Biography

Jacob B. Stouffer was born in 1817 in Guilford Twp., Franklin Co., PA, Wanger has this individual dying in infancy, however both the 1820 and 1830 censuses show one son of this age in the John Stouffer household, and later censuses show Jacob B. Stouffer living in Franklin County with wife Elizabeth and a family. I believe the Wanger genealogy was in error on this case. DLB 2019.^1,2 He married Elizabeth Strowbridge.³ He died in 1894 in Franklin Co., PA.¹

He was buried in 1894 in Fairview Cemetery, Mercersburg, Franklin Co., PA, Findagrave #20724475.

Jacob B. Stouffer lived on 21 August 1850 in Southampton Twp., Franklin Co., PA.³ He lived on 15 June 1860 in Orrstown, Franklin Co., PA.⁴

Biography

Hannah Stouffer was born on 27 March 1821 in Guilford Twp., Franklin Co., PA, Birth year is based on her reported age in 1870 census (49) and 1880 census (59). Wanger book shows her born 1820, but that date conflicts with sister Elizabeth's birth date (19 SEP 1819), which is reasonably well established from her headstone and obituary. DLB 2010.^1,2 She married George C. Smith, son of Jacob Smith and Barbara Clippinger. Hannah Stouffer died on 19 April 1898 in Marion, Franklin Co., PA.

She was buried in April 1898 in Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery, Marion, Franklin Co., PA, Findagrave #142100376.

Rev. Daniel Fahrney Stouffer was born on 1 January 1839 in Washington Co., MD.¹ He married Drusilla Kennedy Chaney, daughter of Ezekiel Chaney and Jane Rowe, on 4 November 1858. Rev. Daniel Fahrney Stouffer died on 7 March 1898 in Benevola, Washington Co., MD,

Mr. Stouffer was a child when his parents settled in Washington County, Md. Was educated in the public schools near his home at Boonsboro; at sixteen he left school and began reading medicine under his uncle, Daniel Fahrney, M.D., but soon tired of study and at eighteen went to the west with a surveying corps, here he found life on the plains full of change and adventure. After returning to Maryland, he began to prepare for the ministry and was elected about 1862, in charge of Mt. Zion, Long Meadows and Beaver Creek, and served them for more than 30 years. He was endowed with great magnetic power and drew all men to him; was an eloquent speaker and did a great deal of evangelistic work. His voice was exceptionally fine, not only in speaking but in singing and he taught singing classes in all parts of that section. He was very popular and many were proud of being married by him. He was a stockholder and director of Juniata College at Huntingdon, Pa. -- from Williams' History of Washington County, Md.

In business he (Rev. Daniel F. Stouffer) was active and energetic. In some way, out of necessity or otherwise, he was called to "cry" a sale (this was before his election to the ministry), and from that day to the day of his death he was in constant demand. Over a wide territory he traveled, day after day, even for months in the winter and early spring. No weather daunted and no difficulty discouraged him. He was true to his employers and their patrons, and no one doubted his word. I have known him to sell thousands of dollars' worth of livestock and farm implements and then ride a dozen or twenty miles to his home or preach at night and be ready for his duty the next morning. He was a great horseman, and was never so pleased as when training and subduing the worst horse in the community. He lived in the midst of a rich farming community and early introduced improved machinery, which he sold in great quantity with little effort. His success was to be accounted for only on the ground of the entire confidence in him.

"And when life came to a sudden close in the midst of his labors and usefulness the whole country mourned. He lies buried in sight of the place where he was born, and a generation that came to the church under his preaching, who were married under his benediction, and whose ancestors he buried, live to bless his memory." -- W. B. Stover, of India, in "Some Who Have Led."¹

He was buried in March 1898 in Mt. Zion (Fahrney's) Church Cemetery, Mapleville, Washington Co., MD.

Rev. Daniel Fahrney Stouffer was Church of the Brethren.
