Stutzman.-Barbara, daughter of Jacob and Fanny (Birkey) Stutzman*, was born at Milford, Nebr., Dec 18, 1887; died at the home of her daughter (Mrs. Donald Yoder), Kalona, Iowa, Oct. 6, 1948; aged 60 y. 9 m. 18 d. Death was caused by cancer. On Feb. 8, 1906, she was united in marriage to Alvin Stutzman, who preceded her in death on Dec. 29, 1942. One daughter (Fannie Mae) predeceased her in 1918. Surviving are one daughter (Nettie-Mrs. Donald Yoder, Kalona, Iowa), 5 grandchildren, her mother, 2 sisters (Mrs. Fred Yeackly and Mrs. Melvin Troyer both of Milford, Nebr.), one brother (Edward, also of Milford), and a number of other relatives and friends. In youth she accepted Christ and united with the Mennonite Church at Milford, Nebr., later transferring her membership to the East Union congregation, when she and her husband moved to Kalona in June, 1942; there she was a member until death. She was a devout Christian, kind and patient, and greatly loved her daughter and family. She endured her affliction patiently although she suffered a great deal, and was resigned to the Lord's will. Funeral services were held at the East Union Church, with D. J. Fisher and A. Lloyd Swartzendruber in charge. Burial was made in the East Union Cemetery.
*Note from a family researcher: "I believe it should read that she was the daughter of Jacob and Fanny (Birkey) Saltzman...... see DBH #10877."
