The Chadwick Review, Jan. 2, 1930
JOHN WESLEY STEIN AGE 44 DROPS DEAD

END COMES WHILE ON VISIT AT MILLEDGEVILLE

A PATROLMAN

SURVIVED BY WIFE, DAUGHTER AND TWO SONS

    John Wesley Stein was born in Fairhaven, Carroll county, Ill., on the 14th
day of October 1885, and died very suddenly of heart trouble at the home of his
sister in Milledgeville December 21, 1929 at the age of 44 years, 2 months and 7
days.

    The greater part of his life was passed in Fairhaven. Five years ago he
received the appointment as high way patrolman, at which time he moved with his
family to Mt. Carroll where he lived until the time of his death.

    Those of the immediate family who survive him are his wife, one daughter,
Emma; two sons, Orion and Vernon; his mother, of Chadwick two brothers, George
of Fairhaven, Lawrence of Chadwick; and a sister Mrs. Ross Coleman, of
Milledgeville. 

    He was baptized in infancy and two years ago he united with the Lutheran
church of Mt. Carroll, of which he was a faithful member to the time of his death.

    He was a quiet unassuming man with strong convictions. In his work he was
conscientious and faithful, taking his task seriously. He never spared himself
nor even thought of himself when duty called.

    He was highly respected by all who knew him and the esteem in which he was
held by his church is revealed by the fact that he was nominated recently for
one of the important offices in the church.

    His funeral services were held from his sister's home in Milledgeville and
from the Lutheran church in Chadwick, Tuesday afternoon. Rev. J. H. Fetterolf,
officiating, assisted by Rev. W. E. Bridges of Chadwick.
