BERNARD J. AND ANNA M. BRUCHER FAMILY

Ben Brucher and Anna Novak were married in 1920. That same year they moved to the Schwartz Farm where Naperville North High School is now located. They raised their family there- the children’s names were Walter, Bernard, Raymond, Melvin and Audrey. In 1942, they moved their family to a farm near Warrenville and farmed there until their retirement in 1950.

Upon retiring, they moved back into the City of Naperville to spend their remaining years. The family was educated at the SS Peter & Paul Grade School and Naperville High School. All of the Brucher children still live in or near Naperville with their families.

Margaret Brucher, sister of Ben, lived with the family all of her life. At this date she is currently living at the Community Nursing and Convalescent Home on Mill Street in Naperville-born August 15, 1887.
