Stickle.
William Stickle died Monday, Aug. 11, 1902, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Catherine Spiker, wife of Albert Spiker, LaHarpe, Hancock county, of bronchial pneumonia of a week's duration, in the 79th year of his age. Funeral services were held at La Harpe at 11 a. m. Tuesday, after which the body was brought to the Stickle graveyard, some five miles northwest of this city, and buried.
Mr. Stickle was a well known citizen of the northwest part of the county, living many years in Emmet township. He was born in York county, Pennsylvania, in 1823. With the family of his father, Abram Stickle, he came to Illinois in the year 1839, settling in what is now Emmet township. In the year 1850 he went to California, remaining eight years in the mines, where he quite well prospered. Returning he married Miss Amanda Miller; they shortly went to California and lived there eight more years, after which he returned to Illinois and purchased a farm in Emmet and lived there until a few years since, when he gave up farming on account of advancing age. His wife died about seven [sic] years ago. Three children survive him; his daughter, above named, Albert S. of La Harpe, and Edgar, who is in one of the western states.
Mr. Stickle was a most worthy citizen and commanded respect of all. Abraham Stickle, well known of Emmet, is the last survivor of the large Stickle family that came from Pennsylvania in the pioneer days.

The obituary mistakenly named "Albert S. of LaHarpe" as a surviving child. Charles W. Stickle was one of the three surviving children. He was living in Oklahoma when his father died. Edgar Carson Stickle was in Portland, Oregon.
