[E1723] CONRAD4 BRUMBAUGH ([E1701] Daniel3, [E3] Conrad2, Johannes Henrich1) m Mary Jacobs of Dayton, O. He was a farmer and moved from Elkhart Co., Ind., to Guthrie Co., Iowa, Oct., 1849, and there continued to live until his d in 1878; his s, [E1829] Henry5, and grandson, [E2133] George6, live upon the same farm. Conrad4 favored the G. B. B. Ch., but is said never to have identified himself with any religious body.

"Conrad Brumbaugh was a settler of the year 1850 (spring), coming to this locality from Pape Co., Ind. He was a native of O.--there m Mary Jacobs. His family were originally of German extraction. When he reached this county he located on Sec. 32 (160 a), where he opened up one of the finest farms in the township (Cass). May 19, 1859, his w d--the second person to d in the township. Mr. Brumbaugh d Nov., 1874, and his s Henry lives on the old homestead."a

"In the dim twilight of a May evening in 1851 a solitary emigrant wagon halted at the cabin of Conrad Brumbaugh and a little band of travelers, consisting of a man, his wife and two ch., weary and travel-worn, were welcomed to a home as hospitable as kind hearts and ready hearts could make it. These more than welcome guests were Asa Cox and family, who had come west to seek a home.

"Mr. Brumbaugh fortunately had two cabins on his claim, one of which he generously offered them, rent free, as long as they desired to occupy it. Of this kind offer Mr. Cox availed himself, remaining in the cabin until 1853. In 1852 Mr. Cox erected the residence now occupied by Lewis Harvont, which was the second house built in Panora.

"While they yet lived on Mr. Brumbaugh's place, the two families possessed one cow in common; one would milk her in the morning and the other in the evening. Panooch and Des Moines supplied these settlers with groceries and dry goods. They frequently walked to Panora, a distance of 25 miles, for goods which they carried upon their backs or drew upon handsleds. This was a lonesome walk, as there was but one cabin, in 1851, between Panooch and the present site of Panora. For flour and meal they went below Winterset and the Fort (Des Moines), and like all the old settlers, when they ran ashore, they ground their grain upon hand mills and coffee mills."b
