Pioneer Amish Settler in Southwest Dies

Partridge, Kan. — Funeral services for Mrs. Peter Stoll, 99, pioneer Amish settler in Texas and Kansas, were held Jan. 20 at Liberal, Kan. She was buried at Kismet, Kan. beside her husband who died in 1934.

Mrs. Stoll died in Montgomery, Ind. about five months before her 100th birthday. the Peter Stoll family left Daviess County, Ind. in 1909 to pioneer in a new Amish settlement near Plainview in the Texas Panhandle. The attempt was unsuccessful, and in 1913 the Stolls were the last family to leave that area, moving to Kismet.

A son, Noah Stoll and his family, still live at Kismet, and three daughters reside at Liberal.
