On Friday morning, Sept. 5, 1890, at Rock River, Wis., Michael Huffman, in his 84th year. He was born in Pennsylvania, Sept. 12, 1806, and moved while young with his parents to Virginia. The death of his father in the war of 1812, left him an orphan. He lived with a family by the name of Franz, and with them moved to Ohio. He was married to Mary Livingston in 1830, and both became members of the Jackson Center Seventh-day Baptist Church, from which their membership was never removed. Mr. Huffman with his family came to Wisconsin in 1849, and settled on a farm near Rock River. In 1882 he removed to Milton Junction, where his wife died in October, 1889. After this he made his home with his son-in-law, M. R. Coon. He bore his long sickness with patience, and delighted in prayer and communion with God. The funeral was held at the Seventh-day Baptist church, Rev. N. Wardner, assisted by Rev. G. W. Hills, officiating. Interment took place in the Milton Junction cemetery.
