 Hoosier Democrat; Flora, Ind, Sat 7 Jan 1911
JACOB HUFFER DIES AT HIS HOME IN THIS CITY LAST TUESDAY

Jacob HUFFER was born in Augusta Co., Va., November 15, 1827 and died at his
home in Flora, Ind., January 3, 1910, at the age of 83 years, 1 month and 18
days. In 1853 he was married to Mary Ann DAGGY and to this union was born three
children. After a happy married life of eight years the home was broken by the
death of the mother. One daughter of the union survives.  

On April 10, 1862 he was united in marriage to Mary FLORA and this union was
blessed with ten children, and again after nineteen years of married life, death
claimed the mother and for the second time was left without a companion in the
world.  Of these ten children, five have preceded the father.  Those remaining
are Malinda VINEY, Lucinda MICHAEL, William, Chas. and Jacob [HUFFER] all of
these children being in Carroll county.  

On January 26, 1884, he was married to Dorcas ENISE and after one and one-half
years the father was left for the third time without a companion.

On March 19, 1894, he was married to Martha Ann MASONCUT who survives him. Thus
three companions and seven children have gone on before, leaving a companion,
six children, eighteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren to mourn this
their great loss.

Mr. Huffer united with the Salem Brethren Church near Burlington about 25 years
ago and remained loyal to the teachings of the church and uncompromising in the
faith of the gospel until the last.  The deceased came from Virginia to Clinton
county, Indiana in 1855, where he lived three years, after which he moved onto
the large farm in Burlington township where he spent the best  part of his life.
About five years ago he moved to Flora that he might spend his remaining days in
retirement. 

The funeral services were conducted yesterday (Friday) morning at 10:30 o'clock
from the Ball Hill M. E. church in charge of Rev. C. C. Grisso, the local
pastor, and Rev. H. M. Harley of the Burlington church.  Interment in Ball Hill
Cemetery.

Additional Comments:
I have seen some members of this family use HUFFORD spelling.
