WOODSFIELD - A solemn requiem high mass will be solemnized at
9 o’clock Wednesday morning in St. Sylvester’s church for Ben Brubach,
34, with the pastor Rev. J. G. Mehler, officiating, assisted by Rev. George
Drescher of Miltonsburg and Rev. Joseph Finan of Burkhart. Burial will
be made in St. John’s cemetery in Miltonsburg by the Brubach funeral

Mr. Brubach of South Main street was instantly killed Saturday evening
[23 Jun 1945] near Pine Grove, W. Va., in a truck accident. The truck was
driven by Roy Dalrymple who escaped injury. The car failed to make a turn
and hit a barn and telephone pole. Mr. Brubach was thrown from the truck
and received a broken neck.
He is survived by his wife, Irene Zwick Brubach, and four daughters,
Martha Jean, aged 11; Mary Jane, 9; Carolyn, 7; and Connie, fifteen months;
his mother, Rosa Burkhart Brubach of Miltonsburg; three sisters, Mrs. George
Calvert of Lewisville Route 2; Mrs. Louis O’Connell of Miltonsburg and Mrs.
Herbert Hall of Woodsfield, and by three brothers, Albert Brubach of Bridgeport,
Ohio; Lawrence Brubach of Baltimore, Md., and Paul Brubach of Miltonsburg.
His father, J. W. Brubach, died July 10, 1934.
Twenty-one year old Irene Zwick did not live with her parents and younger siblings at the time of the 1930 census.
Living with her sister, Katie, in Strongsville, Cuyahoga County, Ohio in 2005. Grandson Steven Moore says:
It is really great to have grandma and Kate around to talk to.
Grandma had a stroke several years back and all her long
term memory came rushing back, while her short term mem-
ory is gone. I show her pictures or bring up a name and they
talk between themselves for a minute or two, then one of
them gives me the answer. Kate is hard of hearing and
grandma is not, so one yells at me for talking loud and one
yells at me for not talking loud enough. Between them we
have a riot.
