The death of John Stehle, Jan. 1, 1896, in the prime of his manhood was an unusually sad one. A year ago he was in his usual health, was enjoying his quiet life, and was attending to the business that had prospered in his hands; but he was stricken by the grippe, last February, and it affected his throat and lungs, and caused him intense suffering till the day of his death.
He was the third son of Thomas Stehle, who died seven years ago. He and his younger brother, Tom, started in business when they were yet boys, about twenty-five years ago. Tom died about ten years ago, and John succeeded in the business, and maintained it until ill health required him to sell his store to Mr. Grove. He was the last of the four sons of Thomas Stehle Sr., but his three sisters, Mrs. Pape, Mrs. Aland and Miss Lizzie, are yet living, as is also his mother, now in her 82nd year.
He leaves his wife, whose maiden name was Lena Morrel, and five sons.
