• Notes

  Brubacher, Menno, son of the late Moses and Elizabeth (Musselman) Brubacher, was born Oct. 11, 1874, in Woolwich Twp., Ont.; died at his home near Waterloo, Ont., on Dec. 14, 1956, after a lengthy illness; aged 82 y. 2 m. 3d. On Dec. 4, 1900, he was united in marriage to Almeta Good, who survives. Also surviving are 2 sons (Walter and Curtis, both of Waterloo), and 3 daughters (Elizabeth-Mrs. Enoch B. martin, St. Jacobs, Ont.; Lucinda-Mrs. Abner Cressman, New Hamburg, Ont.; and Ada, La Junta, Colo.), one brother (Simon, Waterloo), 18 grandchildren, one great-grandchild. One son, 2 brothers and 2 sisters preceded him in death. He united with the Mennonite Church in his youth and was ordained to the office of deacon in the St. Jacobs Mennonite Church in 1926. He was always deeply concerned in the welfare of the church. His service was marked with earnest intercession, which he maintained until the very last day of his life. He also contributed many articles and poems to the Gospel Herald, and wrote many letters of warning and encouragement to brethren in the church. He wrote the marriage hymn entitled "O God of Wisdom." He was a pioneer in the Sunday-school movement in the late 19th century. Funeral services were in charge of Roy S. Koch, assisted by J. B. Martin and Oliver D. Snider, with burial in the St. Jacobs Mennonite Cemetery. Gospel Herald - Volume L, Number 2 - January 8, 1957 page 46, 47
