STOVER, WILLIAM HENRY
(14 Jul 1927, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
William Henry Stover was born in Stewartsville, Missouri, May 1, 1854.  In
1875, with his parents, he went to Kansas to make their home.
He was married to Mattie Ollgire.  To them three children were born:
Stella, now deceased; Mrs. Charles D. Hall of Kansas City, Missouri, and
Florence J. Stover of Elk City.  Mr. Stover has six grandchildren and ten
great-grandchildren.  Two sisters also survive him, both living in
California; Mrs. J. N. Trickey of Balboa and Mrs. Joe Orenberger of
Middleton.
Death occurred at his home on West Third street last Saturday night about
nine o'clock, following a long illness.
In accordance with his wishes funeral services were conducted Sunday
evening at the Funeral Chapel of Grubitz & Son, by Rev. Tracy, pastor of
the Presbyterian Church.  The music was furnished by the choir of that
church.  The chapel was crowded with friends, the floral offerings were
many and beautiful, and the entire service was a testimony of the high
esteem his friends and neighbors felt for Mr. Stover.
