  Obituary- Stuver, Jacob Obituary: DEATH DUE TO HIS AGE john Stuver Dies at Age of Ninety-Five FUNERAL TO BE SATURDAY Jacob Stuver, one of the oldest men of Huntington county, died near Bippus Wednesday afternoon at 3:45. Physicians thought paralysis was working on him though death was mostly attributed to age. He had been in feeble health some time, though his last sickness came upon him only Tuesday at noon. Mr. Stuver was born in Northampton county, Pa., June 27, 1809. From that state he came to Seneca county Ohio, then to Hancock county, Ind., and in the spring of 1863 to Huntington county, settling on a farm in Warren township where he lived until his death with the exception of possibly two years when he lived in Bippus. He was married more than fifty-nine years ago and to Mr. and Mrs. Stuver were born several children. Surviving him are his devoted wife and children as follows: Alfred of this city, Jacob of Clearcreek, Edward of this city, Mrs. Savilla Keiger of Kosciusko county, Mrs. Emma King of this city and Mrs. Ada Bender who with her husband lives with her parents on the home place. Two sons and four daughters are dead. Mr. Stuver was formerly a member of the Lutheran church but recently has not been an active member. Nor was he connected with any fraternal organization. In politics he was always a democrat. He was a most highly respected citizen and well-to-do, leaving an eighty-acre farm. The funeral will be held Saturday morning at 10 o’clock from the Funk church. An effort is being made to secure the services of the regular pastor of that congregation. Daily News-Democrat Huntington, Indiana Thursday, January 14, 1904
