From the Ada Record, 5 Apr 1905 (Page 2):

Death of Thomas Stumm
The death of Thomas Stumm, which occurred Monday morning, April 3, 1905, removes 
from Ada one of its pioneer citizens. He came here with his parents in 1853.

Mr. Stumm was the third son of Philip and Rebecca Stumm and was born in Spring 
Hill township, Fayette county, Penna., on Aug. 13, 1831 and was therefore aged 73 
years, 7 months and 6 days.

He learned the cooper's trade and for many years after moving to Ada he was 
foreman in the large League cooperage establishment then the largest industry 
here. His father died Sept. 12, 1854 and except for short periods spent in Dayton 
and Chicago, Thomas had been a resident of Ada and from about 1868 until her 
death on April 1891 he made his home with his mother.

Mr. Stumm was never married nor had he affiliations with any lodge or church. He 
was an intelligent man and a man of good character and habits. He kept well 
posted on the current events of the day and was a man who attended strictly to 
his own affairs.

He leaves three brothers -- John C., of Iowa; Jeremiah, of Illinois; Philip W., 
of Paulding; their only sister, Mrs. Jonas Loutzenhiser.

The funeral occurred this forenoon at the Presbyterian church and was conducted 
by Rev. T. O. Christopher, assisted by Rev. J. F. Elder. The interment was at 
Woodlawn.

Philip W. Stumm paid the deceased several visits during his six weeks' illness 
and was here at the time of his death, later making all needed arrangements for 
the funeral. His death was due to a complication of diseases involving the heart 
and kidneys.
