Alabama Baptist 9/6/1894
Published in:

Alabama Baptist September 6, 1894 P3 C3

Bro Samuel E. Stokes died suddenly at his home, Daphne, Ala., August 7th.  A 
loarge family, a number of relatives and a host of friends mourn his death.  
With these we sympathize in their great loss.  Bro S was a man of large 
physique, remarkably hale and strong, although over seventy years of age.  His 
energy had brought him much of properity as well as adversity.  His view of 
life was practical, and like Paul, he was not ashamed to labor with his hands.

Reared, as he was, in the stormy period of Southern history, he was loyal to 
the South.  Her heroes furnished him a fruitful theme of conversation.  To the 
young it was a treat to sit at his feet and listen as he spoke of the past.

Bro S. loved the Bible.  He kept a copy on the desk in his store.  His family 
were brough up in hte fear of the Lord, and a happier home than his could not 
be found.  To the minister of the gospel he was a friend indeed.  He and his 
wife a daughter of the lamented Brother Schroebel, made their home the home of 
every preacher who sought rest and shelter.  Many of these will bless his 
memory.  He has left us, but we hope to meet again.


Additional Comments:
Samuel Stokes wife was Janie Schroebel.  Her sister Margaret was my GGG 
Grandmother.
