Stricken by Disease
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LA PLATA, Md, Aug. 5.-Stephen
F. StolzfuS, who two years ago lee
an Amish emigration from Lancaster
County, Pa, to avoid controversy
over Pennsylvania school laws, was
to be buried today in a private plot
on his farm near New Market.
The 77-year-old clergyman dieo
Saturday in Physicians Memorial
Hospital of Rocky Mountain spotted
fever, the result of a tick bite re-
ceived about two weeks ago.
Now i'll with the fever are the
wife of one of his three sons. Mrs
Samuel Stolzfus, and her small son
Reuben, 3. They were described
as not seriously sick.
Came to New Haven.
Mr.. Stolzfus, or plain Stephen
as he preferred to be called, be-
lieving that only the Savior was
worthy the title of Mister headed
the group of eight Amish families
which moved last year to 1850
acre tract in Southern Maryland to
set up a new community.
The reason for the exodus was
partly the Arnish aversion to the
borrowing of money. Establishment
Of consolidated schools in their
former home in Lancaster County
was to be financed by the sale of
bonds, a policy they opposed on
principle. Perhaps a more impor-
tant reason, however. was the price
of the land in their home COM
munity, which had increased at
least partly through their own in
dustry to as much as $500 an acre
This made the price of landing
their sons when they were married,
in accordance with the tenets of
their religion, almost prohibitive
The land they bought in Southern
Maryland averaged about $50 an
acre.
Only recently Stephen remarked: i:
"A year ago we came here from the
Lancaster Valley. Some told us the
soil was worn out, others that we
might not be welcome in the COM
munity. They were wrong. We are
happy and prospering."
Community Flourishing.
New barns, enlarged houses and
larger herds of cattle and horses
and bumper crops bear witness tc
the statement of the Amish leader
Their plain, buttonless clothes and
quiet manners have made them a
welcome addition to the Southern
Maryland community in which they
have made their home.
In Baltimore, DR.. c. H. Halliday

Health Department, said Mr.. Stolz.

fever fatalities to seven in Maryland
