Obituary.
Carl Stopple [sic] was born July 1, 1868, in Russia. He was married there to his first wife with whom he came to this country about seventeen years ago.
His first wife died on the 28 [29th] day of January 1903, leaving him with four children, oldest being only about sixteen years old.
About four years ago he was married to Mrs. Emilia [sic] Stoltenberg, there was one child born to this union, a girl who is now about two years old. He died on a farm north of our city Wednesday night, January 5, 1910 after a lingering illness of several months.
The deceased was a hard working industrious man and was always attending to his own business. During his life time he had more than his share of the earthly misfortune. His honest labors were not always rewarded as they seemingly should have been however he was never found to complain of these worldly persecutions, but went on with renewed energy to care for his family.
He leaves a wife, five children and five step children to mourn his loss.
To them the host of friends extend their deepest sympathy in their hour of bereavement.
The funeral services were held Saturday, January 8, and the remains were intered [sic] in the German Lutheran cemetary [sic]. Rev. H. Krenke conducted the services.
