Andrew Brumbaugh
Andrew Brumbaugh, farmer, P. O. New Baltimore, Stark Co., Ohio, was born in Pennsylvania July 5, 1830. His father came with his parents from Pennsylvania to Stark County, Ohio, in 1810. After he was of age he returned to his native State, and while there he married Catharine Stiffler, and after the birth of our subject they came to Stark County, Ohio, and in April, 1832, they located on Lot 10, in Randolph Township, this county, where they still reside. Here, with hard labor and economy, and suffering the privations incident to pioneer life, they cleared up a large farm and raised a family of thirteen industrious children, viz.: Andrew, Ephraim, Nancy, Jacob, Isaac, Elizabeth, Conrad, Samuel, Mary, Susan, Henry P., Lydia and Eli, all married except the youngfest, who is twenty-six years old. Five of these, viz., Andrew, Ephraim, Isaac, Nancy and Samuel, own and live on farms adjoining the old home farm, and Henry P. and Eli are living with the parents on the old home. Our subject was married March 28, 1857, to Abigail Pontious, born in Stark County, Ohio, July 10, 1828, daughter of Nicholas and Eva Pontious, who came to Stark County, Ohio, from Pennsylvania in a very early day. To Mr. and Mrs. Brumbaugh were born four children: Angeline, Sarah A., Louisa and Cyrus. Our subject has been engaged in farming all his life, and owns 122 acres of improved land. He and his wife are members of the Brethren Church. He has filled the office of Trustee of his township for three years.
