Pioneer of Honduras Amish Colony Dies

Guiamaca, Honduras. — Peter Stoll, 59, leader of an Amish group which immigrated here from Aylmer, Ontario nearly three years ago, died recently of a heart ailment. A number of Amish families from North America have joined the settlement since the original group came.

A native of Daviess County, Indiana, he married Anna Wagler in 1933. They became parents of 11 children and one foster son. Seven of the children and the families of the older ones came here with the parents.

Since their arrival here Mr. and Mrs. Stoll had adopted two homeless children, and the Amish group has established a children's home.
