John Stahl, for many years proprietor of a meat market in Elk City and
well known in business circles, died at his home here August 9th, aged 76
years, three months and 27 days.
Mr. Stahl was born in Waukasha, Wisconsin, April 12th, 1851.  When a small
boy he went to Milwaukee where he learned the meat business, living there
until he came to Cheyenne, Oklahoma.  Here he met and married Mattie
Cooper, to which union was born four children, Mrs. Lawrence Wallace,
Lloyd, Buster and Claude, all of whom survive him and who are residents of
this city.  His sons are still carrying on the business which he started,
the Palace Meat Market on South Main street.
The family came to Elk City in 1907, when he and O. L. Johnson established
the Elk City Packing House.  Later the business was dissolved and the
Palace Meat Market was started.
The funeral was held from St. Joseph's Church Saturday morning at 10
o'clock, Rev. Father Geerhart conducting the service, and interment was in
Fairlawn Cemetery, Grubitz & Son in charge of arrangements.
A host of friends extend sympathy to the bereaved wife and children in
their sorrow.
