History :

Charles married in 1894 Ella Flora Riel (1870-1958). Their house and large farm building were located beside North Kenova Road where Olde Farm Subdivision is today. The Brubaker pasture rose up and over the high ridge behind the house. The nearby property was farmland and orchard. A larger tract covered an area from the N&W tracks along Solida Road to, and a little beyond, the point where Brubaker Drive intersects Solida near Ninth Street and upriver several hundred yards. Much of the area was occupied by apple orchards. Charles was, as his cousin William, a deacon at the First Baptist Church. Charles and Ella's children were Wilmer Arnold who married Priscilla Cole; Gertrude Agnes, who married Howard Ferguson; Marjorie who married Kirker Adams; Fenton  who married Rachel Louise Fisher; Catherine who married Marshall Ankrim; Helen who married Max Davidson; and Lena Henrietta, who married Austin Jenkins.  Gertrude and Howard Ferguson's children are Mary Ella Louise Mann, Howard Theodore II, and Helen Wentz (more details in Chapter Three concerning the Ferguson-Range Davidsond scendancy); Marjorie and Kirker Adams' children are Patricia Bailey, Robert (Bob) Adams (former member of the village Board of Public Affairs), Joe, and Joanne Fennell; Fenton and Louise Brubaker's children are Lois Ann Lemley, Charles Arthur, David George, Nell Rose Phipps; Catherine and Marshall Ankrim's children are Marshall Neil and Jane; Helen and Max Davidson's (more details in Chapter Three concerning descendancy from Ranger Davidson) children are Arnold and Marie Jordan; Henrietta and Austin Jenkins' child is Sara Gordan.
