Anna E. (King) Kauffman, daughter of Abraham and Mattie King, was born Bellefontaine, Logan Co., Ohio, May 13, 1875; died Jan. 15, 1946, at the Trinity Hospital, Minot, N. Dak. Eleven years ago she suffered an attack that left her heart in a weakened condition. In October, 1945, she had another attack from which she never fully recovered but gradually became weaker until death. In youth she gave her heart to Jesus and a remained a loyal and faithful member of the Mennonite Church. She was always at church when health permitted. On Jan. 30, 1902, she was united in marriage to David G. Kauffman of Garden City, Mo. They made their home near Garden City, Mo. until March, 1916, when they moved with their family to near Minot, N. Dak. She leaves to mourn her departure, her sorrowing husband, 4 sons (Carl A., Creston, Mont.; Nelson E., Hannibal, Mo.; Floyd E. and Harold Y., Minot, N. Dak.), and one daughter (Floy -- Mrs. W. W. Kauffman, West Liberty, Ohio); and one foster son (Dale Hunsinger). One son (Herbert) preceded her in death 11 years ago. She also leaves 7 brothers and 3 sisters (Simon and Aaron, West Liberty, Ohio; Jonah, Hubbard, Oreg.; Irvin, Malvern, Pa.; Lydia -- Mrs. F. P. Kauffman, Garden City, Mo.; Ellen -- Mrs. M. L. Plank, Oley, Pa.; and Maude -- Mrs. Robert Myers, Geneva, Pa). Her life was a busy one. She enjoyed visiting the sick and the aged, bringing cheer and gladness. She always manifested concern by helping needy families of the neighborhood. She will be remembered by her family as a kind, loving, faithful mother, one concerned about their spiritual welfare. Two of her sons are now bishops, and one a deacon; her daughter also being married to a minister, all in the Mennonite Church. She always held before her family high ideals for which we are truly grateful. During the past year all but one of her 27 grandchildren visited her. Five weeks before her death her children were all at home. This she greatly appreciated. She will be greatly by her family, the church, and the community. Funeral services were conducted at the Fairview Mennonite Church near Surrey, N. Dak., on Jan. 18, by Eli Hochstetler of Wolford, N. Dak., assisted by L. A. Kauffman, Bloomfield, Mont.
