 Henry Stumpf, one of the
old residents of Collinsville, who came to the
city in 1872, and engaged at his trade of
shoemaker until compelled to retire from business
a number of years ago, died Sunday evening at the
family residence, 125 West Church street. Mr.
Stumpf has not been in vigorous health for the
past ten years, although able to be about until a
few weeks ago. He was widely known to the older
residents of the city, and nearly everybody who
lived in this city during a period dating back a
number of years knew Shoemaker Stumpf and his
garden, which was one of the best kept and most
fertile spots in the city. Mr. Stumpf always had
the earliest and finest of garden produce and
supplied many families regularly with their
supplies in this line. Frugal in habits, this
good old German type of citizen amassed a
competency and later years has lived at ease. He
was an earnest member of the German Evangelical
church, of this city, and generous in his support
of that institution.Mr. Stumpf was born at Gross Zimern,
Germany on the 23rd of December, 1838, and came
to this country when a boy. May 7, 1861, during
the Civil War he enlisted as a private in Company
F, Independent Regiment United States Reserve
Corps and served with distinction until September
22, 1864, being discharged at Atlanta, Georgia.
He was married to Mary Briedenbach and of this
union no children were born, and although the
couple were childless they practically reared 11
children. Besides the widow who survives, a
brother George Stumpf, of Kansas City, and a
sister Mrs. Mary Mueller, of this city. Also a
number of nephews and nieces. Will Osborn, of
this city, is a nephew and was reared by the
Stumpfs.
The funeral was
held Wednesday afternoon at 2 p.m. from the
German Evangelical church, conducted by Rev.
Bierbaum, the internment being at St. John’s
Evangelical cemetery. The community extends
sympathy to those bereaved.
