Stuckey.-Sarah (Schrock) Stuckey was born in Wayne Co., Ohio, Sept. 10, 1834. She was the seventh of eight children, and the last to pass over to the spirit world. Her parents died when she was twelve years old. A few years later she moved with her sister to Indiana, and was married to Christian Stuckey Dec. 10, 1852. This union was blessed with three children. After their marriage they lived near Goshen, Ind., until 1857 when they moved to Pretty Prairie. Her husband died in 1895, after which she made her home with her daughter Mrs. Daniel Agley. She united with the Amish Mennonite Church in early life, and remained faithful until death. She was a true noble Christian mother, and her unselfish life and gentle disposition will always live in the hearts of those who knew her. Funeral services at the home by D. D. Miller.
