  LYNN A. BRUA, JR., is one of the prominent contractors of 
Hollidaysburg, where he is a partner with his brother in the 
firm of E. H. and L. A. Brua, Jr.  Born in this city, April 
2, 1890, he is the son of Lynn A. and Lizzie (Hite) Brua, 
the former of whom was a native of Blair County and the 
latter born near Pittsburgh, Pa. He attended the graded and 
high schools of Hollidaysburg and the Staunton Military 
Academy, from which he graduated in 1908. In 1911, he went 
to Detroit, Michigan, where he was in the employ of the Ford 
Motor Company and in charge of some two hundred men. 
Resigning in 1917, he engaged in road contracting for 
himself and so continued until 1922, when he joined his 
brother in the establishment of the present contracting firm 
of E. H. & L. A. Brua, Jr.  This company has the enviable 
record of having built most of the improved roads in Blair 
County and many in Clearfield, Cambria, and Bedford 
Counties.  Edwin H. Brua manages the grading operations of 
the company, and Lynn A. Brua superintends the laying of 
the concrete.  Work for the Altoona & Logan Valley Railway 
is also done by this firm.  He is a member of the Juniata 
Colony Club and the Hollidaysburg Club.  In 1911, he married 
Grace Lindsay, of Hollidaysburg, and to them have been born 
two children, Lynn A., III, and Nancy Grace.
