Retired Master Farmer, Community Leader Dies in Pennsylvania

Lancaster, Pa. — Levi H. Brubaker, prominent retired farmer and one of the founders of several church-sponsored institutions, died recently at the Village Vista Convalescent Home where he had been cared for the last several weeks of his life.

A resident of Lancaster, he and his wife had observed their 56th wedding anniversary in January of this year.

He was an eighth generation farmer in Lancaster County, and 34 years ago was named a Master Farmer. At the 1966 Pennsylvania State Farm Show he was cited for 51 years of service to the Pennsylvania Crop Reporting Service.

He was one of the founders of Philhaven Hospital, a psychiatric treatment center at Lebanon. He also was one of the founders and a member of the board of Landis Homes near Lititz. He had served as Sunday school superintendent at the Rohrerstown Mennonite Church, where his funeral was conducted.

Survivors include his wife, his step-mother, and three sons.
