MORTIMER STILES
Mortimer Stiles was born in Allen county, Ohio, July 22, 1839. He went with his parents to the state of Indiana in 1848 where he grew to young manhood, from which he was mustered into the military service where he remained three years. He came to Kansas in 1869. About thirteen years ago he was thrown from his buggy and was badly hurt, from which he never fully recovered and much suffering followed. However, during this time and that of his last sickness he manifested wonderful patience, until on Wednesday at 11 a.m. his spirit took its flight.
He leaves a wife, three daughters and many friends to mourn his loss. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. E. B. Wells at his late residence on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. The ceremony at the grave was by the Grand Army of the Republic and the body interred in Cottonwood cemetery. "One more at home; that home where separation can not be, Lord Jesus, grant us all a peace with thee."
Death of M. Stiles
After a long period of suffering, Mortimer Stiles passed away Wednesday forenoon in this city at the age of 72 years, 4 months ad 3 days. Some thirteen years ago while at his farm near Sterling he met with an accident from which he never recovered. Aside from a short residence in Oklahoma, he had been a citizen of this city since its early history. Uremic poisoning set in in late years, causing his death. He had been unconscious since last Saturday.
Mr. Stiles' daughters, Mrs. Hood of Barr, Colo., and Miss Bessie Stiles of Georgetown, Colo., are expected to be present at the funeral which will be conducted by Rev. Wells at the home of the deceased, Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock. The G.A.R. will have charge of the service at the grave. Mr. Stiles is also survived by another daughter at Chicago, who will not be able to arrive Saturday in Sterling. A grandson, Elmer Miller is expected from Topeka at that time.
Mrs. Meacham, of Raymond, Kansas, is a sister of the deceased, as also Mrs. Romine at Columbus, Ind. The former is visiting in Indiana at this time. Mr. Stiles was married three times. 1912, 01/25
