Annie Trusler Brumfiel - 2nd wife of Daniel Brumfiel (3-10-1841 - 1915)

Daniel Brumfield spent his life as a farmer on the farm in Jackson township where the Harrys are now living. He erected a handsome and substantial home and had a good farm of one hundred and thirty-one acres there and another tract of good farm land at Mt. Zion. In addition to his general farming, he gave much attention to the raising of pure-bred live stock, with particular reference to Aberdeen cattle, and did very well in his operations, long having been regarded as one of the most substantial and progressive farmers in that part of the county. His wife, Hannah White, who was born in Waterloo township, a daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Boyd) White, died on February 5, 1884, leaving two daughters, Mrs. Harry having a sister, Mrs. Clara Lockhart, of Connersville. Daniel Brumfield later married Anna Trusler, also a native of this county, born in Jackson township, a daughter of Milton and Isabel Trusler, and to that union was born one child, a son, Daniel Milton Brumfield, who is now living at Iowa City, an instructor in Iowa University. Daniel Brumfield died on August 29, 1915. His wife, Anna, had preceded him to the grave about two years, her death having occurred in 1913. They were members of the Universalist church and Mr. Brumfield was a member of the Everton lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Daniel Brumfield was born on March 10, 1841, and his early schooling was obtained in the little log school house near Smallwood, his teacher having been the late John Lockhart. He later entered the seminary near Knightstown and finished the course there. He was twenty-one years of age when he married and he and his wife started housekeeping in a cottage on the place where Walter Neff now lives and there their daughter Rosella was born. In 1865 he bought the Jarvis Ball place, where his daughter Clara was born, and in 1875 erected the present house on that place. There he spent the remainder of his life. He was an active, energetic man and did much toward the general development of that part of the county in which he lived so long.
