Stoltzfus. - Lovina Plank Stoltzfus was born in Johnson Co., Iowa, May 30, 1894; died at her late home Northwest of Kalona, Ia., Oct. 6, 1928 at the age of 34 y. 4 m. 6 d. On Dec. 25, 1919, she was united in marriage to Aaron Stoltzfus, and to this union were born 3 children, Edna 7, Lester 5, and Ralph 3, who with their father are left to mourn the death of a loving and devoted mother and companion. Besides her immediate family she leaves her parents, Bro. and Sister George W. Plank, one sister, Mrs. Hermon Yoder, and a large number of near relatives and friends. She accepted Christ as her Savior in her youth, united with the Mennonite Church and was a consistent and faithful member until death. Her death was the result of infection from a ruptured blood vessel, caused by a fall two weeks ago. While her injury was not considered serious a physician was called and a nurse was in attendance, and seemingly she was on a satisfactory way to recovery. Thursday afternoon the nurse was dismissed, and Friday morning at 7:30 very unexpectedly and without a warning she peacefully fell asleep. Her death was a shock to all, as very few even knew of her injury, and always knew her as one enjoying the best of health. "But God willed it so". She will not only be missed in the home, but in the church and Sunday School, especially as teacher in her class, and in the community. Her friends will always remember her as one that made the world a little brighter, always having a smile and kind word for very one.

Funeral services were held from the East Union Mennonite Church Monday afternoon, conducted by Bros. Joe C. Brenneman and D. J. Fisher. Burial in the East Union Cemetery.
