Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Stucky lived in Oklahoma eight years, in Kansas five years and then moved to Monroe, Washington, in September of 1911.

He being deeply interested in teaching the Word of god, helped to organize a Sunday school which was first held in different homes. As the Sunday school grew they were soon obliged to find larger quarters, so they secured the Swedish Covenant church.

In 1918 he became one of the original organizers of the present First Mennonite church. Since its organization he has been deeply concerned for its healthy growth and spiritual Welfare. His kindly advice and helpful suggestions will be keenly missed.

The funeral was conducted by Rev. M. M. Lehmann, on Friday, Feb. 6, at the First Mennonite church.

Rev. Lehmann spoke Words of Comfort on the following scripture passages; the 23rd Psalm, John 14, 1 - 15, and also on Romans 8, 8. A duet sang "Don't" in German and a quartet sang "In that Beautiful Land on that Far away Strand."
