In her youth she accepted Christ under the evangelistic efforts of Eli S. Hallman, uniting with the congregation at the David Eby Church, now the Erb Street Mennonite Church, Waterloo, Ont. On Sept. 2, 1908, she was united in marriage to Jacob G. Brubacher. To this union were born 4 children (Elmer G., Howard A., Mary-Mrs. Clare E. Cressman, and Ruth-Mrs. Willis Cressman, Bloomingdale). Also surviving are 12 grandchildren, one sister (Mary Ann, Preston, Ont.), and 2 brothers (Noah, St. Jacobs, Ont.; and Abraham, Bridgeport, Ont.). She was preceded in death by her brother Moses, Lenna, Menno, Enos, and Lydia-Mrs. Ezra Shantz. Her radiant smile and words of encouragement will be greatly missed by all who knew her, especially in the church and Sunday school where she served faithfully as long as health permitted. Funeral services were conducted by Clare Shantz and J. N. Martin at the Erb Street Church.
