Orval Elmore Stickelman, son of Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Stickelman, living north of Clarinda, was born Jan. 31, 1906, at Clarinda, and passed away Feb. 11, 1919, at the age of 13 years and 11 days. He died as the result of an accidental gunshot wound inflicted the Saturday before his death. In The Journal of last week, an error was made regarding the day upon which the accident occurred, because The Journal was wrongly informed by what was considered reliable authority as to the day the accident took place.
The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Christian Church in this city, conducted by Rev. R. C. Snodgrass. A mixed quartet, composed of Mrs. J. G. Scroggs, Mrs. H. C. Hawley, Otis Lucas and Rev. Snodgrass furnished the music. The bearers were friends of Orval. They were Buell Bogan, Eugene Bogan, Virgil Anderson, Theodore Thompson, Harold Reed, Cecil Baker. Interment was in Clarinda Cemetery.
The following obituary has been given The Journal:
"Having been reared in this community, Orval's young vigorous personality wove itself inextricably into the life of all the boys of the community, by whom he was loved and respected with the kind of love and respect which is always challenged in boys for the strong, the just and the manly. Orval confessed his faith in his Savior in January 1916, and though not given long to work out his noble profession, yet those brief two years were replete with such devotion to his Sunday school and church that his services will be missed. Not often in young years, does a life enter very deeply into church activities, but Orval's customary place during the musical part of the church's worship will long be remembered.
"Because thy smile was fair,
Thy lip and eye so bright,
Because they loving cradle care
Was such a dear delight,
Shall love, with weak embrace,
My upward wing detain?
