Born: Morning Sun, Iowa, January 15, 1879.
Died:

The subject of this sketch, daughter of William. S. and Zerrilla J. Huffman, was born in Morning Sun, Iowa, January 15, 1879. Her grandfather on her mother's side, Josiah Vertrees, was a relative of the Thomas Hodgens family, which was prominent in the beginning of this Restoration movement, and spoken of in Richardson's "Memoirs of Alexander Campbell," also in the life of Abraham Lincoln. She received a fair education in the public schools of Morning Sun, and Oskaloosa, Iowa. Also attended Oskaloosa College for a time, receiving instruction from the lamented President J. M. Atwater. In the spring of 1897 the wheel of fortune cast her lot in Arkansas, where she taught one term of "Deestrict Schule," teaching the young Southern idea how to " shute." She thinks it is possible that a future President is now in that "deestrict." She feels sure that the coming woman received valuable information in that school. Sister Huffman, while yet quite young, obeyed the gospel, being immersed by Bro. Reed, at Brighton, Iowa. In the preparation of material for this work she has been my faithful amanuensis, proofreader and correspondent. Her labors have very materially lightened my burdens and hastened the work. Her present home is Elwood, Indiana.
