Yours respectfully, B. Noftsger. [Rochester Sentinel, Saturday, April 6, 1899] __________ Benjamin NOFTSGER, aged 83, a pioneer settler of Fulton county and for the past 47 years a resident of Rochester, died at his home, 719 Madison street, at 2 o’clock Thursday morning. About seven months ago Mr. Noftsger suffered a stroke of paralysis and this affliction which was accompanied by other diseases of advanced years gradually brought about his death. Benjamin, son of Nelson M. and Mary CLARK NOFTSGER, was born on a farm in Hamilton county, Ohio, March 17th, 1846, and moved with his parents to Fulton county when but a lad of seven years. When the deceased was 17 years old his father died and for a time he was employed by COWGILL & BEARSS lumber company as a timber buyer. A short time later Noftsger purchased and operated a general store in the Sugar Grove neighborhood during which time he also served as postmaster of that locality. In the year of 1881, a fire destroyed the Sharon store. Mr. Noftsger then moved to Rochester where he was engaged in the farming implement business with A. C. MITCHELL as a partner. A short time later he purchased Mr. Mitchell’s interest in the store and branched out in the grain business in the year of 1885. Mr. Noftsger’s activities in the grain and elevator business expanded to such an extent that he soon relinquished his holding in the implement business to Milo BRUGH. At one time the deceased was owner of five elevators four of which were disposed of several years ago when he retired from active management of these concerns. The Noftsger’s Athens elevator was sold to the Erie R. R., his Tiosa elevator was transferred to George PERSCHBACHER, the Rochester Elevator to the Farmer’s Co-operative, the Walnut elevator was traded for farm property. The Loyal elevator is one which is now owned by the deceased. On November 2nd, 1865, Mr. Noftsger was united in marriage to Sarah Ann MITCHELL, who survives with the following relatives: one son, Bennie E. [NOFTSGER], of Mishawaka; a brother Nahman [NOFTSGER], of this city; a half-brother, Sylvester PERRY, of Columbia City; a half-sister, Mrs. Minerva FERREE, of Warsaw; four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Funeral services in charge of Rev. J. B. GLEASON will be held at 2 o’clock [at the] church. Burial will be made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. The body will lie in state until the hour of the funeral.
