Buzzard - On the 26th of August, 1890, in Harrison Tp, Elkhart County, Ind, of hernia, of which she suffered about a week, Anna Loucks, wife of John Buzzard, Sr, aged 61 y, and 3 days.

She had been to visit her father, Bro Peter Loucks, who is confined to his bed with sickness, and on her return home was suddenly taken with the malady which ended her life.

She was married to David D Swope, Feb 15th 1846, who died in the month of May, probably in 1878, in Hardin Co, Ohio with whom she had six children, four of whom are still living.

On the 14th of December, 1886, she was married to her sorrowing husband, who now in his old age for the third time, is called to mourn the loss of a dear companion. May God give him grace and sustain him in his bereavement.

In her life Sister Buzzard manifested a devoted Christian Spirit, and we have reason to believe her life "was hid with Christ in God," and the dear husband and children, the father and brother and sisters whom she leaves to the conflicts of this present life yet a while longer, may comfort themselves with the hope that she has gone to the better home above.

The burial took place at Yellow Creek, on Thursday afternoon Aug 28th, where a large concourse of friends were assembled. Services were conducted by D Burkholder, Noah Metzler and J F Funk, from I Cor 15:54-57.

*** her 2nd husband John Buzzard ...

Buzzard - On the 14th of April 1897, in Harrison Twp, Elkhart Co, Ind, of paralysis, Bro John Buzzard, aged 85 years, 3 months and 29 days.

He was born in Northampton Co, Pa., on the 15th of December 1811. He moved to Ohio in 1835, and from there he went to Elkhart Co, Ind, in 1849, where he resided to the time of his death.

He united with the Mennonite church early in life and was a faithful member and a pillar in the church, loved and respected by all who knew him. He was well read, and especially well versed in the Scriptures. He often wrote articles for the HERALD OF TRUTH, and occasionally translated hymns.

The hymn No 307 in the Allgemeine Leidersammlung, a translation of "On Jordan's stormy banks I stand," was made by Bro Buzzard, and is one of the best of the many translations of that hymn made. He was a decided Mennonite and always stood strong and firm for the doctrines and the maintenance of the order of the church.

His children and grandchildren have in him a worthy example of unwavering fidelity to his church, and of an earnest, devoted life of piety and love to God and the teachings of His word. For many years he was looking forward to the time of his departure. Often when the younger persons were called away by death, he remarked, "Why could they who were young and vigorous, and who were needed so much, and who could still do much good, not have been spared. If it would have pleased the Lord to take me, who am old and worn out and no longer able to be useful." But the time of waiting is fulfilled. Our aged brother who for a long time has been ready, has finished his course, fought the good fight, kept the faith, and is now gone, as we hope and trust, to receive his crown and be with the Lord forever. Funeral services were conducted by Joseph S Lehman and Noah Metzler.
