“DEATH CLAIMS J. A. HOFFMAN
John Adam Hoffman, retired farmer, was called by death at his home, 856 South Main street, at 5:30 Monday night, following an illness of two and-one half years, caused by injuries sustained while working at the Royer dairy here. He was bedfast for the past six weeks.
Mr. Hoffman was born at Ragersville, Ohio, January 15, 1853, aged at time of death 73 years, 8 months and 19 days. He was a son of Frederick and Louisa Hoffman, pioneer settlers of this county. When a small boy he moved with his parents to Winesburg, where he was reared to young manhood. Later the family moved south of Orrville, where he was engaged in farming until thirteen years ago, when he moved to Orrville where he has since resided.
Mr. Hoffman was a quiet unassuming man and was a very successful and prosperous farmer. He was quite prominent in activities of the community where he resided for many years.
On December 16, 1875, he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Saurer, in Orrville, by Rev. Strassner. To this union were born nine children, five daughters and four sons; one daughter, Ella Viola, died when but 14 months old. Surviving him are the widow, four daughters, Mrs. Louisa Denbrook, of Kenmore; Mrs. Amos Moser, of Marshallville; Mrs. Della Amstutz, south of Orrville; and Mrs. Elmer Beck, of Orrville; four sons, Albert, Elmer and Clarence Hoffman, of Kenmore; and Leonard Hoffman, of Barberton. He is also survived by two brothers, Gottlieb {Godlip} Hoffman, Oregon; and C. Hoffman, Orrville; and one sister, Mrs. Louisa Myers, Holmesville; twenty-three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Mr. Hoffman was a fine christian man, not only professing his faith, but living it in every-day life. He united with the Reformed church in 1877 and remained a devoted christian at time of death. He greatly enjoyed the pastoral calls of his minister, Rev. Scherry, and those calls were a source of consolation to him.
Funeral services were held at the home this Thursday afternoon at one o’clock, and at two o’clock at the Reformed church, conducted by Rev. A. L. Scherry. Burial in Crown Hill cemetery.”
