HOFFMAN—At his home near Adaville, Iowa, Saturday, December 3, 1904, Edward Hoffman, aged 68 years, 10 months and 29 days. It had been the intention of Mr. Hoffman to join an Akron party on a trip to California, Saturday, but he was taken sick that morning and Dr. Cilley was summoned from Akron. He was found to be suffering with acute toxic gastritis, but there was no indication of a fatal termination until toward evening, when there evidently occurred the rupture of a blood vessel, and the end came very suddenly. Deceased was born- January 2, 1836. Was married August 3, 1860, to Miss Harriet Jane McKeel, at White Cloud, Donaphin County, Kansas, who died October 15, 1890.

In 1870, thirty-four years ago, Mr. Hoffman took a homestead on the south half of section thirty-six, Westfield township, this county on the banks of the Broken Kettle, where for years he farmed with such success as to amass a comfortable fortune. That has since remained his home, except for a brief residence in Akron about two years ago. Ed. Hoffman was one of the best known farmers in western Plymouth County, and is counted as one of the pioneers that broke the virgin soil and contributed to the up building of this great agricultural commonwealth. A large concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors followed the remains and assembled in the church at Adaville, where Rev. A. C. Blackman, of Akron, preached the funeral sermon. Interment was made in the nearby cemetery.
