To Choate Post 66, dept. of Ohio, G. A. R.: your committee appointed to draft Resolutions of Respect to the memory of our deceased Comrade, Wm. D. Brubaker, have the honor to report the following:

Our late Comrade, Wm. D. Brubaker, was one of the first patriots to respond to the call of the President for help in the late civil war. He enlisted as a private in Co. F. 14th O. V. I., April 19th, 1861, and served through that memorable campaign in West Va., and was mustered out with his Regt. August 31st, 1861. He again enlisted in October, 1861, as a Sergt., in Co. F. 68th O. V. I., and served faithfully until January, 1863, when he was discharged for disability, having contracted lung disease from which he never recovered, and from which he finally died January 10th, 1887. Comrade Brubaker was one of our most substantial citizens, and one of "God's noblemen." You "knew him but to love him." He was loyal when loyalty meant something and cost something. He was a loving husband and father, a kind and generous friend and a warm hearted and true comrade. He was mustered into Choate Post by the Post Commander May 15th, 1885, and was mustered out by our Grand Commander above, January 10th, 1887. He has gone to join that innumerable throng of grand old patriots, who have laid down the musket and the sword of battle here below to take up the harp and the lute in that land where there are no more wars, no more sorrows nor tears, but all is joy and peace for ever more. Let us keep his memory ever green in our hearts, and so live that as time rolls on and we too shall have fought our battles through and be laid to rest, we may be prepared and fitted to meet and rejoice with him around the camp fire that never grows dim, but grows brighter and brighter as the circle round it grows larger and larger until all of the old Grand Army shall be once more reunited, and a new song and a new name shall be given us. Resolved, That we tender to the stricken and bereaved family of our deceased comrade, our deepest sympathy, and remind them that "God tempers the winds to the shorn lambs."

Resolved, That the Post rooms be draped in mourning for 30 days, and that a copy of these preamble and resolutions be sent to the family of our late comrade, and be furnished the Napoleon newspapers for publication. F.M. Rummell, Samuel Martin, Henry Kolbe -- Committee.
