A typed copy of an obituary was also in the family files. If it appeared in the newspaper this way, we did not find where it was published. It reads: "Margaret Suhler was born in Harsdorf, Bavaria, Germany January 18, 1868. She passes away at her home in Barber County, Kansas June 8, 1910. Age 42 years, 4 months and 22 days. She came from Harsdorf, Bavaria, Germany to Kendall County, Illinois in 1882 and two years later was married to George Suhler. To this union was born sixteen children of whom there are now living thirteen, seven boys and six girls. Two boys and one girl are dead. Beside this large family of children there are left to mourn her loss, a loving husband, her Mother, Mrs. John Suhler of Medicine Lodge, two sisters, Mrs. J.E. Farley of Medicine Lodge, Mrs. Anna Wild of Marshall, Minn. and one brother Nick Suhler of Nashville, Kansas. She was confirmed in the German Luthern Church, when thirteen years old and has been a member of that organization until the past year. All the family were with their mother when she passed away, excepting two children, Mrs. Kate Ormiston of Seward County, Kansas and John Suhler, the oldest son, who lives in Baca County, Colorado, and the two came in time for the funeral services. Mrs. Suhler was a kind and loving wife and mother and her presence will be sadly missed, not only in the home, but also in the community where she lived, for she won the respect and love of all who knew her. After a short service at the house, the body was brought to Nashville, Kansas where a large congregation gathered to pay their last respects to the loving mother and friend. The funeral sermon was preached from Proverbs 31:10-12 and the body was laid to rest in the Nashville Cemetery. The words of the Master could be said of her, 'She hath done what she could'."

OBITURARY: which read: "John Suhler, a pioneer resident of the Barber and Harper County area for 63 years, passed away Friday, July 6, at his farm home two miles west of Sharon at the age of 80 years, 8 months and 21 days. He was the son of John and Margaret Suhler and was born October 15, 1864, near Harsdorf, Germany. He came to America in 1881 at the age of 16 and became a naturalized citizen in 1887. He first lived at Plainfield and Joliet, Illinois, moving the next year to what is now Attica. As a youth, before the railroad was extended from Harper, he herded cattle on the present site of Attica. After spending a few years at Plainfield, he returned to the eastern part of Barber County. His parents homesteaded six miles north of Sharon. He was united in marriage with Jessie Alice Stuart of Zenda, Kan., on May 21, 1899. During his 63 years in these Kansas communities, John Suhler was well and favorably known in farming and business circles as the first operator of horse-drawn and steam threshing machines and for 40 years as one of Barber County's most ardent believers in good schools and highways. He attended the first road meeting in the state of Kansas and was the first grader operator paid by Barber County. With horse-drawn, and later tractor-drawn, road graders, he opened most of the early highways in the county. At one time his count showed he had helped build more than 100 cement culverts and small bridges in the eastern part of the county. For more than 20 years Mr. Suhler was elected to the office of Sharon township trustee. In 1920, 1925 and 1930 he took the United States census in Sharon and several other townships in the county and also served for more than 25 years as crop reporter for the United States and Kansas State Departments of Agriculture.

Mr. Suhler was one of the last charter members of the Modern Woodmen Lodge, Camp 5436, and served for many years as venerable command. He was a member of the Congregational Church and in 1900, with his wife, changed to the United Brethren Church, and in 1912 transferred to the Christian Church at Sharon. No obituary about John Suhler would be complete if it did not mention that he was one of Barber County's best checker players, and won many championship games in and out of the county. Due to his long public service and his keen memory for names, he was favorably known throughout the county, perhaps being able to call more residents of the county by namethan any other person. His illness in January was a shock to his family and many friends. He was alert and interested in local and county affairs up to his last few days. He is survived by his wife, Jessie; one daughter, Ms. Gladys Ada Kephart of Des Moines, Ia.; and four sons, Stanley Stuart, Waldo Emmerson and Raymond Victor of Sharon, and Lester Fereld of Des Moines, Ia.; and three grandchldren, Barbara Kephart, Susan Lynne and John Stuart Suhler, all of Des Moines.
