MARY STOCKDALE, PETER VON HOLDT,
S.R. BUFFUM CALLED TO REWARDS
Mary L. Stockdale, who has been ill since the latter part of May, following a stroke of paralysis, passed away at her home at a early hour Saturday morning. While it was known that she was in a critical condition and that she would probably not recover, yet her passing has cast a felling of loss of a good woman.
Mary Luella Stouffer was born, June 24, 1855. at Madison, Ind., and passed away at her home at early dawn, September 3, 1932. Miss Stouffer was united in marriage in Walcott, Iowa, November 11, 1877. To this union were born four children, three of whom died in infancy. The remaining son, Guy, passed away in 1918, three years after the husband and father had been numbered with the majority on the other side. In July, five years age, Mrs. Stockdale's brother, Addison Stouffer, of Walcott also joined that caravan "from whose bourne no travellar ever returns." But one brother remains, John Stouffer, of Walcott, Iowa. Other surviving relatives are four nieces; Mabel Jockheck, Effie Kramer, Luella Gleason, Vernona Hass; five nephews; Lloyd and Elmore Stouffer, sons of John S.; Ray, Carl and Howard sons of Addison Stouffer.
Mr. and Mrs. Stockdale moved from Walcott to Lake Park in 1910. Since her husband's death in 1915, Mrs. Stockdale has spent most of her winters with relatives in Rock Island, ILL. This year however, she remained in Lake Park.
Those nearest Mrs. Stockdale realized that during the last year, her health was impaired. On May 23 she suffered a severe stroke of paralysis from the effects of which she did not recover.
Mrs. Stockdale had been a member from childhood of the First M. E. Church in Moline, ILL. She was a Christian cultured woman of strong convictions well founded. The worthy poor and good institutions were recipients of her helping hand. She was of retiring disposition and few, if any of her most intimate friends knew of all her bebefactions.
According to her own plans, her funeral services were simple and private. At 10 o'clock on Sunday morning Scripture reading and prayer by her pastor Rev. D. M. Simpson and a vocal solo "Abide With Me" sung by Mrs. John Stockfleth, composed the simple rite in her home. The few rich floral offerings by her sorrowing relatives and friends beautifully symbolized the modest genuinesses of her life. The final rites were observed in her brother's home at Walcott. Now her mortal remains rest by the side of the other members of her home in the Walcott Cemetery. Following are the names of the pallbearers at Lake Park: Will Blair, Lou Gleason, Lloyd Stouffer, Harry Jockheck, John Kramer, and Chas. Doughty. At Walcott: Geo. Hass, Harry Jockheck, Lloyd Stouffer, Lou Gleason, Elmore Stouffer and Gus Stueben.
In the passing of Mrs. Stockdale, the church, the town and everyone whom she knew lost a true friend. Mrs. Stockdale was a lover of flowers and all beauty, in fact, she was a truth lover. She was appreciative of every consideration and kindness shown in her behalf. "How could I do without you." she would say to her dependables "Mabel and Harry". She had a true estimate of value, home and friendship ranking first. During her last illness she remarked to a friend, "Death is naught but the opening of a door into a room more luminous and larger than that we leave behind."
Relatives and friends from out of town who were in attendance at the funeral services held here were Mr. and Mrs. J. Kramer and sons, of Bigelow, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Gleason, of Fort Dodge; Bessie Benshoff and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers of Iowa Falls; Mr. and Mrs. Peterson, of Fonda, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Doughty and daughter, Charlotte Ann, and henry Bock, of Spirit Lake; Ed and Lloyd Stockdale of Estherville, and Mrs. Carrie Ewen of Spirit Lake. Sympathy is extended to the sorrowing relatives.
