Mr. Duttweiler was united in marriage to Sarah Elizabeth Allred, June 2, 1879 and resided on a farm near Merrimac until 1906 when they moved to Wayland, Iowa and operated a very successful hotel for two years, after which they came to Pleasant Plain and settled on a small fruit farm where they had remained until a few weks (sic. weeks) ago when they decided to spend the winter with their children. They first made their home with the youngest daughter, Mrs. Lydia Donovan, Fairfield, then went to Leavenworth to the home of the son. To this union was born five children, all of which survive, except one dying in infancy. Those left to mourn his loss beside the widow, three daughters, Mrs. Emma Williams, Mt. Pleasant, Mrs. Mary Duttweiler, Brighton, Mrs. Lydia Donovan, Fairfield, one son Henry Frederick, Leavenworth, Kansas, also one brother Louis of Lockridge and thirteen grand children and a host of friends. He was confirmed in the Lutheran church at Germanville in his boyhood and had remained a member through his life. He was well liked by all who had the opportunity of knowing him, especially among his neighbors, as he was always willing to lend a helping hand. Funeral services were held from English Lutheran church Fairfield with Rev. George G. Parker officiating. Interment in Evergreen cemetery. ------------------ ------------------ Note: this bio stated the DOB year as 1850, but the headstone inscription uses 1849. Am using the DOB as Nov. 30, 1849 pending any clarification that can otherwise be documented. There were no birth records in Iowa in the mid-1800's, and biographies such as this one sometimes relied on information supplied by family and friends that had name and date errors (such as the first name of his father and the DOD's for both parents), so trying to reconcile the exact birth year may not be possible. Census reports may round off by one year, so may not be of much credible help in this case. > From the “History of Jefferson County, Iowa” – 1912, Volume II, Pages 421-422 WILLIAM H. DUTTWEILER “William H. DUTTWEILER, owning and cultivating a fine farm of seventeen acres within the corporation limits of Pleasant Plain, has remained a resident of Jefferson county from his birth to the present time and has devoted his time and energies to agricultural pursuits throughout his active business career. He was born in Walnut township, on the 30th of November, 1850, his parents being Lewis and Sarah (HETZEL) DUTTWEILER, the former a native of Germany and the latter of Greene county, Ohio. Lewis DUTTWEILER crossed the Atlantic to the United States when a youth of eighteen years, locating in Ohio, where he worked as a farm hand for several years and was likewise employed in a sawmill. In 1840 he came to Jefferson county, Iowa, entered eighty acres of land in Walnut township and undertook the task of clearing and improving the property. As his financial resources increased, owing to his untiring industry and capable management, he purchased an additional tract of forty acres in Walnut township and later bought a farm of seventy acres in Lockridge township, whereon he made his home until called to his final rest in 1891 (sic. Jul. 31, 1889). The period of his residence in this county covered more than a half century and in his passing the community lost one of its respected pioneer agriculturists. The demise of his wife occurred in 1878 (sic. Jul. 4, 1877). William H. DUTTWEILER obtained his education in the district schools of Jefferson county and remained under the parental roof until twenty-four years of age. He then devoted his attention to the cultivation of rented land for fifteen years and at the time of his father’s death came into possession of the latter’s farm of seventy acres in Lockridge township. After he had improved the property to quite an extent he was attacked by rheumatism and suffered therefrom for ten years. At the end of that time he again resumed the active work of the fields, operating his farm in Lockridge township until 1905. In that year he sold the place and purchased seventeen acres of land within the corporation limits of Pleasant Plain, paying five thousand dollars for the property. The farm is well improved in every particular and the well tilled fields readily respond to the care and labor which is bestowed upon them. Mr. DUTTWEILER has won a gratifying measure of prosperity in his undertakings as an agriculturist and has long been numbered among the substantial and esteemed citizens of his native county. In July, 1878, Mr. DUTTWEILER was united in marriage to Miss Sarah ALLRED, a daughter of James and Mary (CUMMINS; sic. Cummings)) ALLRED. The father took up his abode in Henry county, Iowa, at an early day and followed farming as a life work. He also ran a ferry boat on the Skunk river. His demise occurred in 1864, while his wife, long surviving him, passed away in Missouri, on the 29th of November, 1901. Mr. and Mrs. DUTTWEILER have four children, as follows: Emma, the wife of John WILLIAMS, a carpenter of Mount Pleasant, Iowa; Mary, residing in Walnut township, who is the wife of Rapier DUTTWEILER, a second cousin; and Lydia and Henry F., both at home. Mr. DUTTWEILER gives his political allegiance to the democratic party, and has served as road supervisor of Lockridge township for two years. His fraternal relations are with the Yeomen, while his religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Lutheran church, to which his wife also belongs. In social relations he is held in the highest regard and has a circle of friends almost coextensive with the circle of his acquaintances.”
