• Notes

  David M. Brubahcer, "the third son of John W. Brubacher, was born November 6th, 1836. On July 22nd, 1860, he was married to Catharine, daughter of Louis and Barbara (Wanner) Beeshy. They reside two miles south of St. Jacobs, on the Heidelberg Road where he possesses one of the fine Woolwich farms. His family consists of nine children" Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. _________________________________ This week it becomes my duty to chronicle the death of one of our old settlers in the person of David Brubacher, who was born in the Township of Woolwich on November 6th, 1836. When about 18 years old he learned the trade of carriage maker, and about 48 years ago he started business on his own account in St. Jacobs, where he continued a very successful business for 7 or 8 years. He then sold out and removed to the place on the Heidelberg road known at that time as "Hollinger's Hotel." The little place contained three residences and a hotel. Here he successfully carried on carriage-making and blacksmithing business for about 23 years, when he sold out to two of his sons, Messrs. Aaron B. and Isaiah Brubacher, who formed a partnership under the name of Brubacher Bros, and removed the business back to St. Jacobs where their father, had first founded it. After that Mr. Brubacher devoted all his time to his two farms on lot 9, Woolwich township until a few years ago he sold one farm to his son, Auson and rented the homestead farm to his son Noah and retired from active work. For the past three years he has been feeling the effects of declining years. Diabetes started its deadly work and becoming acute caused his death in the early morning of July 14th. He leaves a sorrowing widow and 8 children, all of whom are married but David, the youngest son, telegraph operator at St. Catharines. The others not named above are: Annie (Mrs. David L. Martin), near the old homestead; Barbara, (Mrs. Israel Brubacher,) Elmira; and Catharine, (Mrs. Noah Cressman), head cook at the Berlin-Waterloo hospital. The funeral took place on Sunday and was one of the largest held in this neighborhood for a long time; there were over 100 teams in the funeral procession and probably 100 more at the church. Funeral services were held at the Mennonite church 2 miles northwest of St. Jacobs, Rev'ds Tobias Martin, Joseph Gingrich ad Abr. Brubacher officiating. Elmira Signet 20 Jul 1905
