Read More	A Double Funeral Stoltzfus & Stoltzfus On Nov 23d, 1896, near West Liberty, Logan Co, Ohio, Bro David S Stoltzfus departed this life at the age of 43 years, 6 months and 12 days. About eight hours later at the same place, his aged mother-in-law, Sister Lydia H Stoltzfus, followed him to the world beyond, at the age of 76 years, 3 months and 5 days. She was born in Mifflin Co, Pa and was the widow of Deacon Christian Stoltzfus, who lived and died in Union Co, Pa. She was a member of the Amish Mennonite church from her youth, and was a model Christian woman and a lover of the Bible. She was fully resigned to the will of God. Bidding farewell to her loved ones she anxiously waited for the end and died with a full assurance of the life beyond. Bro Stoltzfus was born in Lancaster Co, Pa, and was united in married to Lizzie Stoltzfus, Dec 11th, 1879. On June 17th, 1883, he was ordained to the ministry in the Amish Mennonite church in Union Co, Pa, which position he faithfully filled until death. In 1885 he moved to Lyon Co, Kansas. In 1891 to Logan Co, Ohio. He was an earnest Christian, highly respected by his neighbors, a kind father and a loving companion. He leaves a wife and five daughters and a large circle of friends to mourn his early departure; one son preceded him to the heavenly home. How sad to see a father taken from his family in the prime of life and yet how consoling that he has left sufficient evidence to prove that he is at rest. How comforting it is to be at the bedside of one who is so ready, and looking forward with pleasure to the time of meeting the Savior and hearing the welcome tidings, "Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Pneumonia was the cause of both deaths. The funeral services were held at the Oak Grove meeting house, Champaign Co, on Thanksgiving Day, where an unusually large audience assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed Bro and Sister. And when the bereaved sister and family came to the caskets, that were placed side by side, and took the last long look at the mother and husband, the scene was indeed sad and we believe the hardest heart present was moved in sympathy. Services were conducted in German by Pre David Plank and in English by Pre Abednego Miller from Phil 1:21. Interment in the Hooley cemetery. S E A Herald of Truth Vol XXXIV, No 1 1 January 1897
