• Notes

  Isaiah Brubacher, "the thid son of David Brubacher, was born March 22nd, 1866. He is engaged in business with his brother Aaron in St. Jacobs. They have turned out a number of first class carriages and buggies since their coming to St. Jacobs. On October 23rd, 1888, he was married to Hannah, daughter of Levi Cress. " 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ____________ 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. Waterloo Chronicle 9 Dec 1897, p. 2
