Abe Stucky Dies at Decatur This A.M.
Former Berne Man Dies Death Similar to Brother
Abe Stucky, Well-known Here Succumbs this Morning After Two Weeks' Critical Illness
Abe Stucky, age 64, formerly a resident of Berne and well known here, died this morning at 7:30 o'clock at Decatur, where he had been sick for the last seven weeks and critically so, the past fortnight. Mr. Stucky died of heart trouble much the same as did his brother, David Stucky, this next Wednesday a month ago, when he suddenly expired at the supper table.
Mr. Stucky moved from Berne to Decatur, where he has been employed by the General Electric Co., until he became ill seven weeks ago. Few here had known of Mr. Stucky's illness, consequently this came with grief to his many acquaintances in and around Berne.
Mr. Stucky leaves to mourn besides his widow, two sons, Rufus and Jesse, both of Decatur, and one brother, Henry of Grabill. Five sisters also survive: Mrs. Leah Egly of Hartford township, Mrs. Katie Moser of French township, Mrs. Mary Schindler of Berne, Mrs. Rosina Klopfenstein of Hesperia, Mich.; Mrs. Levi Klopfenstein of Woodburn and Mrs. Adam Augsburger of Berne. Three brothers, Christian and Amos, and the late David, preceded him in death.
Mr. Stucky was a member of the Reformed church in Decatur, where funeral services will be held Wednesday forenoon and burial will be made at the Defenseless Mennonite church west of Berne.

David Stucky Dies at Supper Table
Death Calls Him Saturday Without Previous Warning
Heart Trouble Takes the Life of Retired Farmer in Berne When Apparently Feeling Fine
It's a great privilege to be permitted to live nearly three score years and ten and always enjoy good health until the heart suddenly stops to beat and the soul returns to God who gave it. This was the lot of David Stucky who passed away while eating supper in his home in Berne.
Mr. Stucky was always well with the exception of his weak heart. He retired from farming three years ago and moved to Berne to enjoy a well deserved retired life. Born in French township on March 10, 1857, he was a life-long resident of this community. He was married to Miss Barbara Rich, also of French township on October 19, 1886. They spent their lives together on a farm one mile north and one mile west of Geneva, where they reared a family of ten children: Mrs. Joel Augsburger of French township, Elmer Stucky of Woodburn, Noah, of Linn Grove, Joe of Woodburn, Chris of New Haven, Albert of Woodburn, Lillian of Fort Wayne, Eli of Geneva, Mrs. Jesse Claudon of Meadows, Ill., and Ivan Stucky of Woodburn. Two children, Menno and Seth, died in infancy.
Besides the widow and the children, the deceased also leaves sixteen grandchildren and two brothers. Abe of Decatur and Henry of Grabill, and five sisters: Mrs. Leah Egly of Hartford township, Mrs. Katie Moser of French township, Mrs. Mary Schindler of Berne, Mrs. Rosina Klopfenstein of Hesperia, Mich.; Mrs. Levi Klopfenstein of Woodburn and Mrs. Adam Augsburger of Berne. Two brothers, Christian and Amos, preceded him in death.
Mr. Stucky was an active member of the Defenseless Mennonite church in French township. The funeral will be held on Tuesday, at 1:00 p.m. at the home and at 2:00 at the Defenseless Mennonite church. He had reached the age of 68 years, 6 months and 17 days.

Eli Stucky Died Easter Morning
Passed Away After Many Years' Illness
Funeral Services Will Be Held at Mennonite Church on Tuesday Afternoon
Eli Stucky died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Stucky in the northwest part of Berne, Easter morning, a short time before the hour for church services. Death had been expected for a number of weeks, and this brought to an end a sickness of many years and which caused Mr. Stucky to suffer much pain.
The cause of the death of Mr. Stucky was empyema. Fifteen years ago the deceased had became very ill with pneumonia, which left his left lung affected. A year later he was forced to undergo an operation for his lung. In the past fourteen years Mr. Stucky had to submit to two other operations in an effort to regain his health. His condition had improved enough that he could attend to his duties in the office of the Berne Lumber Co., where he had been employed for many years. In December, Mr. Stucky's condition became worse and he was forced to give up his duties. Since New-year's he had been able to go to the office about twice until his condition became so that he was unable to leave his home. Eight weeks ago he became sick with the flu and since that time he had been bedfast until his death.
Eli Stucky was born in Berne on February 9, 1886 and died on April 16, 1922, at the age of 36 years, 2 mo. and 17 days. At an early age he moved with his parents to a farm a mile and half east of town. He received his education in the schools of Wabash township. During his business connections with the Berne Lumber Co. he had made a large number of friends, who had long admired his courage in his fight for health.
The deceased leaves to mourn his departure, besides his parents, the following brothers and sisters: Otto, Walter, Elmer, Martin and Howard Stucky of Berne, Ervin, Jacob and Ira Stucky of Wabash tp., Florenz of Monroe tp., and Miss Linda Stucky at home. Besides these there are a large number of other relatives and friends. One brother died in infancy.

Grandma Barbara Stucky Died This Morning
Funeral Friday, at 9:30 A.M., at Mennonite Church
Grandma Stucky has gone home to her reward this morning from the home of her son Daniel Stuckey, east of Berne, Though she was very small in stature she lived the life of a great woman and her earlier career of over 83 years was one of usefulness and service not only to her own family, but to others, especially the sick and poor whom she always helped wherever she could. She was a real angel and many will remember her for her sweet Christian character and a life spent in the service for others.
Grandma Stuckey was a pioneer of this community. Born in Elsace, then a part of France, she was married there to Jacob Stuckey, and soon after their marriage the couple came to this place over sixty years ago, when all was a wilderness. After a while they moved to Leo, Ind., and lived there a few years, and then returned to this place, always living in the close neighborhood of Berne.
Eight children were born into their home, of whom one son and five daughters preceded her in death. Grandpa Stuckey died about seventeen years ago. The children living are Daniel Stuckey, east of Berne, and David Stuckey in Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. Peter Liechty north of Berne. Besides these she leaves three brothers, and one sister, twenty-two grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. About ten grandchildren died.
Deceased was 83 years old last January 17th. She was a worthy member of the Missionary church, but on account of her large acquaintance the funeral services will be held at the Mennonite church next Friday forenoon at 9:30 o'clock.

Samuel Stuckey's Funeral
Probably the largest funeral sever held at the Defenseless Mennonite church west of town was that of Samuel Stuckey last Sunday afternoon, victim of the great interurban wreck at Kingsland of last Wednesday. Fully as many as crowded into the fair sized church, or even more, stood outside during the services. About 1500 people viewed the remains, while a hundred more remained away from the casket. About 400 vehicles were counted making a funeral procession of over a mile in length.
Added to the interest that the tragic death of the deceased had aroused was the more important fact that the church had lost in him its very efficient and energetic Sunday-school superintendent and the president of its Young People's society, and a very active member of the church in general.
A curious incident in Mr. Stucky's tragic end is told by those know. On Wednesday morning he was obliged to run for the car both at Vera Cruz and at Bluffton, in order to catch it, as if two fates were battling to get Mr. Stuckey into their hands, one controlling the cars, would save his life by running away from him, while another, controlling his movements, would cause him to catch the illfated cars that carried his to his untimely death, and the latter would seem to have been victorious. But then such fatalism belongs to the dark ages and not to this enlightened Christian age. The sad thing for us to contemplate is that a beautiful Christian life has been taken away prematurely from our midst, as well as from the loved ones of his own household; but our sadness is his glory, who has been transplanted from the scene of labor into the realms of blissful reward.
The funeral was conducted by his pastor, Rev. Eli Lantz, assisted by Rev. S. J. Grabill. Rev. Maas, of the Evangelical church, also assisted at the house in Berne (Nick Stuckey's)

A Loving Husband and Four Children Mourn Their Loss
Mrs. Elias Hirschy, who for more than forty years has endured the trials and tribulations of this world and who has ever held fondly a hope of sweet, long rest with her Saviour in the world beyond, passed away quietly to her long rest, Friday evening, Aug. 30th.

Concerning the Macklin Family of Decatur, there seems to be no connection
with the Wendell Macklin referred to in your post. Oliver Wendell Pjillip
Macklin, the Wendell Macklin for whom the bridge was named, was a 4th
generation Democrat Macklin from the Geneva and Decatur areas of Adams
County, IN. He had two brothers--one died childless, probably in Evansville
whewre his widow lives, and Richard J., whose four children all live in
Decatur. His father, Phil L. Macklin, was born in Jay Co., IN just south of
Adams, and moved to Geneva, on the Adams-Jay border. He was a friend of
Cong. James J> Farley, and was appointed postmaster of Decatur. He started an
auto dealership in Decatur, run by Wendell and his son Ricahrd's children.

I have been researching the ancestry of Wendell Otis Macklin b. 1920 Branch Co MI d. 1969 Branch Co MI. I just happened across a news article from the Decatur Daily Democrat Newspaper (IN) from June 2002 (online) about the reconstruction and reopening of the Wendell Macklin Bridge in Decatur. Wendell's grandfather, William H. Macklin, was born in Columbiana Co IN and died in Marshall Co IN. But I have not found any other Wendell Macklins in this line. This is not a common name, so I am very curious to find out if there is any connection with the history and naming of this bridge and this Macklin line. ANY info would be appreciated. Thanks, Jan
