Henry Brubaker, the youngest child of Maj. John Brubaker, of Berlin, was b Berlin, Mar 31, 1827. He was educated by private tutors, & at Allegheny College, Meadville, PA. In 1848 he began the study of medicine under Dr. J.H. Reidt, of Berlin. Subsequently he attended the Jefferson Medical College, & Mar 8, 1851, received his degree of M.D. from that institution. He 1st began to practice in New Lexington, where he remained about 18 months. Then he located in Berlin for a brief period, or until 1856, when he settled in the town which has since been his home--Somerset, PA. Here he has enjoyed an extensive--and we may add, a lucrative--practice for nearly thirty years. Though various other medical practitioners have located in Somerset at different times, Dr. Kimmel & himself have chiefly been relied upon during the long period mentioned. The degree of A.M. was conferred upon him by Allegheny College in 1879. Dr. Brubaker m Miss Emeline Philson, of Berlin. They have 2 sons & 4 dau.s. Dr. Albert Philson Brubaker, their eldest child is mentioned in another entry. (Source: The History of Bedford, Somerset & Fulton Co.s, PA, 1884, Waterman, Watkins & Co., p. 431)
