Mrs. Sarah Huffman, aged 95 years, 4 months, and 14 days, reached the end of a long and useful life at the home of her son, J. W. Huffman, 10 miles southwest of Hennessey, Monday morning, Feb. 16th. Despite her advanced age, the deceased seemed as spry and full of life as usual until ten days before her death, when she took to her bed after a fall. She never arose and gradually weakened until death resulted at 11:30 Monday. The funeral services were held at Harmony church Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock Rev. Paul Larsen preaching the funeral sermon from the text" "If a Man Dies Shall He Live Again." The funeral was largely attended. Interment was made in the Harmony cemetery. The deceased is survived by one sister, six sons, 31 grandchildren, 64 great grandchildren and 5 great great grandchildren.
An obituary will be published next week.

Sarah Barnes Huffman was born in Harrison County, West Virginia in 1818, residing there until her 16th year, when she moved with her parents to Richland County, now a portion of Crawford County, Ohio. They located near Crestline. In the spring of 1837 she was married to Jacob Huffman [other sources state 18 Apr 1839]and five years later moved with her husband to Miami Indian Reservation in the Northwest portion of Wabash County, Indiana.
In February 1850 they moved to Miami County, Indiana, locating near Bunker Hill and in 1856 sold out and moved to Fulton County, locating in Henry Township. It was there that Mr. Huffman's death occurred in 1865. Five years later, in the spring of 1870, she sold the place to her son Jacob and moved to Warren County to be with her two youngest sons. Four years after, in company with her two sons and her brother, Ely Barnes, she migrated to Butler County, Kansas, which was then considered the far west, and located 16 miles east of Wichita, Kansas. After residing there for a year, she moved to Sumner County, Kansas with her youngest son, Norman Biglow, and filed on a homestead, which she afterwards proved up and sold to her son Isaiah. In the spring of 1876 her four sons, George, Henry, John and William joined her, all settling in the same neighborhood. After disposing of her homestead to Isaiah, she cared for the four children of her eldest son, George, who were left motherless by his wife's death on February 12, 1879, raising the children successfully in addition to attending to the household duties which she assumed. In 1886 she went to Salida, Colorado, where she mothered two motherless children of her son, Isaiah.
After spending seven years caring for his home and raising the two children, she returned to Oklahoma for a visit with her son, John, remaining for several years. After returning East for a visit of several years with her eldest daughter, Catherine, about five years ago she returned to the home of her son John W. Huffman, where she remained until her death February 16, 1914.
The deceased was the eldest of eleven children, five boys and six girls. She is survived by one daughter and six sons. Catherine, her eldest daughter, died at age 70, a grandmother.
The eldest son, George, a resident of Grigsby(later Grigston), Kansas, will be 74 on April 23rd. The next eldest, Jacob a resident of Ponca Springs, Colo was 70 the 16th of November. John of Hennessey, Oklahoma was 68 the 8th of February; William of Monticello, Utah will be 66 on the 12th of March; Isaiah of Monte Vista, Colorado was 62 on September 9th; the youngest Norman of Rochester, Indiana was 56 the 15th of November.
Besides the sons and daughter, 31 grandchildren, 64 great grand children and five great great grandchildren will mourn her passing.
A pioneer in many states and the mother of pioneers. A busy useful life has ended, but the memory of her many kind acts and deeds and her loving motherly care will be cherished for years to come by those she loved.
NOTE:
The above named Sarah Barnes Huffman is buried in Harmony Cemetery about ten miles southwest of Hennessey, Oklahoma. Her granddaughter, Ora Huffman Thorp, eldest child of John Wesley Huffman and Mary Schindler Huffman, and husband Vincent Thorp are also buried in this cemetery.
