Death of Christian Brumbaugh.

  Our Fredericksburg correspondent writes: Christian Brumbaugh, whose 
illness has been mentioned several times in these columns, breathed his 
last on Sunday morning.  He was born March 19, 1818, and had reached 
the age of 73 years and 17 days.  He had been ailing all winter, but 
having improved, went out some ten days ago, when his disease returned 
with fatal result.  Mr. Brumbaugh was a farmer by occupation, a good 
neighbor and a kind friend, always willing to lend a helping had 
wherever needed.  He was a consistent Christian, highly esteemed by all 
who knew him.  He leaves a wife, a son, George H., who resides on the 
farm, and his two daughters - Mrs. Elizabeth Baker and Mrs. Mary 
Wineland, who live near Martinsburg.  The funeral will take place at 10 
o'clock this morning.  Services in the Dunkard church, of which he was 
a member.  Interment in the family burying ground on the farm.
