Rev. Noah Stauffer, "was born February 13th, 1842. He is married to Barbara Betzner and resides on the farm formerly owned by his grandfather, near Strasburg. On November 9th, 1876, he was ordained to the ministry of the Mennonite church for the Weber field of labor. The bishops that were present on day of ordination were Joseph Hagey, Amos Cressman and Abraham Martin. As a minister he is faithful to the dictates of his conscience and preaches the Word of God and not the laws and regulations of the church of the past, but the needs and requirements of the church of the present. His preaching is plain, practical and impressive, and in the delivery of his sermons he is earnest and brief. His style of preaching is clear and his sermons are so worded that the audience cannot help but be deeply impressed by the same. His family consists of three children.

Noah married Barbara Betzner. Barbara was born on 9 Dec 1844. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
