FRANK JOSEPH STINER - Obituary.


Frank Joseph STINER, son of Frank Joseph and Fanny STINER, was born
February 9, 1876, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and died October 7, 1944.

As a child he moved with his parents to Kansas City, where he attended
his first school.  Later the family moved to Haviland, Kans., where
they settled on a homestead.  He lived there until he was about 14
years of age.  In 1892 his father made the run into the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe territory, where he purchased land west of Kingfisher.  He
lived with his parents until 1902, at which time he purchased his
present farm home on Highway 33, 10 miles west of Kingfisher.  Here he
and his family lived until the time of his death.

He was united in marriage with Miss Grace GENDER on July 23, 1905.  To
this union four children were born, Opal, Milton, Paul and Virginia.
Opal preceded her father in death on December 15, 1915, at the age of
six years.

Mr. STINER confessed his faith in Christ, was baptized and became a
member of the local community church, where he retained his membership
until his death.

He was a good neighbor, always interested in the welfare of others and
ready to assist them in every way possible.  Through his quiet and
unassuming neighborliness he made and held through the years many
staunch friends.  He was a home-loving man, and provided well for the
material needs of his family.  He was a kind and considerate husband
and father, who sought to instill in the lives of his children faith,
purity and integrity.

Mr. STINER is survived by his wife, Mrs. Grace STINER;  two sons,
Milton STINER of Oklahoma City and Paul STINER, somewhere in the south
Pacific;  one daughter, Mrs. Virginia WROBBEL of Kingfisher;  four
sisters, Mrs. Anna WHITCHURCH of Vinita, Mrs. George CHRISTIAN of
Kingfisher, Dr. Emma BROWER of Okmulgee and Mrs. Rudolph CHLOUBER of
Kingfisher;  many other relatives and a host of friends.

Services were held at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 10, at the
Kingfisher Christian church, with Rev. G.O. BELL officiating.  Burial
was made in the Kingfisher cemetery, with the BRACKEN funeral home in
charge.
