JACOB P. STUCKY

Jacob P. Stucky, son of Peter J. and Anna (Strausz) Stucky, was born July 15,1891, on a farm near Moundridge, Kan. He spent all his life on the farm here until a year ago in April, when he and his wife moved to Moundridge.

He received his elementary education at the Pioneer school and attended Bethel College Academy, Newton, Kan. It was here that he received his catechetical instruction and was baptized on his confession of faith by David Goertz on May 31, 1908. He became a member of the Hopefield Mennonite Church and on Dec. 19, 1926 transferred his membership to the Eden Mennonite church, where he remained a faithful member until his departure.

On Aug. 4, 1912, he was united in marriage to Ida Goering, with whom he shared life's joys and sorrows for over 45 years. This union was blessed with six children, three sons and three daughters.

In April of 1957 he suffered a stroke and all medical aid failed to bring a complete recovery. His health continued to decline and he went through much suffering in the last year of his life. He was hospitalized repeatedly in the last few months.

He passed away June 8, 1958, in the Mercy Hospital at Moundridge, where he received the best of medical and hospital care. He attained the age of 66 years, 10 months and 23 days.

His love for children and kind and humble spirit will be long remembered. The spiritual and physical welfare of his family was his greatest concern.

He leaves to mourn his departure, his bereaved wife; the children, Esther and her husband, Dan B. Schrag of Hutchinson; Frieda Schrag of Pretty Prairie; Orlo and his wife Edna, Willard and his wife Verna, Alfred and his wife Ellen, Helen and her husband, Harold Kaufman, all of Moundridge; 18 grandchildren; two sisters, Mrs. Ben B. Krehbiel and Mrs. John J. C. Gehring; nine brothers-in-law; eight sisters-in-law; two aunts, one uncle, and many other relatives and friends.
