Kiel's Pioneer Manufacturer, Adolph Stoelting Dies in Sleep
Death came peacefully to Adolph Stoelting, 75, in his sleep Tuesday night.
When he did not arise at his usual time Wednesday morning, his housekeeper, Mrs. Eulalia Achtenhagen, discovered that he was dead. She had made a home for Mr. Stoelting for three years at Indian Hill.

He spent several hours at the plant each working day and was there as usual Tuesday.
He served in several civic jobs, among them was as an alderman back in 1920 when Kiel was first organized as a city. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church, of the Chamber of Commerce and a former director of the Citizens State Bank.
He was born November 24, 1882 at Franklin, the son of the late Frederick and Sophia Martin Stoelting. He was baptized and confirmed at the Immanual Evangelical and Reformed church in Town Herman.
August 15, 1907, he married Martha Krieger of Kiel. The couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1957.
Survivors include two sons, Frederick and Carl, of Kiel, two daughters Mrs.William Kuether and Mrs. Olaf Lee of Kiel, 16 grandchildren and one greatgrandchild; two brothers Otto of Kiel and Herman of Town Herman.
A memorial will be established for the Mission House Theological Seminary.
