From "Commemorative Biographical Record of Northeastern Pennsylvania"
by F. W. Beers in 1900:

BEGIN

  Joseph K. Brugler, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Rush
township, Susquehanna county, has had considerable experience in agricultural
pursuits, to which he now devotes his time and attention, and is a man of
good business capacities, public-spirited and liberal, and in all respects
a valued member of society.
  Mr. Brugler was born in Warren county, N. J., May 6, 1849, a son of
Samuel and Latishia (Linaberry) Brugler, also natives of that county,
the former born in August, 1821, the latter in 1825.  In 1859 they came
to Susquehanna county, Penn., and located on a farm in Auburn township,
where they still continue to reside.  In their family were the following
children:  Peter J., a farmer of Auburn township; Joseph K., our subject;
Jerris, a farmer of Fairdale, Jessup township, Susquehanna county; Judson,
a grocer of Oliphant, Penn.; Libby, deceased wife of Henry Young; and Katie,
wife of William Stevens, of Peckville, Pennsylvania.
  The boyhood and youth of Joseph K. Brugler was passed on the home farm.
In Auburn township, he united in marriage with Miss Angeline Crissman, and
although they have no children of their own, they have given homes to four,
three of whom they have reared to man and womanhood, while the fourth died
at the age of six years.  Mrs. Brugler is also a native of Warren county,
N. J., and is the daughter of Nelson and Matilda Crissman, who were born
in Warren county.  Mr. Brugler continued to assist in the operation of the
home farm until thirty-three years of age, and for four years engaged in
farming upon a rented farm in Auburn township, after which he purchased his
present place in Rush township.  To its further improvement and cultivation
he has since devoted his energies with most gratifying results and has become
quite well-to-do.  He is a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and a pronounced Democrat in politics.
