Publication note

This picture accompanies an article written by Barbara Coffman about the Brubacher family, that appeared in the journal "Mennonite Community" in 1951. The family's father, Abner, had died some nine years earlier, in 1942, and Coffman was writing about how the family had managed to remain together and thrive. They had moved to Vineland from their farm south of New Hamburg in 1945.
