He had been in poor health for several years, but latterly he seemed to have been considerably improved, a neighbor who saw him pass by his window even Sunday morning, remarked how well he looked. He had a slight attack Sunday forenoon. In the afternoon another more severe, and from that on he grew worse until death came to his relief. John Stauffer was born in Switzerland, June 5, 1848, came to America in May, 1866. He lived the first summer in Olney, Illinois, engaged in farming; moved to Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, in the fall of 1866, where he attended school and was engaged as clerk in a mercantile house until he came to Nebraska in the spring of 1868. He engaged one year as a clerk in a grocery in Omaha, then went to what was known as Jackson, now Duncan, the first station on the Union Pacific, west of this city, and built a store building, which was the first house in the town. In the mercantile business for a year there, he then removed to this city where he has since resided. He was married in May, 1872, to Miss Eliza Blazer, who was, like himself, a native of Switzerland. He was appointed county clerk in the fall of 1876; held the position until the expiration of the term and was elected to the same office in the fall of 1877. He held the office thirteen years and a few months. He then was cashier of the Columbus State Bank until his health began to fail. Mr. Stauffer was a charter member of the Columbus Maennerchor, its first president, and holding the office some seven years. He was one of their best bass singers. He was a member of the Modern Woodman, Royal Arcanum, I.O.O.F. and Knights of Pythias, the funeral services being conducted by the K.P. Mr. Stauffer's life insurance, through these societies and the New York Life amount to $11,500. He was one of the organizers of the Columbus Cornet Band, twenty-two years ago, and, rather strange to say, his is the first death among all the membership. He leaves his widow and children John, Anna, Bertha, Rosa and Martha. Funeral services will be held in the opera house at 2 o'clock Wednesday, December 11, Rev. DeGellar and H.J. Hudson making the remarks. There was probably never a gentler, kindlier spirit in human kind than animated John Stauffer. He was everybody's friend. Never man more regardful of the feelings of others, or more sensitive to their good opinion. Devoted to family and friends, he was not unmindful of his relations to the community at large, in the welfare of which he took a lively interest. He has gone the way of all the earth, and his departure to the spirit world will be universally mourned by his acquaintances. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community in their affliction. ------------------------------------------- from the web site: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topic/resources/OLLibrary/Platte/pages/bios/hpcn0171.htm John Stauffer was born in Switzerland on June 5, 1848, and came to America in May, 1866.
