Stauffer. - Daniel Stauffer was born in Wayne Co., Ohio, May 30, 1839; died near Hubbard, Oreg., Aug. 7, 1928; aged 89 y. 2 m. 8 d. While quite young his parents moved to Berne, Ind.
He was united in holy matrimony with Rosa Schumacher Sept. 5, 1869, who preceded him in death on Sept. 9, 1922. Immediately after their marriage they moved to near Morrison, Ill., where they lived for about 33 years. In the spring of 1905 they moved with their daughter and family to Hubbard, Oreg., and have since resided in that vicinity.
To this union was born one daughter, Mrs. Anna West, with whom he resided at the time of his death.
He leaves to mourn his departure one daughter, six grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and many relatives and friends.
In his younger years he united with the Mennonite Church of which he was a faithful member until death. He was confined to his bed nearly eleven weeks. During his illness as well as in health he spent much time in meditating upon God and leaves a blessed assurance of the eternal hope. He loved to read God's Word daily as long as health permitted. He was a lover of music and in his younger years spent much time in the evening with his wife and daughter singing; and during his illness when brethren came to visit him and sing for him he would try to sing with them. During his illness he often expressed a desire that the Lord would soon call him home.
By his request in former years Bro. Fred Gingerich had charge of the funeral services, assisted by Bros. E. Z. Yoder, S. S. Baumgartner, and N. L. Hershberger. Services were held at the Zion Church. Text, Rev. 14:13. Burial at the Hopewell cemetery, beside his wife.
