LEVI H. BRUMBAUGH, whose well improved farm of 110 acres lies in North
Woodbury Township, Blair County, Pa., is a prominent resident of this section
and is a member of one of the old township families. He was born in this
township, in November, 1858, and is a son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Hoover)
Brumbaugh, and a grandson of Rev. George Brumbaugh, at one time a prominent
minister in the Dunkard Church. Both parents of Mr. Brumbaugh are deceased,
his father passing away when he was a boy.
     Levi H. Brumbaugh has practically spent all his life in his native
township. Farming and its kindred industries have interested him, and his own
property he has improved with attractive buildings and has placed it under so
high a state of cultivation that it is probably valued as .high as any land
in the township.
     Mr. Brumbaugh was married in August, 1881, to Miss Fannie Rhodes, a
daughter of the late Daniel G. Rhodes, and a sister of S. S. Rhodes, a
prominent resident of Curryville. Mr. and Mrs. Brumbaugh have two daughters,
A. Grace and Ada C., both of whom are highly educated young ladies and
successful teachers. Mr. Brumbaugh and family are members of the Church of
the Brethren, Clover Creek congregation, of which he is treasurer.
     The Hoover family, to which the mother of Mr. Brumbaugh belonged, is a
numerous one in Pennsylvania, and it is also a representative one in regard
to thrift and general worth. The maternal grandfather of Mr. Brumbaugh was
Jacob P. Hoover, who was once a prominent man in North Woodbury Township, a
deacon in the Dunkard church and one whose judgment was frequently consulted
as he was considered a very able business man. The grandfathers on both sides
have long since passed from earth, but their influence is still felt in the
results that followed their worthy and virtuous lives.
