Infant stillborn in home birth The stillborn birth of a daughter to Syracuse residents, Mr. and Mrs. David L. Vargo, CR 148, north of Syracuse, has caused much comment among Kosciusko County residents. Elkhart County Coroner Marvin Riegsecker ruled that the infant, born at 11 p.m. Tuesday, March 4, had been dead in utero from three to five days prior to the stillborn birth. The death has been linked to the parents’ adherence to the controversial doctrines of the Faith Assembly Church, a North Webster religious sect, which strongly encourages home birth and teaches followers that faith in God alone will keep them healthy. There were no medical personnel in attendance at the home birth. The Vargos have lost two other daughters. Lisa Jolene was stillborn July 13, 1966 and Anitra D. was born dead on February 28, 1978.
