Married to Sarah Rebecca Kirk (1848-1933) on October 22, 1873 in Hickman, Kentucky
.∼GALATA FARMER KILLED
IN FALL FROM WAGON
While engaged in hauling gravel for the Toole county road project from a pit on the Geo. Lewison place 5 miles northwest of Lothair, Valentine Stahr on Thursday noon was thrown from the wagon on which he sat to the ground, the fall breaking his neck and also his right arm. No one was present at the time of the accident but it is surmised that he struck the wagon tongue in his fall and then struck the ground. The wagon tongue was broken and the team had become excited and run away. The accident happened a short ways from the pit.
Mr. Stahr was born in Wurtemberg, Germany of February 14, 1852, and was 69 years and 7 months of age. At the age of two years he arrived in the United States with his parents and for the next fifteen years they lived in Indiana.
In 1867 the family moved to Hickman, Fulton county, Kentucky. In 1907, Mr. Stahr, then having a family of his own, moved to Polson, Montana, where he farmed for three years.
In 1910 he selected a homestead 5 miles northeast of Galata, which he was still farming.
He leaves to mourn him, his wife and five daughters, Misses Ella and Nettie and Evelyn, Mrs. Ben A. Rush, and Mrs. Margaret Hughlett.
The remains will be shipped Saturday to Hickman, Ky. Misses Ella and Nettie will accompany the body.
Mr. Stahr was exceptionally well liked by all who knew him, a fine neighbor and friend, and was never known to feel discouraged or blue, no matter what befell. He was a real optimist, an excellent father and we feel certain his daughters will miss him very much.
The Reporter joins with their many friends in expressing deep sympathy for the bereaved ones.
