Huffman Sarah Elizabeth, daughter of John and Harriet Rider, was born on a farm near Roseville, Muskingum Co., Ohio, Aug. 23, 1844 and passed away at the Mercy Hospital at St. Joseph, Missouri on October 14th, 1928, at the age of 84 years, 1 month, 21 days. The following is Mrs. Huffman’s own autobiography: I lived in Muskingum county until the year of 1855, the year of the great western movement. My father, imbued with the western fever, with some of his old neighbors, started with teams and wagons for the then “golden west” where we arrived the last day of Oct. 1855 and settled on a farm 12 miles north of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Here I attended school and at 15 years of age was converted and joined the M. E. church to which I have always belonged. When 17 years of age I taught my first school, thereafter teaching in summer time and attending school during the winter part of that time in Mt. Pleasant. On Jan. 30th, 1866, I was married to O. H. Huffman of Ashland county, Ohio. To this union were born two sons, Friend L., March 2nd, 1867 and Herbert Theron, Feb. 19th, 1871, in Ringgold county, Iowa, where we lived until the boys were married and went to homes of their own. On Jan. 29th, 1900, O. H. Huffman passed on, leaving me alone. In 1920 Friend passed over which leaves only Bert and me of my family. Of course the boys have their families-- Friend, three, and Bert, five, and they in turn have families of their own. I am going “where the flowers are ever blooming and the skies are always bright.” I shall not be in the casket but up and far away in the elysian fields. Goodbye my friends and neighbors, I will be looking for you—don’t disappoint me.” The funeral service was held on Thursday afternoon at the Methodist Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. E. S. MacCartney. Interment was in the cemetery at Benton. Contributor: Julia Johnson
