He was a son of Samuel Kauffman of the Brethren (Dunkard) denomination. In 1847, at the age of twenty years, he went to Juniata Co. Two years later he was married to Elisabeth Winey. To this union were born five sons and five daughters. In 1866 he moved to Elkhart Co., Ind., and in 1869 he went still farther west, settling in Morgan Co., Mo., where he resided up to the time of his death. Bro. Kauffman was active and enterprising as a business man, and his manly, independent industry was a noble example to his family and all who knew him, and his deep insight into things caused his advice to be much sought for. Nor was he less zealous in spiritual work. He united with the Mennonite denomination and for forty-six years he was an earnest and faithful soldier of the cross. In 1871 he was called to the ministry, and in 1875 he was ordained bishop. His career as a public servant of the church was not without many hardships and vicissitudes, but his sterling qualities as a man of rare moral courage and patience, and his strong faith and trust in God not only carried him through but served as a noble example to his flock and his fellow-laborers. Like Paul he was ready to battle with error, wherever he saw it. He reproved, rebuked, and exhorted, with all long suffering and doctrine (2 Tim. 4:2). His most anxious care of the closing years of his life were for the church, and he was indefatigable in his labors for her welfare, and as his last illness made it manifest that his stay on earth would be short, he seemed, with Paul, to be in a "strait betwixt two; having a desire to depart," yet feeling greatly the need of further work in the church. But God saw fit to call the laborer home to his reward. About eight months before his death he was afflicted with a cold which gradually developed into consumption and which brought his busy life to a close on the 4th of August 1896. He leaves a sorrowing wife, four sons and two daughters. His remains were laid to rest in the Mt. Zion graveyard, followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends. Funeral services by M. S. Moyer, W. W. Holtsapple and David Bowman. Text, 2 Tim. 4:7, 8.
