1930 An obituary for Salome (Moyer) Buzzard reported [7]:
Buzzard, Salome [Moyer], daughter of Bro and Sister A J Moyer and wife of Dr D K Buzzard, living on the Moyer homestead in Elkhart Co, Ind., died in the morning of April 5, 1930 after a prolonged illness of a complication of diseases; aged 65 y, 11 d. She was united in marriage to David K Buzzard March 10, 1887, who survives her, besides her three daughters (Mrs. Levi W Yoder, Mrs Walter Blaser, and Mabel at home). Other surviving relatives include two grandchildren (Robert and Lois Arlene Yoder), three step-grandchildren (Mrs Mary Myers, Mrs Q J Everest, and Myrtle Yoder), two brothers (John W and M L Moyer), also three sisters (Mrs Samuel Singer, Mrs Jacob Breniser, and Mrs Edward Wright). She was converted in her younger days, united with the Mennonite Church, and remained a faithful member until death. She bore her years of suffering with much patience and resignation to the will of God. When medical help and care failed to relieve her of suffering, she resorted to prayer and anointing with oil according to James 5: 14 and always received relief and blessing. But the Lord had something better in store for her than recovery. With her prayer for recovery there was always mingled the hope that she might soon enter into that eternal rest. When told by her daughter that she was going, she looked up and smiled. Funeral services were held at the Yellow Creek Mennonite Church, in charge of Bro C A Shank, assisted by Bro L J Lehman. Text, Psa 17:15. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.
