When a small boy his folks moved to Ohio and he grew to manhood in Van Wert, Ohio. In 1884 he was married to Alice McQuown, who passed away in 1890. To this union were born two children, Mrs. Curtis Crouse, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, who has been in ill health and confined to her room for the past year, and Perry Bruckart of Antwerp, Ohio.

Mr. Bruckart was the oldest of seven children of whom three brothers, preceded him in death a number of, years ago. Three sisters still living; are Mrs. Mary Wilson, of Oildale, California, Mrs. Pluma Clayton of Erie, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Katie Leckrone, of Grass Lake, Michigan, all of whom were unable to be at the funeral because of ill health.
Mr. Bruckart moved from Ohio with his wife and family in 1915, to his farm home in Sheridan township,, where he worked hard in the fields which he loved, until the advancing years lessened his strength and he was forced to give up farming.
The last few years, he enjoyed his reading and was happy in the fact that he had regained his second eyesight, the Bible being his favorite reading material. Some twenty-five years ago he accepted the Christian way of life and was ready and waiting for his Master’s call.
He leaves to mourn their loss, besides the bereaved wife and children, his three sisters, sixteen grandchildren, eight great grandchildren and a host of other relatives and friends.
The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon, April 20, at 3:00 o'clock from the Thurston Funeral Home and burial was made in Cherry Grove cemetery beside his son, George.
Officiating at the funeral were Rev. Chas, Kleinhardt and Rev. M. R. Honderich.. Rev. Kleinhardt spoke words of comfort from the Scripture found in John 14-1-3, 19 and the text from John 16-22. "And ye now therefore have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.” Also he referred to John 12-24. Rev. Honderich spoke remarks of encouragement and prayed a consoling prayer both preceding the sermon and at the grave.
Mrs. Beulah and Jessie Kleiner, accompanied by Mrs. Helen Bay, sang beautifully the songs, “Abide With Me” and “In That City.”
Those attending the funeral from a distance were, Mr. and Mrs. Perry Bruckart and two daughters, the Misses Doris and Lois Bruckart, of Antwerp, Ohio; O. Curtis Crouse, of Ft. Wayne, Indiana; Mr, and Mrs. Henry Winters and Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Winters, of Delphos, Ohio; Mrs. Thurman Brookman and children, Mr. and Mrs. Roy McReynolds, Mr,. and Mrs. Clarence Hadfield, all of Flint; Mrs. Ida Durham, of Grand Ledge; and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Presley, of Midland.
