Obituary for Franz Sigel Stainbrook, The La Cygne (KS) Journal, 22 Nov 1940, Linn Co Historical Society, Pleasanton, KS
"Death Takes F. S. Stainbrook. Sig Stainbrook passed away Monday night, November 18, in Mound City, at the home of his son-in-law, Oliver Danner, following a cerebral hemorrhage which occurred Saturday. Following his retirement from his farm two or three years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Stainbrook lived in La Cygne with their daughter, Mrs. Oliver Danner. When Mr. and Mrs. Danner leased the hotel in Mound City, Mr. and Mrs. Stainbrook stayed on in the Danner home until last Friday when they closed the home and went to Mound City to spend the winter. The following day he was stricken suddenly when apparently in his usual health. Mr. Stainbrook was 78 years old and almost 75 years had been spent in this locality. Born near Bradford, Ill., June 10, 1862, Franz Sigel Stainbrook was the son of Daniel and Mary Stainbrook, who came to Kansas in 1866, settling near what was to be the location of the new town of La Cygne three years later. The Peter Blystone farm, on the north side of Middle creek, on what is still known as Blystone Crossing, was the home of the Stainbrooks for almost three quarters of a century, for young Sig Stainbrook took over a part of the farm and built a home for his bride, Adelaide Doig, whom he married November 6, 1887. To this union was born one daughter, Mary Viola, now the wife of Oliver Danner. Mr. Stainbrook was elected to a township office first in 1888, later, in 1899 he took over the work of treasurer of Lincoln township, and has served ever since, being re-elected in this last election -- more than forty years of service for his neighbors and friends. In the passing of Sig Stainbrook the community has lost one of its oldest residents and a pioneer builder. He was of a quiet, gentle nature, firm in his convictions for truth and justice and ever generous to the faults of others. He listened to the cares and troubles, and gladly lent a helping hand to those less fortunate. He leaves to mourn his death, his wife and daughter, his son-in-law, Oliver Danner, two grandchildren, Jack Danner, a student of Emporia School of Aviation, and Mildred Baker, who lives in Tacoma, Wash.; also two sisters, Mrs. Ward Mendenhall who lives at Okmulgee, Okla., and Mrs. George Marmon of La Cygne, and a brother, Fred Stainbrook of Parker. A funeral service was held in the Christian church Wednesday afternoon conducted by the I.O.O.F. lodge, of which he had been a member 48 years. Rev. Virgil Sigler acted as chaplain. A solo, Crossing the Bar, was sung by Carl Danner, and a quartet composed of Floyd Dalton, Carl Danner, Mrs. Hettie Shaull and Mrs. Gilbert Miller, nieghbors and close friends for many years of Mr. and Mrs. Stainbrook, sang two songs. The commitment service of the lodge was given at the grave in Oak Lawn cemetery. Among the relatives and friends from out of town who were here for the funeral were Jack Danner of Emporia; Mrs. Ward Mendenhall and Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Dalrymple of Okmulgee, Okla.; Mr. and Mrs. George Kerr, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh West and Mrs. Verna McClaughry of Mound City.
