OBITUARY, Correctionville News, 29 August 1912: Mrs. D.W. Huffman died at her home Thursday, August 23, 1912, after a brief illness. This was a great shock to the whole community though it was known she was not in good health. A husband, eleven sons and three daughters mourn the loss of a loving wife and mother. The funeral services were held on Saturday conducted by Rev. Geo. Yotter and were largely attended. Burial was in the family lot in Fairview Cemetery.

From Anthon Webpage (contributed by family): MRS. D.W. HUFFMAN is Dead. Last Thursday morning Mrs. D.W. Huffman, five miles northwest of town, [Anthon] passed away (August 22, 1912) after an illness of several days. Her condition had not been considered alarming until a short time before she expired. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Rock Branch church, services were conducted by Rev. Chas. Yotter and interment made in the adjoining cemetery. The large concourse of people present at the funeral plainly told the high esteem in which this excellent lady was held by her neighbors and acquaintances. The church was by far too small to hold the crowd gathered to pay a last tribute to one who in life had made the world better for her having been a part of it. Almeda Louisa Rinehart was born at Peoria, Ill., Jan. 1, 1858. In 1865 she moved to Macedonia, Iowa, with her parents. Eleven years later she was united in marriage to D.W. Huffman, who with eleven sons and three daughters remain to mourn. One daughter died in infancy. All of the children but Harry and Albert of Elk Washington were at her bier. Three sisters, Mrs. M.D. Grooms of Anthon, Mrs. Rosealtha Plum of Henderson, Iowa and Mrs. Minnie Bivin of St. Edward, Nebraska are all that remains of her parents family. Mrs. Huffman's life was a tribute that cannot be added to or diminished. Her existence was spent for her family and what a noble sacrifice it was. Fourteen bright, strong children, everyone of whom possesses a clear mind and a strong physique. It is given to but very few mothers to thus honor the world; to give a life's work to such a noble cause; to bless humanity as she has done. The bereft family though bowed low with grief must feel a great gratitude and consolation that such a woman was their mother. She was a kind neighbor and found time in her busy life to lend a helping hand to those in need of succor.

There are only two of her 15 children who are not linked below, they are as follows:

Lydia Lucille Huffman Rogers b.4 Nov 1885 d. 15 Sep 1962 (Find A Grave Memorial# 121643296)

Ralph E Huffman b. 5 Jan 1898 in Anthon, Woodbury, Iowa, USA
d.24 Dec 1956 in Sioux City, Woodbury, Iowa, USA (If anyone knows the location of his burial please contact me)
