BRUBAKER-Harl Daniel, young.
est son of Mr.. and Mrs. Valentine
Brubaker, was born near Cedar, Ma.
haska county, Iowa, on February 3,
1881, and departed this life at his
home two miles southwest of Cedar
at $3.50 o'clock a. M, March l, 1912,
aged 81 years and 26 days. He was
united in marriage to Miss Arda
Irene McEwen, on December q, 1905,
who, with her little son Burl Clifford,
aged four years, are left to mourn
their loss, besides his mother, Mrs.
A. l.. Brubaker, four brothers, Ed,
w. H., H. A. and L. J. Brubaker, and
three sisters, Mrs. John Purdin, Mrs.
p. C. McEwen and Miss Ethel Bru-
baker, and numerous other relatives
and friends. He was converted under
the ministry of Rev. o. E. Mcbride
and united with the Cedar M. Il.
church in February, 1909, and lived
consistent and faithful member of the
church until his demise. He had been
q regular attendant of the church I'M.
til his last illness. He was a patient
and cheerful sufferer and never COM
planned of his ailment. Everything
was done for him that could be done
to give him relief, but to no avail and
he passed to the great beyond firm
believer in his future happiness. He
was a loving husband and indulgent
father. a kind neighbor and firm
friends, and his sunny disposition will
be much missed by his friends and
neighbOrs, but not so much as in the
home where he was adored. He loved
his Savior and often offered up his
alteration to Him. He lived an active
and useful life. His wife and little
son needed him. but the Father"
needed him more. The family has the
sincere sympathy of all in its sad be-
reavement. The floral offerings were
profuSe, attesting the high esteem In
which the deceased was held. The
funeral occurred Sunday morning at
1880 at the Cedar NJ. +. church, the
services being conducted by the for
mer pastor, Rev. o. L. Mcbride, who
delivered a most beautiful and touch
ing sermon, filled with encourage
ment for those who SURVIVE and COM

of Him who rules over all. The body
was brought to the Cedar township
cemetery, where interment was made,
