ELINAS M. BRUBAKER, who resides on a farm of 50 acres in Frankstown Township,
Blair County, Pa., was born December 10, 1875, in Allegheny Township, Blair
County, Pa., and is a son of Samuel and Christena (Berkey) Brubaker, and a
grandson of Ephriam Brubaker. Samuel Brubaker, father of our subject, served
in the Civil War, and resides on a farm adjoining that of his son Elinas. He
is politically a Republican and is a member of the Church of the Brethren.
His marriage with Christena Berkey resulted in the following issue: Sarah,
the wife of Isaac Wilt; James (deceased) and David, who were twins; Samuel;
Alexander; Aaron; Silas; and Elinas M.
     Elinas M. Brubaker was reared on the home farm, and obtained his
educational training in the local schools. He was then an employee of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company for eight years, but since 1906 has been
engaged in agricultural pursuits on his present farm, and it is his intention
to make that his future occupation.
     February 20, 1900, Mr. Brubaker married Cora Sell, who is a daughter of
Simon and Mary (Benton) Sell, prominent farmers of Blair County, and is the
second eldest of the following children born to her parents: Martha, the wife
of Charles Brubaker; Cora, wife of our subject; Thomas; Rachel, wife of Archie
Claar; Pearl; Susan; and Matthew. The following children have been born to Mr.
and Mrs. Brubaker: Elmer, Myra, Lloyd, Simon, Hiram, and Bertha.  Mr. Brubaker
is politically an adherent of the Republican party, but has never cared to
hold office.  He is a member of the Church of the Brethren.
