Daniel Stutzman

  The sudden death of Daniel Stutzman at his home in Croyle township 
near Mineral Point Thursday forenoon was caused by heart failure with 
which he had been more or less troubled ever since his service in the 
Union army during the Civil War.
  Daniel Stutzman was a son of Jacob and Lydia Hilderband Stutzman, 
deceased, and was born in Upper Yoder township, this county, on the 
farm now occupied by John K. Miller and family.  Jacob Stutzman died 
December 23, 1863 and his wife in 1884.  Daniel Stutzman was a brother 
of George W. Stutzman of Johnstown; David of Ohio; Benjamin of Braddock 
and Samuel of California.   
  Miss Mary Ellen Cobaugh and Daniel Stutzman were married a long time 
ago and located in Croyle Township soon afterward.  Besides his wife, 
Mr. Stutzman is survived by the following children:  Frederick of 
Conemaugh; Jacob A., who is engaged in business at Conemaugh; Ellen, 
wife of Bart Burket of Clearfield County; May, wife of Roy Stiffler of 
Croyle Township; Mrs. Susan Byers of near Vinco, and Kate, wife of  
Jordon Grove of Croyle Township.  Mrs. Sadie Baumgardner, who died at 
Geistown four years ago, was also a daughter of Daniel Stutzman.
  Daniel Stutzman was one of the best citizens of Cambria county. He 
was a lifelong member of the Brethren church and gave the ground for 
its church to the Brethren congregation that worships in the Mt. Union 
church near his home.  He was a staunch Republican and was for many 
years, President of the Croyle Township School Board.  He served two 
enlistments in the Union army during the rebellion, being with Sherman 
and on his famous march to the sea.
  The funeral took place at 10 o'clock Sunday morning when services 
were held at the Mt. Union church, the remains being laid to rest in 
the church cemetery.
