CHRISTIAN STOPPEL
The departed brother, Johann Christian Stoppel, was born May 10, 1857, at Niederenoudjou [sic], Russia, where he was baptised in his early childhood and after being instructed in the doctrines of the Lutheran church was confirmed in his faith on Ascension Day 1872. Feb'y 2, 1877, he was united in marriage to Anna Elizabeth Anschutz with whom he lived over 43 years in wedlock. To this union 11 children were born, 8 sons and 3 daughters. Two sons and two daughters died before their father. Unexpectedly has the Lord called him home, all day Thursday doing the chores about the house, in the evening on retiring well and happy, he died on Friday morning at 1:30 o'clock. The announcement "Christ Stoppel s [is] dead" came to this community and our congregation like a flash of lightning from a clear sky. Last Sunday morning still in good health he attended the service in his church. It was his custom to be there and to confess Christ with us and to edify his soul. On Friday morning the announcement came that he had died.
To each man, woman and child comes the same message that was announced to King Hezekiah: "Set thine house in order for thou shalt die and not live." And also the words of our Saviour should be always before us: "Watch ye therefore; for ye know not when the Master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning; lest coming suddenly, he finds you asleep. And what I saw [sic] unto you I say unto all, Watch."
He served the Lutheran congregation as deacon from the beginning until New Year, and it was always his aith [sic] to do his duty faithfully, as it was his greatest pleasure to help in beautifying the house of God. In 1890 he came with his family to America and has always lived in Russell county.
He leaves to mourn him his widow, six sons, one daughter, two daughter in-laws, two grandchildren, his aged father-in-law, brother and sister-in-laws [sic], together with their families, the members of Immanuels congregation and a host of friends. The days of his pilgrimage here on earth were 63 years, 2 months and 20 days.
Funeral service waf [sic] conducted at the Lutheran church Sunday afternoon by Rev. F. W. Gahre, who based his words of consolation on Rev. 14:13: "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, said the Spirit, that they rest from their labors; and their works follow them."
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our sincere thanks to our neighbors and friends for their sympathy and kind deeds on the occasion of the death of our husband and father. To those who gave floral offerings, to Immanuels Lutheran congregation, and to all who rendered assistance at the funeral we extend our appreciation and thanks.
