About Dora Pletcher
Pletcher Dora, daughter of Elias and Sarah Swartzendruber, was born in Johnson Co., Ia., April 28, 1885; died March 6, 1941, in the Lutheran Hospital, Fort Dodge, Ia.; aged 55 y. 10 m. 6 d. In early childhood her parents moved to Wright Co., Ia., near Eagle Grove, where she grew to womanhood. Jan. 5, 1908, she was married to Edward C. Pletcher of Clarion, Ia. To them were born twin sons and 3 daughters. The little boys died in infancy. Their daughter, Evelyn, passed away in 1935, at the age of twenty-one. Surviving are her husband and 2 daughters-Marjorie (Mrs. Orval Miller) and Minnie Eloise, at home. After their marriage they lived near Clarion for three years, then moved to Versailles, Mo., for another three years. Since that time they have lived in or near Manson, Ia. In girlhood, Dora gave her heart to Jesus and united with the Mennonite Church. Her life was a constant testimony to her Saviour. Her untiring devotion to her family, Church, and community was a reflection of the spirit of Christ within her. Truly it can be said, "She hath done what she could." Besides her husband, 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren, there are 3 brothers (Henry of Thor, Edwin of Manson, and Earnest of Palmer), 2 sisters (Mrs. O. H. Wenger, of Detroit Lakes, Minn., and Mrs. J. D. Graber of Dhamtari, India), and many relatives and friends left to mourn. Funeral services were conducted Mar. 9 from the Mason Mennonite Church by Bro. C. L. Graber of Goshen, Ind., and Bro. Nick Stolzfus of Mason, Ia.
