    1. [S915] Death Notices and Obituaries, Elizabeth Kauffman, 1844–1918, appeared in local newspaper in Sunfield, Eaton, Michigan, related to Jeff Vitter by Mary Dennison.
      Elizabeth Kauffman was born in Somerset county, Pennsylvania, Dec. 7, 1844, and departed this life Oct. 11, 1918 at her home in Campbell at the age of 73 years, ten months and four days.

      She has lived in Campbell about 42 years, coming to Michigan from Pennsylvania with her parents about 50 years ago.

      She was married to John Karrar in Caledonia, Nov. 10 1870, her husband preceding her in death about 18 years ago. To this union were born two sons and one daughter : Jacob Arthur of Clarksville; Michael Joseph of Lake Odessa; Mrs. Walter Shepard of Clarksville.

      Those who remain to mourn their loss are two sons and two daughters: Michael Joseph of Lake Odessa, Jacob Arthur of Clarksville, Mrs. Clara Scott of Belding, Mrs. Walter Shepard of Clarksville; Two Brothers : John and Jerry Kauffman of Clarksville, and two sisters : Mrs. Hiram Livingston and Mrs. Mooney Custer of Clarksville, besides many other relations and a host of friends.

      She was a devoted and faithful member of the Mennonite church of Bowne township for several years. Funeral services were held from the home Sunday, The Revs. Brackbill and Messner officiating. Burial was made in the Clarksville Cemetery
