2,500 Attended Brubaker and Hershey Reunion
AU-Day Affair Held on Brubaker Homestead Last Saturday—Biggest Family Reunion
Ever Held in County
With fine weather and an immense
attendance the Brubaker and Hershey
reunion held on the old Brubaker
homestead near Brickerville on Satur-day
was a big success. There was a
finely arranged program and the fact
that there are so many preachers in
the clan assured discussions that were
highly intellectual and instructive. The
reunion was not observed as a day of
f r o l i c but as a time for reverence and
thanksgiving to the Creator.
The broad fertile fields comprising
t h e Brubaker Valley, the quiet and
pSacefulness of the country, the clear
blue sky added a fine setting to , t he
retmion. It is estimated that 2500 per-sons
were present, coming not only
f r om this state, but from Virginia,
Ohio, and Canada. Over three hundred
automobiles were lined up in the field
on the f a rm and numerous autos made
many trips between Lititz and the
place of the reunion, carrying passen-gers
who came by trolley and train.
Two large tents were erected in the
field and every bench under this cover
was occupied while many stood duritig
the afternoon session.

daughter. In company with Christian
Hershey a grant of land was received
of 1000 acres, along the Little Cones-toga
in West Hempfield Township. A
grist and saw mill was built on the
site. The grist mill was the first ever
built in Lancaster County. The land
was divided between the two families
in 1729.
The children of John Brubaker be-
'came scattered. Abram moved to Vir-ginia,
one moved to Canada and an-other
to the western part of the state.
In 1731 John Brubaker and his wife
Anna bought land along the Hammer
Creek, the location of the present Bru-baker
farm, which has been owned by
five generations of this family, Menno
Brubaker being the present owner.
Clock Dates Back to 1717
A grandfather clock which was the
property of the first Brubaker who
came to America is in possession of
the historian. A large chest which was
brought, along from Switzerland is
among the prized relics kept in the
family circles.
Hershey History
The early history of the Hersheys
and Brubakers is closely related. The
families came to this country through
t h e influence of H a n s Herr. Christiane
Hershey died in 1729, leaving two sons
and a daughter.

Elmer W} man's Death Sever Reported
by Government
According to a government report
every American soldier who became a
"casualty" in the war against Germany
has been accounted for. A list of miss-ing
and unaccounted for, which at one
time was as high as 25,905, gradually
was reduced until for weeks it re-mained
at two. It is now presumed
there is no doubt the two soldiers are
dead and they have been so listed of-ficially.
Elmer C. Wyman, who joined the
Marines while a resident of this place,
evidently is accounted for, but up to
this time the- Government has sent no
official notice of his death to any of
his relatives, but his mother receives
the monthly allotment of Government
insurance.
According to Arlington Hackman, of
this place, who was a Marine in the
Second Division, the same as Wyman,
mqst of the records of the Division
were lost, pl-obably accounting for the
fact of the Government never sending
out notification of the death of the Lit-itz
soldier.
Death of Mrs. John Zarlngr, of >'ear
Rotlisvillo
Lizzie, wife of John Zaring, nee Mc-
Creary, died at her home, between
Rothsville and Millport, on Wednesday
evening, aged about 50 years. The de-ceased
had influenza last October and
never recovered. She is survived by
her husband, and one son, David, at
home; also two brothers and a sister:
John McCreary, of near Rothsville;
Frank S. McCreary, Rothsville, ' and
Mrs. Jos. Simmers, Lititz. The funeral
was held Sunday morning from the
late home, with f u r t h e r services and
interment at Landis Valley.
Close Escape
F r a n k l i n Spickler, the well-known
ball player of this place, had a narrow
escape ,from being injured Saturday
afternoon when ha was returning f r om
a ball game at Rossmere with Ray-mond
Evans. The automobile was
crowded and Spickler was standing on
the running board. Evans in getting
ahead of another machine, and as the
driver of the other car did not give
him sufficient room, had to drive close
to the fence, which tore considerable
of Spickler's clothes from his body.
He managed with great difficulty to
cling to the machine. In fact he was
minus so much of his trousers that he
had no desire to be seen on the street
when he arrived here.

Mr. and Mrs. J. F r a n k Buch arrived
safe in Honolulu, having been fortu-nate
in securing passage at San Fran-cisco
fifty minutes before sailing time.
The following letter was written by
Mr. Buch during the voyage:
August 27, 1919.
Before setting sail on-the Sackemat,
San Francisco, yesterday I hurriedly
wrote a postal and handed it to some
lady to mail. When at Frisco yester-day
we went to the Matson S. S. Co.
office several times and asked if there
was no possible chance. Finally a man
in the office said that in case the two
ladies who were on the way from Los
Angeles in an auto did not come in
time we would get their place. We
waited until 3 P. M., when the agent
asked us if we wanted to run a chance
of getting our baggage down from the
hotel to the pier. We answered yes.
We had 55 minutes time. We took a
car to the hotel, packed up our goods
and had the hotel people phone for a
taxi. We were on nettles, sure thing,
but we were on the pier quite a ways
f r om the hotel in time. Five minutes
before the boat sailed the head man
of the boat said, "All right, come
ahead." As soon, as we were aboard
the gang plank was taken aw_ay and
we were on the way to Honolulu and
happy as children on the way to a pic-nic.
We both slept good the first night,
but today Mrs. Buch did not feel so
well, perhaps a little seasick. The boat
rocks considerable.
There are fifty-one women and forty-t
h r e e men on board. The women are
mostly school teachers. There are
sixty officers, ship mates, cooks, help-ers
and so on. Boat carries forty
horses and mules and lots of freight.
One of the women passengers is the'
principal in the schools where Mrs.
Theodore Buch (our daughter-in-law)
teaches.

at the election. The biggest
one was the defeat of Herbert Seiger-walt,
constable from Manheim town-ship,
at the hands of Danny Kemper,
saloon keeper at Eden. Kemper op-posed
Steigerwalt for the office of con-stable
from Manheim township and
polled 307 votes. Steigerwalt got 253,
Organized Republicans Worked Hard
While Zook and McAllister fell down,
yet they threw a scare into the organ-ized
Republicans, and as a result the
workers were out in f u l l force and as
a result a big Republican vote was
polled. In Lititz autos were sent out
to bring in the voters, something sel-dom
done in a primary. Zook and Mc-
Allister had a hard proposition in
bucking the organization, as the re-sults
proved.
