Services For Amos Kauffman

     Funeral services for Amos Kauffman, widely known and popular resident of Montevallo, who died January 11 at the home of his son, Arthur Kauffman, at Emporia, Kans., were held last Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Baptist church in Montevallo, Rev. Clark of Nevada, officiating. Burial was in the Virgil City cemetery under the direction of the Gwinn-Siders funeral home.

     Mr. Kauffman, who previously had been enjoying his usual health, died quite unexpectedly while visiting in his son's home, his death being attributed to a heart attack. The son of Jacob and Susan Kauffman, he was born at Shipshewana, Ind., May 24, 1872, and came with his family to Missouri when he was a small boy. He had resided here continuously since that time.

     On Sept. 7, 1895, he was married to Lizzie May, daughter of John W. and Eliza May of the Montevallo vicinity, and to this union were born nine children, two sons, Glen and Russell having preceded him in death. Mrs. Kauffman passed away Jan. 31, 1940. He is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Pearle Begley, Long Beach, Calif.; Mrs. Grace Elder, Compton, Calif.; Mrs. Aleen Smalley, Banning, Calif.; Miss Kathryn Kauffman, Kansas City; three sons, Chester Kauffman, Hutchinson, Kans.; Tech. Sgt. Wm. J. Kauffman, Camp Hood, Tex.; and Arthur Kauffman, Emporia, Kans. He also leaves ten grandchildren, one great grandchild, and three brothers, E. J. Kauffman and Charles C. Kauffman, Selma, Calif., and Henry Kauffman of Virgil City, also a number of nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

     Mr. Kauffman was a prominent farmer southwest of El Dorado Springs for many years, but he retired from active work following the death of his wife and bought a home at Montevallo, where he resided when not visiting his children. He was one of the most highly esteemed citizens of this vicinity and his unexpected passing is a matter of deep sorrow to his neighbors and friends.
