HENRY D. BRUMBAUGH.  North Woodbury Township, Blair County, Pa., has its full
quota of successful and intelligent business men and among these none are more
enterprising than Henry D. Brumbaugh, who is established at Clover Creek. He
deals in farm implements and manufactures pure cider vinegar, chop, corn meal
and buckwheat flour. Mr. Brumbaugh was born September 2, 1868, in North
Woodbury Township, Blair County, and is a son of John B. and Catherine
(Dilling) Brumbaugh.
     John B. Brumbaugh was born in Huntingdon County, Pa., a son of David
Brumbaugh, who was a resident of many years standing there. When Henry D.
Brumbaugh was six years old his father died and six years later the death of
his mother left him an orphan and he was thus early thrown entirely upon his
own resources. For two years he worked for farmers in Huntingdon County and
later for several years was in the employ of Aaron Mock. In 1900 he
established his business at his present location at Clover Creek. The mill
that he operates was built by George and John Brumbaugh away back in pioneer
days, and ever since has been in the possession of some member of this
family. His cider press is of more modern construction and is operated with
improved machinery, but the old flour mill is run by the water of Clover
Creek, with an old over-shot wheel, and it is one of the old landmark
structures of this section. Mr. Brumbaugh had few educational advantages in
early days but has long since supplied any deficiency by reading and contact
with the world, but this makes him particularly interested in the public
schools, and anxious that his children should have good opportunities.
     Mr. Brumbaugh was married to Miss Sallie Shoenfelt, a daughter of John
Shoenfelt, who lives on Piney Creek, Huston Township. Mr. and Mrs. Brumbaugh
have had seven children born to them, namely: Blanche, Leo, Florence, Irene,
and three who are deceased. Mr. Brumbaugh and family are members of the
Church of the Brethren. He casts his vote with the Republican party and for
two terms he served acceptably as road supervisor in North Woodbury Township.
