Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Following is the text of two obits for my great-grandfather. Unfortunately the source that gave these to me failed to give me the names of the papers they were listed in. However, I believe they would most likely be ones from Somerset and Roseville, since that is where he lived most of his life. I hope this helps someone in their research.--Charlie =============================================== CHARLES FREDERICK STICKLE CHARLES FREDERICK STICKLE, son of DANIEL M. and CATHERINE STICKEL, was born July 1, 1842, in Somerset, Perry county, Ohio. He departed this life November 23, 1928, aged 86 years, 4 months and 22 days. He was the last of thirteen children. As a child he was brought unto the Lord in baptism and later was confirmed and united with the local Lutheran church. On April 2, 1871, he was united in marriage to MISS PHIDELIA J. JONES. To them eight children were born, two of whom, GEORGE and MRS. JESSIE MOORE preceded him in death. When the war broke out in 1860, MR. STICKEL volunteered in Company G, Thirty-first Regiment, O.V.I. He was wounded at Missionary Ridge, Nov. 25, 1863 but after a season of hospitalization he re-enlisted and served throughout the remainder of the war. He was with GENERAL SHERMAN on his 'March to the Sea.' He was honorably discharged on July 25, 1865. MR. STICKEL carried the effects of his war wound throughout the remainder of his life. MR. STICKEL was engaged in the tannery business but when this business grew slack he became a butcher. His business dealings were all characterized by the most scrupulous honesty. He was a most considerate husband and a kind father. He was a friend of children, always having candy or some little gifts to share with them. He was interested in public affairs and in people in general. One very beautiful thing he and his good wife did, an act that will always be looked upon and remebered in this community as exemplary, was that these two people took three children of their deceased daughter and son-in-law and made a home for them. MR. STICKEL is survived by the following near relatives: His aged wife, five sons, DONALD of New Lexington, FRANK of Somerset, FRED of Zanesville, CHARLES of Newark, SHERMAN of East Fultonham; 22 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews. During his long life MR. STICKEL made a host of friends who will mourn his departure.---- ====================================== CHARLES F.
