General Notes: Husband - Thomas F. Brungart


The Brungart School, near the old family homestead, furnished him his first educa­tional privileges. As he was but a child when his parents removed to Madisonburg he had the advantage of attending the schools there until the return of the family to the eastern end of Brush Valley, where he completed his studies, with the exception of a portion of one winter at Rebersburg. As there was always plenty of work to be done at home he never “worked out,” his father paying him wages after the age of twenty, and this arrangement was only inter­rupted by his marriage and settlement in a home of his own. Their first home was on a farm rented by his brother-in-law, James Corman, but later he rented the old Poorman farm, in Miles township, Centre County, where he re­mained about eleven years. In the spring of 1893, the homestead having been left vacant by the death of his parents, he settled there. He had in that estate 268 acres, and in another farm near Wolfs Store, known as the old Wolf Homestead, he had 147 acres more. While he did not do much manual labor, he supervised all the details of the work on his farm, and the results of his careful management were obvious.
He was a Lutheran, and was an active worker in the Church, having held office as deacon and treasurer. He was a prominent member of the Grange and in politics he was a Dem­ocrat, but never held office, preferring to devote his time to his own affairs.


General Notes: Wife - Emma Corman
