This post was contributed to the Crawford County Chapter of OGS by Kristina Stearley as part of the Florence Siefert Scrapbook in 2010.
The scrapbook is compiled from undated, unidentified newspaper clippings involving events in the lives of Crawford County citizens living in or having connections to New Washington, Tiro, Shelby, Sulphur Springs, Chatfield, Bucyrus, Ashland, Mansfield, and other areas. Only minimal spelling or punctuation corrections were made. Unreadable areas are shown by underlines, dots &/or question marks. This collection has been scanned, “optical character recognized” (OCR’d), proofed, then coded for HTML by volunteers of the Crawford County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. Since the copies are not of the best quality errors may have been made. Please contact us if you find corrections needing to be made or can verify any missing dates which could be added.
Died
STICKEL.–At her home in Carlisle, with her daughter, Mrs. G. A. Comfort, Mrs. Catharine Stickel aged 84 years, 4 months and 15 days. She was born in 1800. She was a devoted Christian and a member of the Evangelical church for almost 50 years. To know her was to love her for her many virtues. She was a kind and loving mother, a kind and affectionate neighbor. She leaves one son and seven daughters to mourn ber loss. Their loss is her infinite gain. “Blessed are they who die in the Lord.”
Her earnest eyes to Heaven are bent
With yearning pure and lowly;
To follow where her saviour went
And join the angels holy.G.A.C.
