
made Master of English by that institution. Continuing studies in science
at Juniata College (of which he was president, 1892-1910), he took the B. S.
degree there in 1885, and was made M. S. in 1887. In the meantime his active
life as an educator had commenced with his service as prof, of Eng. Lit. in Ju-
niata Coll., 1882-'84, and with the appointment as Co. Supt. of Schs. in Hunt-
ingdon county (Pa.) ; this latter office he held from 1884-'90. In 1890-'91 he
was again prof, of Eng. Lit. at Juniata. The next year was spent in graduate
study at Harvard, and in 1892 Prof. Brumbaugh returned to Phila. to assume
the duties of the pres. of Juniata Coll., and to pursue further studies at the
Grad. Sch. of U. of P., where the degree A. M., was conferred upon him in
1893, and Ph. D. in 1895. It was but a natural consequence of a career in
which the occupations of student and teacher have been so constantly and
equally mingled, that the appt. as Prof, of Pedagogy came to him from the
Univ. in 1894 ; as much a student as teacher himself, he is eminently fitted to
teach the educators profession."3 . . .

b Oct. 19, 1771 (tombstone gives old style Nov. 11, 1771), probably in Bed-
ford Co., Pa. Reference to the records of [E3] -|- Conrad2 shows that con-
siderable uncertainty exists amongst the descendants as to the time when the
family located " near Johnstown, Cambria Co., Pa.," hence the importance of
the land records, and of the John Horner ledger records hereafter mentioned —
see " Revelations of an Old Ledger." Johnstown, Pa., was called " Cone-
maugh " until about 1834.
John3 m Christena Metzker, b May 25, 1765 ; dau John Metzker (" Chris-

They lived in Woodberry Twp., Bedford Co., Pa., where John and his w,
" Christina," on Aug. 30, 1815, deeded a half interest in the grist milla to
[E5] + George2 Brumbaugh. John3 built the substantial stone house, here-
with reproduced, which contains a stone block with the inscription " J. B. — C.
1816." This tablet evidently means Christena, and seems to contradict the
statement that [E3005] + John3 Brumbaugh (miller and s of [E5] +
George2) built this house and lived in it. The w of [E5] George2 was Eliza-
beth4 Wineland [Ell-i].

Wurternberg,3 Germany. He was a Dunkard in religion, and was married
near Bedford, Pa., settled on a farm in the vicinity of that city, lived there
until 86 years of age, and died at the home of his son-in-law, John Brum-
baugh [E1700].a His children were named John, Henry, Jacob and Andrew;
and of these, Henry, the father of Benjamin, was born on the original farm
near Bedford, Pa., about 1778 and was there married, June 15, 1800, to Su-
sannah Ullery. In 1811 he brought his family to Ohio and located in Jefferson
township, Montgomery County, etc."b
In connection with all these families especial attention is directed to " As-
sessment of Woodberry Twp., Bedford Co., Pa., 1789 " (complete) p. 50.
Owing to the intermarriages noted in this section and elsewhere, the fol-
lowing quotations are given :
" The Stutsmans and Martins were early settlers. Prior to 1813, from
Bedford Co., Pa., came the Metzgers ; among them were the families of Jacob,
Andrew and Henry ; also the Whitmores and Brumbaughs and Wagners were
here in an early day."0
" In 1803 were added to the thinly settled regions the Ullerys, including
3 large families, hailing from the Keystone State, county of Huntingdon."3

old ledger is in the possession of Mr. James M. Swank, the iron and steel expert,
and a portion of his published description of the same is reproduced because it
applies to the same locality, period, and conditions, and also to the Juniata
Valley.
" REVELATIONS OF AN OLD LEDGER "a
" Isaac Proctor was a native of Bedford Co., Pa. He settled at Johns-
town, ' at the forks of the Conemaugh,' when it was a mere hamlet of log houses,
about the year 1800, in which year the town was laid out by Joseph Johns, a
Swiss Mennonite, into streets and alleys, building lots, public squares, and
other reservations. But the name that was then officially given to the new town
was Conemaugh and not Johnstown, the latter name being substituted for the
former in 1834. We have before us a letter dated at Conemaugh on April 27,
1832. Settlements had been made at Johnstown before 1800 by German and
Swiss farmers. For a number of years after 1800 the town was almost exclu-
sively inhabited by people of German and Swiss origin.
" Isaac Proctor was not only a country merchant but he was also the owner
of a warehouse on the north bank of Stony Creek, below Franklin street, in
Johnstown, which was maintained for the express purpose of receiving and
storing bar iron from the forges of the Juniata Valley, which bar iron was
hauled to Johnstown over the Frankstown road and thence shipped in large
flatboats to Pittsburgh by way of the Conemaugh, Kiskiminetas and Allegheny
rivers. There were other warehouses near that of Isaac Proctor which were
maintained for precisely the same purpose. The flatboats were built at Johns-
town, or at points farther up the Stony Creek and as far south as the mouth
of Ben's creek, three miles away. A large business was done far into the pres-
ent century in the shipment of Juniata iron by flatboats from Johnstown. At
first and for many years these shipments embraced only bar iron, but subse-

quently and down to the opening of the Pennsylvania Canal to Johnstown in
1830 they embraced also blooms and pig ironfall made with charcoal. As the
navigation of the streams mentioned was as yet wholly unimproved shipments
could only be made during high water, and even then experienced pilots were
required to prevent the boats from going to pieces on the rocks and riffles in
which the Conemaugh river particularly abounded. Occasionally a boat was
wrecked. In one disaster at Richards' Falls two lives were lost. Much of the
hauling over the Frankstown road was done in the winter, and February and
March, when the spring ' break-up ' took place, were favorite months for
sending the flatboats to Pittsburgh, which was one hundred miles away. The
boats were sold at Pittsburg and the crews walked home.
" Keelboats were also used on the Conemaugh and Kiskiminetas rivers,
but they were used chiefly in the salt trade, the Conemaugh salt works begin-
ning about forty miles west of Johnstown. The first salt works on the Cone-
maugh date from about 1814. In A. J. Hite's Hand Book of Johnstown,
printed in 1856, it is stated that the first keelboat built at Johnstown was built
by Isaac Proctor in 1816. Keelboats, which passed from the Conemaugh and
Kiskiminetas into the Allegheny, brought back return cargoes from Pittsburgh.
"The merchandise accounts in Mr. Proctor's ledger are chiefly for the years
1808 and 1809, occasional entries coming down as late as 1810, 1811, and 1812.
The warehouse accounts are for the years 1816, 1817 and 1818. As is usual
in ledger accounts the prices of merchandise are not often given. It is, how-
ever, very remarkable that all the merchandise accounts are kept in pounds,
shillings, and pence. The pound character (£) is used. Dollars and cents are
nowhere mentioned, although our federal coinage was authorized in 1792 and
silver dollars were coined as early as 1794. The dollar mark ($) does not
appear in any of the merchandise accounts. That business should have been
transacted in British or colonial currency in an interior town in Pennsylvania
as late as 1812 is a discovery for which we were not prepared. We can not
understand why the British system of computing values was continued in that
interior town so long, nor is any light thrown upon the value of a pound in
dollars and cents at Johnstown in 1812, or upon the forms of currency that
were used when payments were made in " cash." John Holliday closed his ac-
count with Mr. Proctor in June, 1811, when he is credited with a payment of
£32 16s. 4d. in " cash "; in January, 1811, Patrick Dempsey closed his account
by giving his note for £6 10s. 3d. ; in 18812 William Fulford closed his account
by giving his note for £2 6s. Id. ; and in the same year John Grosenickle closed
his account by giving his note for £1 Is. 2d. In 1808 John Grosenickle is
«
644

credited with £1 lis. 9d. for hauling a load of maple sugar to Bedford. There
are other entries in the same denominations.
" Another revelation of this old ledger is just as remarkable as the use of
pounds, shillings, and pence until 1812. The warehouse accounts of bar iron
received and shipped in 1816, 1817, and 1818 are kept in tons, hundredweights,
quarters, and pounds, the ton representing 2,240 pounds, the hundredweight
112 pounds, and the quarter 28 pounds. The teamsters who hauled bar iron
over the Frankstown road are credited in tons, hundredweights, quarters and
pounds, and shipments to Pittsburgh are entered in the same terms. In ordi-
nary commercial transactions neither iron nor any other commodity has been
weighed by hundredweights and quarters forming fractions of a gross ton at
any time within our recollection, the usage being to weigh only by tons and
pounds, and it is really very surprising that the early English custom should
have prevailed at Johnstown at so late a day as we have mentioned. Charges
for storage in 1816, 1817 and 1818 appear, however, to have been paid in
dollars and cents, as we find several charges in 1818 in these denominations.
We have also found within the leaves of the ledger a bill against Isaac Proctor
which reads as follows : ' Juniata Forge, 16th Dec. 1818. Mr. Isaac Proctor
Bot of Peter Shoenberger 2 qrs. 1 lb. Bar Iron @ $0.08c— $4.56.' Juniata
Forgea was located at Petersburg, Huntingdon county, and was built about
1804. In 1814 or 1815 it passed into the hands of Dr. Peter Shoenberger.
" The numerous entries in Mr. Proctor's ledger make clear that large
quantities of bar iron were shipped at Johnstown by flatboat in 1816, 1817,
1818. He did a large warehousing business, and other owners of warehouses
were probably active competitors. The aggregate tonnage shipped by Mr.
Proctor, which was chiefly on account of Dr. Shoenberger, amounted to several
hundred tons annually. Some of Mr. Proctor's single shipments amounted to
16 and 19 tons. . . .
" From other sources than the old ledger we add some other facts which
show the prominence of Johnstown as an iron centre early in the present cen-
tury.
"John Holliday built a forge at Johnstown, on the north bank of the
Stony Creek, about 1809, for the manufacture of bar iron from Juniata
blooms and pig iron, but we find no mention in Mr. Proctor's ledger of any
shipments from this forge. The dam of this forge was washed away about
1811, and subsequently the forge was removed to the north bank of the Cone-
maugh, in the Millville addition to Johnstown, where it was operated down to
about 1822, Rahm & Bean, of Pittsburgh, being the lessees at this time. In
"See [E13] p. 416.
JOHANNES HENHICH BBUMBACH AND HIS DESCENDANTS
645
1817 Thomas Burrell, the proprietor at that time, offered wood-cutters ' fifty
cents per cord for chopping two thousand cords of wood at Cambria Forge,
Johnstown.' The forge would appear to have been in operation from 1809
to 1822.
" In 1807 or 1808 Shade Furnace was built on Shade creek, in Somerset
county, about fifteen miles southeast of Johnstown, and in 1820 Shade Forge
was built near the furnace. As early as 1820 bar iron was shipped to Pitts-
burgh from Shade Forge. Much of the iron from this forge was hauled to
Johnstown for shipment down the Conemaugh, but some of it was shipped in
flatboats directly from the forge. Pig iron was also hauled to Johnstown from
Shade Furnace for shipment to Pittsburgh. But there was another early
forge, which was still nearer to Johnstown, on the Stony Creek, about half a
mile below the mouth of Shade Creek, known as Mary Ann Forge, which
shipped bar iron to Pittsburgh at a still earlier day, and perhaps as early as
1811. Richard Geary, the father of Gov. John W. Geary, was the manager
of the forge for about one year, and was supercargo of a load of bar iron
which was shipped from the forge down the Stony Creek, the Conemaugh, and
other streams to Pittsburgh. Garret Ream lived at the mouth of Ben's Creek
and built boats which were loaded at Johnstown, but he also shipped iron direct
from Ben's Creek, and it is probable that some of this iron came from Mary
Ann Forge, Shade Furnace and Shade Forge.
" About 200 pounds of nails, valued at $30, were made at Johnstown by
one establishment in the census year of 1810. About this time an enterprise
was established at Johnstown by Robert Pierson, by whom nails were cut from
strips of so-called ' nail iron ' with a machine worked by a treadle, but without
heads, which were added by hand in a vise. The ' nail iron ' was obtained at
the small rolling mills in Huntingdon county and hauled in wagons to Johns-
town.
" The chief interest of this old ledger consists in its revelation of the
fact that large quantities of Juniata bar iron were shipped to Pittsburgh
from Johnstown as early as 1816. Earlier shipments were made by water
from Johnstown to the same destination, probably as early as 1800, but the
ledger of Isaac Proctor shows conclusively that these shipments had attained
large proportions in 1816, 1817 and 1818, in which years bar iron had not yet
been made at Pittsburgh. Next in importance among the facts disclosed by
Mr. Proctor's ledger,* is the survival at Johnstown down to 1812 of the
British system of computing values and the survival down to 1818 of the now
long disused hundredweights and quarters."

In connection with the preceding, and with references under TESl "Fur-
naces and The Iron Industry," and [EM] « Juniata Forge," etc., the follow-
ing extract from « Progressive Pennsylvania," James M. Swank, pp. 189-
lyo, is also of interest :
"Bar iron and castings from Bedford furnace [on Black Log Creek 1787
or 1788, on the site of the present town of Orbisonia, Huntingdon Co ' Pa 1
and other iron works in the Juniata valley were taken down the Juniata river
in arks, many of them descending to as low a point as Middletown, on the Sus-
quehanna, whence the iron was hauled to Philadelphia. Much of the iron of
the Juniata valley was also sent to Baltimore in arks down the Susquehanna
river,
Much of the iron made in the Juniata valley during the palmy days of
its iron industry was sold at Pittsburgh, first in the form of castings, after-
wards m both pigs and bars, and finally chiefly in the form of blooms. Before
the completion of the Pennsylvania Canal [1834] and the Portage Railroad,
bar iron from Centre county was at first carried on the backs of horses to
the Clarion river, and was then floated on flatboats and arks to Pittsburgh
Pig iron and bar iron from Huntingdon county was hauled over the Franks-
town Road to Johnstown and floated to Pittsburgh by way of the Conemaugh
nver. Subsequently blooms were hauled to Pittsburgh from Huntingdon
county by wagon. ■ Dorsey's iron from Barree forge ' was on sale at Pittsburgh
in Oct., 1805, by Thomas Cromwell. In April, 1807, at Pittsburgh, E. Denny
advertised ' barr iron for sale, from Huntingdon and Centre counties, at a
reduced price.' Juniata iron was long noted throughout the country for its
excellence."

John and his family left Bedford Co., Pa. ; settled in Madison Twp., Mont-
gomery Co., O., in 1802 (1805 ?) ; and are said to have cut their way through
the forests from Dayton — they lived near New Lebanon, about 7 miles W. of
Dayton.
" John Vaniman, who was noted for his great size and strength, entered
a full section of land in Madison township for a homestead, together with
other tracts in Perry and Randolph townships, all lying in the unbroken for-
ests. Indians were numerous in the neighborhood, having a camp on a hill
upon Mr. Vaniman's homestead, but were neighborly and well disposed toward
the white settlers. Mr. Vaniman erected a large stone house, the first in the
township, cleared up a large farm, and died in his sixtieth year, one of the
most honored pioneers. His children were John, Kate, Betsie, Jacob, Polly,
Hannah, Samuel and others who died young."0 The dau Elizabeth m

John Vaniman " was born in England, but came to America at a very
early day, lived for many years in Pa., and then removed to Montgomery Co.,
O., in 1805. ... In those early days he was surrounded by Indians who
were, however, friendly, and frequently went to his cabin for food. Mr. Vani-

man put in a piece of corn on the Mad River bottoms, had a good crop, and
during the first winter he and his family lived on corn bread, turnips, and wild
game, the latter being then quite plentiful."
..." Mr. Vaniman was a German Baptist in religion [as were also his
family and those whom they married], and lived to a good old age, dying on his
farm. He was well known for miles around as one of the sturdy honest and
industrious pioneers. By his constant and well directed efforts he accumu-
lated considerable property, gave to each of his children 160 acres, and left to
his widow 320 acres of land."3

He was married in 1815 to Elizabeth Vaniman of Madison Twp., who bore

old homestead."3
" In the dim twilight of a May evening in 1851 a solitary emigrant wagon
halted at the cabin of Conrad Brumbaugh and a little band of travelers, con-
sisting of a man, his wife and two ch., weary and travel-worn, were welcomed
to a home as hospitable as kind hearts and ready hearts could make it. These
more than welcome guests were Asa Cox and family, who had come west to
seek a home.
" Mr. Brumbaugh fortunately had two cabins on his claim, one of which
he generously offered them, rent free, as long as they desired to occupy it.
Of this kind offer Mr. Cox availed himself, remaining in the cabin until 1853.
In 1852 Mr. Cox erected the residence now occupied by Lewis Harvont, which
was the second house built in Panora.
" While they yet lived on Mr. Brumbaugh's place, the two families pos-
sessed one cow in common ; one would milk her in the morning and the other in
the evening. Panooch and Des Moines supplied these settlers with groceries
and dry goods. They frequently walked to Panora, a distance of 25 miles,
for goods which they carried upon their backs or drew upon handsleds. This
was a lonesome walk, as there was but one cabin, in 1851, between Panooch and
the present site of Panora. For flour and meal they went below Winterset
and the Fort (Des Moines), and like all the old settlers, when they ran ashore,
they ground their grain upon hand mills and coffee mills."b

(Shively) Horner. Christian was son of John Horner,a the miller whose ac-
counts are reproduced elsewhere. George4 lived in Pa., Ohio, Mo., and Iowa.
In a letter written May 26, 1888, from Panora, Guthrie Co., Iowa, at age 86
he said " Conrad and Johannes came from Germany about 1765, and settled
within 3 miles of Johnstown, Pa., where David and George were born. Conrad
died within 3 miles of Johnstown when I was too young to recall."
" I landed in this County in 1854, where I am today " (1888). " I don't
know where my relatives went from Dayton." He recalled amongst the chil-
dren of [E3] Conrad2 Brumbaugh, his father, [E1701] + Daniel3, [E1703]
+ William3 and [E1708] + David3, and said " they moved to Dayton, O., in

family had extensive possessions in Germany (she could not recall where),
" but none of us will ever likely profit from it."

our love feasts at his home — 'and I was elected to the ministry, and farmed at
the same place. I solemnized his 2d marriage, baptized him and his 2d w,
preached his funeral and was executor of his estate." He also says the 1st w
by some was called " Mary Vissinger, or perhaps Wissinger."
" The Brumbaugh family were early settlers of Guthrie Co., and were well
known as active, enterprising whole souled men. They were always found in
the front rank, ready to do all in their power in the interests of their Co. . . .
Daniel Brumbaugh was b in Pa. in 1800 (1803?) and when an infant was

"Henry Brumbaugh, the only ch. of Conrad and Mary (Jacobs) Brum-
baugh, is one of the prominent citizens of Cass Twp. (Guthrie Co., Iowa). He
was b in Elkhart Co., Ind., where he lived till the fall of 1844, when his parents
moved to Polk Co., Iowa, where they remained until 1850 (May 2), when they
came to Guthrie Co. . . . Henry was m Aug. 31, 1853, to Matilda Stanton.
1864 Mr. Brumbaugh went to Montana and Idaho to mine, but after
arriving there was taken sick and did not attempt mining, but remained in that
section some 18 months. He is the owner of 109 a. of as good land as is to be
found in Cass Twp."a
Henry5 farmed the original farm taken up by his father (Conrad3) in
1850, but the active management of the same has recently been conducted by
his s George Washington6. Coal is reported to have recently been discovered
in considerable quantity upon this farm.
It had been Henry's custom for years to go to a barn near the house each
day about 4 p. m. Dec. 19, 1911, while returning as usual he was seen to fall
and d before he could be taken into the house. The funeral sermon was to have
been preached by Eld. Jacob Diehl Haughtelin, but he became sick and was
unable to do so. To the latter are due the compiler's thanks for facts concerning
"HTstory of Guthrie Co., Iowa, 1884, p. 475.

" John Milton Brumbaugh, whose career as a man of affairs and varied
interests presents some points of unusual prominence from a biographical
standpoint. ... He spent the first sixteen years of his life in his native
country, living there after his father's death until his mother sold the farm,
and with her children, moved out to Marion, Marion County, Kansas. Mr.
Brumbaugh spent twenty-seven years of his life in Kansas and was identified
quite prominently with the official life of the state. He was a clerk in the
Kansas state treasurer's office at Topeka two years; lived five years at Con-
cordia, and, during that time served two years as Kansas state fish commis-
sioner.' During his residence in the Sunflower State he was known as one of
the staunch and steadfast Republicans, unshaken in his allegiance by the popu-
listic movement which swept into its ranks so many members of both of the
old parties. In 1891 Mr. Brumbaugh met the noted Mary E. Lease m joint
debate on the topics of land, finance and transportation, and also took
prominent part in many other phases of the campaigns of those years, appear-
688 BEUMBACH FAMILIES
ing frequently in joint discussions with Populist orators. In this connection
he established a reputation as a debater and fluent speaker and showed him-
self a master of many of the important problems of the day. Mr. Brumbaugh
is a well educated man, although the common schools furnished his early ad-
vantages, his native intelligence and practical study of everyday affairs sup-
plying many deficiencies which are often observed even in college graduates.
He taught school for ten years of his career. He took up his residence in
Elkhart county April 22, 1892, and has lived there ever since. For three
years he was engaged in farming in Osolo township, and also filled out an
unexpired term as trustee of that township. Well versed in economic subjects
and in political affairs, it was but natural that he should turn his attention
to the law. He pursued his studies as opportunity offered, and was admitted
to the bar of this county in 1898. He was appointed justice of the peace in
1899, and still holds that office.
" He was elected in November, 1910, to his fourth consecutive term as
justice of the peace and when he will have served this term he will have been in
office continuously for sixteen years. . . . During the residence of Mr.
Brumbaugh in Kansas he served as a volunteer in a campaign made by the
State of Kansas against the Indians, who had inaugurated one of their ter-
rible wars for the destruction of the settlers and their property of the fron-
tier counties of which Marion County was one.
The company in which Mr. Brumbaugh served was compelled to make
long and severe marches against the Indians, and to endure all the severities
of an Indian campaign which carried with it the lack of shelter and food.
The company never overtook the fleeing savages, but the purpose for which
it was organized was served when they were driven back from the frontier and
were shown that they might expect armed resistance in any efforts they might
make to destroy the settlers and their property.'"1

HERMANUS EMANUEL1 BRUMBACH AND HIS DESCENDANTS
[Gl] HERMANUS EMANUEL1 BRUMBACH, b 1751, arrived in
America about 1770, probably through the port of Baltimore. There is a
tradition that he was a silver miner in Switzerland, but thus far the facts con-
cerning his foreign life and relationships have not been determined. The assess-
ment for Amity Township, Berks Co., Pa., for 1779, shows that he was a
" weaver " and owned 5 cattle. He was also a farmer, and was later assessed
in Oley Twp.

BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATE OF [G4] MATTHIAS " BROMBACH."
" To these two married persons, Hermannus Brombach and his lawful
wife (housewife by marriage), Catharine, a born Pattin (Pott or Potts) there
was born into the world a son, named Matthias Brombach, in the year of our
Lord Jesus 1776 the 9 day of October; this Matthias was born and baptized
in America, in the State of Pennsylvania, Berks County, Oley Township. The
above mentioned Matthias was baptized on the 6 December, 1776, by the Rev.
Mr. Michael. The sponsors were Matthias Hoffer and his wife Juliana.
Scarcely have we been born, from the first step in life until we reach the
cold grave — a very limited space (only a short measured step) — alas! with
each moment our strength declines (goes backward), each year bringing us
nearer to the bier (with each year we ripen too fast for the bier) ; and who
knows at what hour the last summons comes, for God has not revealed that
hour to any person; he who then sets his house in proper order (he who lives
rightly) gladly leaves this world, while on the contrary (whereas) assurance
(presumption) can bring about eternal death.
I am baptized, I belong to the cov- I am baptized ; whether I presently
enant through my baptism with my die what harm is there in the cold
God ; therefore I always speak words grave ! I know my Fatherland and the
of gladness in affliction, sorrow, fear inheritance that I have in Heaven
and distress; I rejoice that I am bap- with God; after my death there is pre-
tized, and the joy abides forever. pared for me the joys of Heaven and
a robe of light.
Praise God in your heart and forget not his goodness (faithfulness), who
has from fear and pain out of the dangers of sin."a

WILL OF [G8] GEORGE2 BRUMBACH OF OLEY TOWNSHIP, BERKS
CO., PA.a
In the name of God, Amen, I, George Brumbach of Oley township, Berks
County, State of Pennsylvania, find myself weak and old, but of sound mind
memory and understanding, in consideration of the uncertainty of this earthly
life, make and publish herewith this present as my last will and testament, in
the following way and manner. First, I commit my body to the cool earth
after my death until the day of resurrection, and my soul into the hands of
my Saviour, Jesus Christ, to an eternal happy life. Second, It is my will and
I do order that all my just debts and funeral expenses shall be paid as soon as
possible after my decease. Third, In consideration and distribution of the
earthly goods, wherewith God has blessed me in this earthly life, I give and
bequeath as follows : It is my will that after my death, all my property shall
be sold publically, according to law, and converted into money and divided
into three shares, namely: To Henry Brumbach [G42] one share and to
Susana Clouser [G43] one share and one share to the three children of Cath-
arine Harner [G44]. And if it should be the case that Henry Brumbach or
Susana Clouser should die before me, and then shall each one's share come to
their lawful children. Further, It is my will that the children of Catharine
Harner shall accept a certain bond which I hold against their father, Nathaniel
Harner, as part of their inheritance, but not so understood that this bond
shall be their full share, but only as far as it amounts. Lastly, I nominate my
son Henry [G42] and my son-in-law Daniel Clouser [G43] as my executors,
of this my last will and testament, revoking herewith all former wills and be-
queasts.

Pa'., Oct. 11, 1840; educated in the pub. schs. and at Lee's Academy in Read-
ing until he was 14 years old, when his father placed him in his woolen mills
to practically learn the business. Upon becoming of age he purchased the
property, and it was soon (1864) destroyed by fire. It was immediately re-
built upon an enlarged scale and named the St. Lawrence Mills, after a certain
grade of woolen cloth which William3 [G24] had begun to manufacture there
In 1856, and to sell through a commission house in Philadelphia. The building
is of stone, two stories high, and has three sets of machines run by steam as
well as by water power from the Antietam Creek. Seventy hands are employed
and the product consists mainly of mixed cassimeres. These were sold through
commission houses and merchants in Phila. until 1870, and, until 1895, by
traveling salesmen throughout the U. S. In the latter year Mr. Brumbach
established a fine three-story factory employing 100 hands in Reading for the
manufacture of trousers and vests, and has since been converting the St. Law-

'demand.

Mr. Brumbach is extensively interested in other enterprises. He took an

then. He was active in the building of the East Reading Electric Ry., in 1888,
and continues to serve as its only president; he assisted in establishing the
Penn Natl. Bank, March 3, 1883, serving continuously as director, and as
president since 1897— this bank in its April, 1912, statement showed resources
of over two and a half million dollars. He is director in Reading Cold Storage
& Ice Co. (1900), Reading Glove & Mitten Co. (pres. since 1905), Penn Shoe
Co. (1902), Printz Furniture & Carpet Co. (1907). He was prominently con-

in gathering material for a family history in which he received considerable
help from his wife. In a letter of Jan. 7, 1889, from Elmore, O., to Hon.
Orville Sanford0 Brumback [D263] -f- he gave the above biographical points
and further said : " As to the proposed Family Catalogue, it may be some time
yet that we will be gathering material. I had thought to confine it to my own
branch of about 1000 people, but may enlarge it so as to include the other five
branches. ... In my lists I have 375 names of the Brumbaugh connections
not related to me. ... I shall be thankful for any help in the matter which
you can give me." His widow very kindly turned over to the writer such ma-
terial as had been gathered and it has formed a very important basis for this
section of the present publication.

on the Southern Pacific R. R. in Cal. May 11, 1907, as were also a number of
others from Reading, Pa.
A beautiful tribute in the form of a memorial sermon by Rev. Henry H.
Ranck, preached May 26, 1907, is contained in the St. Andrews Bulletin of
June, 1907:
" ACTION OF THE CONSISTORY ON THE DEATH OF MR. AND
MRS. STOCKTON SNYDER."
" As the Consistory of St. Andrew's Ref. Ch., we wish to record our love
and appreciation of our now lamented member and fellow worker, Mr. Stockton
Snyder, and his beloved wife, who came so sadly and tragically to their un-
timely end.
" We wish also to bear to their bereaved children, parents and kindred,
our most heartfelt sympathy and the assurance of our prayers on their behalf
HERMANUS EMANUEL BRUMBACH AND HIS DESCENDANTS
793
that our loving God and Father may comfort them by His spirit and sustain
them by His grace, in this, their time of grievous sorrow, through the tender
ness and mercy of Jesus Christ, our Saviour and our Lord.
« Mr. and Mrs. Snyder were received into the fellowship of St And ew
at the autumn communion, Oct. 13, 1901 . . . They were already faithful
in attendance at the regular church services, and were at once ready for every
good work. They immediately became active in the S. S. and assumed from
Time to time many positions of usefulness and honor, entered heart and soul
into the busy life of our church, became leaders and pillars of the .congrega-
tion, and in these several positons of influence and services for Christ they
stood at the time of their terrible death.
« Mr Snyder became the asst. supt. of the S. S. soon after he became a
member thereof. He rarely missed a session, and then only for good reason;
he was a great help to the supt. . . . His gifts and faculty of adaptation
were such that he could fill most acceptably any vacancy that might occur.
He, as a rule, taught a class, and in the absence of the supt. of any de-
partment would take the position on short notice. He was supt. of the pn-
marv school from last Sept. to Jan
« He became treas. of the ch. Jan., 1904, and in this important position
was an ideal official. All matters pertaining to his office were promptly and
fully attended to; reports were made to every meeting in clear and simple
fashion ; his books were kept neatly and in thorough business-like manner, as his
annual auditors always testified; and he used not only his immediate ability,
but also his business position and vantage again and again to the great benefit
of the church.
« He was elected deacon Jan., 1905, filling the unexpired term of the late
and lamented Harry Ehl, and was re-elected to a full term in the same posi-
tion a year later. In this holy and useful office he was faithful in attending all
the services, and in his regular Sabbath duties was approachable, courteous
and thoughtful; in the counsels of the consistory his mature judgment was
always influential, and in the detail work of correspondence and visiting which
fell to him as a deacon, he took, with gladness, a large share.
« He had indeed an exceptional versatility of gifts-shrewd and keen in
business, tactful and kind, yet firm in dealing with people, forceful and im-
pressive in teaching and speaking, rich and full of unction in prayer-he
sanctified them all in faithful unreserved devotion to Christ and the Church.
« Mrs Snyder was equally devoted to St. Andrew's congregation and
found in the midst of numerous home duties much time for Christian work. She
became a teacher in the primary dept. of the S. S. shortly after joining the
794
BRUMBACH FAMILIES
church, and when the S. S. was reorganized with the addition of a junior dept.
she became organist of the primary school.
" Her quiet, sympathetic manner endeared her to the children, even as she
was beloved by all; as a member of the Ladies' Aid Society she was one of the
most faithful, and gave much time and strength to their work. She volunteered
her services at the organization of the Mission Band, Oct., 1902, and as teacher
and organist in regular meetings and in the preparation of special programs,
served with continuous faithfulness and efficiency.
" Next to their home, the centre of all the holy fellowship and joys of
Mr. and Mrs. Snyder was the church, which they loved and sustained unitedly
with beautiful appreciation, noble generosity and strong personal devotion.
" Their loss to our church is great, and to those of us who were honored
by their close and rich friendship the loss is irreparable. But we rejoice in
their lives of splendid service, in their characters of singular sweetness, in their
victory of faith through Christ Jesus our Lord, who rewards them with His
immortal crown of righteousness as they rest and serve before Him in the ever-
lasting sunshine of His presence. Their works do follow them and we cherish
their precious memory as a sacred heritage forever.
