______________

Brubacher. - Katherine Beechy was born Sept. 5, 1841. On July 22, 1860, she was married to David Brubacher. This union was blessed with 9 children, of whom 8 are still living; also 38 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild. From early youth she was a member of the Mennonite Church and always attended services when she could, but being subject to attacks of gall stones, there was many a time in the last 10 or 12 years when she could not leave home. She had a very active mind and when not suffering too much, always found great pleasure in reading her Bible and the Gospel Herald. She bore her sufferings patiently, but had no desire to recover from her late illness which was a complication of rheumatism and pneumonia. She died Mar. 20, 1915; aged 73 y. 6 m. 15 d. Her husband preceded her about 10 years. Funeral services March 22, at the Conestoga Church, conducted by Ezra Martin and Tobias Martin. Interment in adjoining cemetery.

BRUBACHER BROS.

In the general carriage and wagon industry and blacksmithing business the inhabitants of St Jacobs and vicinity are certainly to be congratulated in being in advance of the large majority of villages. In Brubacher Bros, they have a firm who carry on the business in its entirety under one roof and management, which must have many advantages for building road vehicles properly or repairing the same hurriedly, over the old custom where the wagon maker exchanges his woodwork for iron work with some blacksmith or the blacksmith his iron work with some wagon maker for his wood work, often at a distance from their respective places of business and not unfrequently in another village, which I find in my travels over the country a practice even in much larger places than St. Jacobs. On Feb. 27th, 1889, Mr. Daniel Brubacher, father of the above gentlemen, who had for over 20 years carried on very successful carriage and blacksmithing business on the Heidelberg road about two miles south-west of St. Jacobs, retired favor of his sons A. B. Brubacher woodworker and I. B. Brubacher blacksmith. The father now lives comfortably on his farm near here. The sons immediately formed themselves general partnership and removed to St. Jacobs where they built and equipped their present large brick shop, as well as two comfortable brick residences for themselves. By putting in work of first-class quality only they have maintained the good reputation enjoyed by the father predecessor, for building durable, well finished and easy running vehicles, and have built up a good trade not only in new work but in general jobbing and horse shoeing, having customery from a considerable distance. These gentlemen carry instantly from 10,000 to 13,000 feet of lumber the rough state and have at present 1,000 feet of oak wagon tongues alone. So it will be seen that they are in position use only thoroughly seasoned timber. They also carry a good stock of the rims, etc., as well full stock of oak material for wagon wheels and a fall line of blacksmith shop supplies, brimming goods, paints, varnishes, etc., which is absolutely insure first-class work. In the manufacturing of cutters they do some fine work to durability and finish, and have a of beauties on hand. I would advise those contemplating buying anything in their line of business to give them a call. They report business very brisk, having number of cutters and sleighs, and have also orders on hand for several buggies etc. to out next spring.

Mr. I Brubacher plays a cornet in the St. Jacobs Band and is a great poultry fancier, having a lot of fine thoroughbred bird's of the barred Plymouth Rock and white Leghorn breeds. Last summer he sold most of his egg production for hatching purposes.

Mr. A. B Brubacher is a J. P, and has the peace of the village to look after and is a general conveyancer. ln this respect he is decidedly the right man in the right place.

___________________

"Teachers in rural one or two-room schools had to prepare lessons in their own time. Reflecting in June 1944 on his first ten years in the same school (Riverbank), Eben Cressman reported 'hundreds of 14-hour days grappling with the numerous duties of a rural school teacher' and the problems of 'handling many children daily and the lack of wisdom in handling discipline...In a room in which five grades are taught at one time it is a gigantic task to learn all the subject material and the best way to teach it'.....School sections differed in the levels of equipment and support provided to teachers. Eben Cressman remembers desperate shortages at Riverbank in the 1930s when 'there was no money for anything'......Eben Cressman remembers no delinquency in his 20 years as a teacher (or his earlier eight years as a pupil) in township schools."

Waterloo Township Through Two Centuries" (Pg. 331)

________________

Eben Cressman, born in 1912, had three years' high school. Then, to give his sister her chance, he worked at the family's chopping and grist mill in Breslau until he was 21. He attended the Hamilton Normal School to qualify as a teacher and later studied for a B.A. degree while teaching at Riverbank school."

Waterloo Township Through Two Centuries" (Pg. 337)

_________________

"Area schoolboards allowed resources to be shared to enrich the rural curriculum. One of the first actions of the Area 1 Board (ie: 7 schools east of the Grand River) in 1944 was to appoint Eben Cressman as itinerant teacher in agricultural and natural science, manual crafts, construction work and physical education for all the Area 1 schools. With ten years' teaching experience already at Riverbank, he was sensitive to the needs of rural children and families and highly creative and conscientious. He called himself 'a jack of all trades' while former inspector Dobrindt, recalling this period in 1994, describes Cressman's role as 'almost an acting principal to the whole area'. Cressman was responsible for an area of about 25 square miles with 350 pupils in four suburban or village schools and five rural one-room schools. He spent half a day each week at each of the nine schools, and the remaining half day at a disused room at Riverbank school preparing his teaching and learning materials such as patterns, pictures, charts and puzzles. When he arrived at a school he would take charge of grades 5 to 8 for science until recess time. After inspecting work set the previous week, he would teach the agriculture lesson to Grades 7 and 8 and then the natural science lesson to grades 5and 6. After recess came the crafts period. In a one-room school, the grade 5 to 8 pupils would go to the basement for woodwork, and the regular teacher would present the science lesson Eben had prepared to grades 3 and 4 for half the period, then give a paper construction lesson. In a two-room school, Cressman would take the boys of grades 5 to8 to the basement while one regular teacher took the girls of those grades for crafts or domestic science and the other teacher taught the science and construction lessons to grades 3 and 4. Craft lessons were very popular with the children making objects to take home as well as useful items for the schoolroom. Physical education lessons were squeezed into recesses and designed in the form of games of all kinds to give children ideas for their own free time. Eben Cressman
