Based on the other individuals written on this headstone, I believe this to be Joesph J. Stampfli:
Judge Joseph Stampfli was born October 5, 1840 in Canton, Solothuria, Switzerland. His father, John Stampfli, was a merchant tailor by trade and came to Jefferson City in 1853. Joe apprenticed in the printing business but quit because of ill health.

He served in the Home Guard (UNION, Pvt., Cole Co. Home Guards, Co. B) in the Civil War but was compelled to abandon his duty on account of ill health. However, he followed the army work, organizing and mustering in 2-3 companies of soldiers.

In 1866, he was appointed deputy sheriff and collector under G. H. Dulle, and served about 4 years. He then spent 9 years as bookkeeper for Mr. Dulle before quitting due to poor health. In 1871, he was elected City Alderman, serving one term. In 1875 he became a dealer in furniture and undertakers� goods. He served as secretary and vice-president of the School Board. In 1882 he was elected presiding justice of Cole Co. Court.

Joe married Elizabeth Kolkmeyer who died in 1874, leaving him with two sons and two daughters.

In 1876 he married Josephine Philomena Hager, nee Freyvogel. The Stampflis were members of the Catholic Church. He was also a member of the Jefferson City Building & Loan Assn.
