Stutzman, -- Barbara Ellen, daughter of Andrew and Barbara (Martin) Birky, was born near Oberlin, Kans., Dec. 20 , 1886; passed away in the Municipal Hospital, Tofield, Alta., April 29, 1952, of chronic leukemia; aged 65 y. 4 m. 9 d. When 9 years old she moved with her parents from Kansas to Nebraska where she grew to womanhood. At the age of 15 she accepted Christ as her Saviour and united with the Mennonite Church at Beemer, Nebr.; from the time of a later reconsecration she was an earnest worker in the cause of the Lord. On May 30, 1907, she was united in marriage to Milo D. Stutzman. She is survived by her husband and 3 daughters (Erma-Mrs. Harold Lauber, Verda-Mrs. Boyd Stauffer, and Fern-Mrs. Joe Roth, all of Tofield, Alta.), 2 sons (David and Nathan, Tofield, Alta.), 13 grandchildren, one great-grandchild, 5 sisters and 2 brothers. In August of 1911, she with her husband and family moved to Tofield, Alra., which remained her home until her passing. In November of 1914 her husband was ordained as a minister of the Gospel for the Salem congregation. Possibly her largest contribution to the work of the church was her self-sacrificing service as a minister's wife. Funeral services were held at the Salem Mennonite Church, Tofield, Alta., May 1 in charge of J. B. Stauffer, Clarence Ramer, and Stanley Shantz. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery.
