His wife was Loda Clyone Givens, who he married on August 26, 1907, in Waverly, Pike Co., OH.
They had one son Eugene Haskell Brust.
Lewis & his wife owned and operated a grocery store in Oklahoma City. As a child I spent time in that grocery store and I remember large barrels and big pickles! Lewis and his wife were very kind and nice people.

Pioneer Store Operator Dies While On Trip
