Individual Details

ALFRED 5 BRUMBAUGH, (same ancestry as
Joseph) b May 19, 1839, at Bell's Furnace, Shirley Twp., Hunting-
don Co., Pa. ; Feb. 22, 1868, m Sarah Jane McCarl, b May 12, 1884, at Cassville, Huntingdon Co., Pa.: dau Robert and Elizabeth (Stevens) McCarl.
During the Civil War Alfred 3 served as bugler in Co. F, 12th Pa. Cav., and his bro, Andrew, served in the same company.
" In early life Mr. Brumbaugh united with the M. E. church and all his life demonstrated the reality of the religion which he professed. When in 1859 it was desired by the handful of Methodists, who were among the early settlers of Mapleton, to organize a class here, it was Mr. Brumbaugh and one of his brothers who walked to Bridgeport to see Mr. and Mrs. Martin Wilson, who then resided there, about withdrawing their membership from the then strong
Mill Creek congregation and uniting with the struggling band at Mapleton.
Their mission was successful and for the more than half a century that has since elapsed Mr. Brumbaugh took the same active interest in church work. He was rarely absent from his place. He was passionately fond of music and a revival or social service in which his strong voice was not heard leading in the songs of invitation or praise would have been incomplete.

" Mr. Brumbaugh frequently filled positions as an official in this borough and though not specially trained for such duties his wealth of common sense and good judgment proved valuable and his sterling honesty made him a valuable acquisition in local governmental affairs. As a neighbor and friend, he was as loyal and faithful as in other capacities. He never swerved from the line he believed to be right.

" The death of Mr. Brumbaugh removes a landmark and is a decided loss from a human point of view, to his family, the community and the church. The world has its ideas of success, and he may not have measured up to its standards, but no well-balanced mind can look upon such a life and deny that it was
eminently successful. We commend his career to every young man. In early life he had the wisdom to choose the Christian life and when the time came to change mortality for immortality he goes to the tomb ' like one who wraps the draperies of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams,' and all who knew him are moved to speak his praises. "

Alfred 5 died suddenly from apoplexy July 3, 1910, and is survived by six children. Robert Henry, and Jesse Elmer live at Mapleton,
Pa., which place had been the home of the family since 1857.

" Sarah Jane Brumbaugh, widow of the late Alfred Brumbaugh, died at her home on Railroad street at 8 :20 o'clock Monday evening, January 23, 1911, of pneumonia, after an illness of two weeks.

" Mrs. Brumbaugh's maiden name was McCarl, she being the only daughter of the late Robert and Elizabeth (Stevens) McCarl and was born in Cassville, Pa., May 12, 1844, hence was aged 66 years, 8 months and 11 days.
When she was ten years of age the family moved from Cassville to Mapleton and with the exception of one year (1870), which was spent in Mount Union, the balance of her life was spent here. Feb. 22, 1868, she was united in marriage at Mount Union to Alfred Brumbaugh, who died July 3, 1910. To them were born eight children, six of whom — four sons and two daughters — survive. They are; John A., of Wilkinsburg; Robert H. and Jesse E., of Mapleton, and Ira Victor, of Lewistown ; Mrs. Delia Craig, of Huntingdon, and Mrs. Catherine Beale, of Altoona. There also survive six brothers, as follows : William McCarl, of Mercersburg; Edward McCarl, of Clarks Ferry; W. S. McCarl, of Juniata ; R. N., Geo. W., and Elmer E. McCarl, of Mapleton.

" Mrs. Brumbaugh united with the M. E. ch. in 1869 and her life was a living epistle of her profession. For some years past her hearing had been defective but last Sunday this function was restored to her in a marked degree of perfection. She at once summoned the friends to her and expressed her gratitude and appreciation of their ministrations, and for the many pleasures
they had given her in her life. All day Monday this clearness of her faculties continued and in the evening, at the time above stated, she calmly and peacefully relinquished the burdens of life to assume the pleasures of immortality.
