Brubaker - Margaret E, beloved wife of John A Brubaker, departed this life at her home near Rockton, Clearfield Co, Pa, on the morning of Nov 23, 1892.
The deceased was a daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Schofield, and was born at Colb Creek [Cobb's Creek, just south of Ardmore ~ed.,JB], Delaware Co, Pa., Oct 14th, 1841. She was united in marriage to John A Brubaker, May 14, 1865, Pre. Alex McCloud officiating.
Two sons and a daughter blessed this union.
The heavenly smile that lit up her face just before she passed away has called to mind the following poem:
Christus Consolaton
Beside the dead I knelt in prayer, and felt a presence as I prayed,
Lo! it was Jesus standing there. He smiled: "Be not afraid!"
Lord thou hast conquered death, we know; Restore again to life, I said,
This one who died an hour ago, he smiled: "She is not dead!"
Asleep then, as thyself didst say; yet thou canst lift the lids that keep,
Her prisoned eyes from ours away! He smiled: "She doth not sleep!"
Nay then, though happily she do awake and look upon some fairer dawn,
Restore her to our hearts that ache! He smiled: "She is not gone!"
Alas! as well we know our loss, nor hopes again our joy to touch.
Until the stream of death we cross, He smiled: "There is no such."
Yet our beloved seems so far, the while we yearn to feel them near,
Albeit with Thee we trust they are, He smiled, "And I am here."
Dear Lord how shall we know that they still walk unseen with us and Thee,
Nor sleep nor wander far way, He smiled: "Abide in me."
