J. M. Stickelman
John Monroe Stickelman, son of John and Clara [McMillin] Stickelman, was born in Gallia county, Ohio, Feb. 28, 1846 and passed away Monday, August 2, 1937 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ed Glover in Bedford, Iowa, at the age of 91 years, 5 months and 4 days.
When but an infant six months old he moved with his parents to Fort Recovery in Mercer county, Ohio, where he resided until he became a man. In the year 1870 he, together with his mother, three brothers and one sister, moved to a farm near Siam, where he had since resided.
April 14, 1872 he was united in marriage to Mary A. Howe who passed away just two years later on April 14, 1874. To this union one daughter was born, Clara Gay. She passed away on May 6, 1874. He was united in marriage to Missouri A.[nn] Ingram Feb. 8, 1882 and to this union nine children were born, three sons and six daughters. Two of these children, one boy and one girl, died in infancy. His daughter Mrs. Elma E. Jeffers passed away Sept. 21, 1912, and his faithful and beloved wife also preceded him in death, passing away on Feb. 10, 1934.
Mr. Stickelman made the confession of his faith and placed his membership in the Church of Christ in Siam in the year 1874. This statement does not begin to express his interest in the Church of Christ. Throughout the years of his life he was vitally interested in the work of the Master. He loved the Word of God and made it the ruling power in his life. He was anxious concerning the spiritual welfare of all close around him. His devotion to the church made him a leader in his local church and during his lifetime he held every office of importance that is possible in the church's life. He served as a deacon for many years, and as an elder for many, many years. It can be truly said of him that he was a pillar of strength in the Church of Christ in Siam. His great faith in Christ and God remained with him until the end. He was not afraid to die, but on the other hand was ready and willing to go when God saw fit to take him. God was good to him and gave him many years of life. In turn Uncle John, as he was affectionately known, devoted the most of these years to his God.
Mr. Stickelman joined the I. O.F. lodge in 1868 and the masonic lodge in the year 1877. His lodge brothers will all testify to his good life. He was one of the active members of these organizations and because of his sincerity was given many posts of honor in the lodge of which he was a member.
Mr. Stickelman lived a very active life and because of his willingness to help others he made a host of friends. He was a fine neighbor, loved and respected by all people. He was a kind and generous husband and father and was deeply loved by all his family. While he lived long among us, and his passing away was expected, still he will be greatly missed by all his loved ones and his many many friends.
Mr. Stickelman is survived by his six children, A. [rthur] R. [oss] Stickelman of Siam, Mrs. Ed Glover and Mrs. Nellie [Elizabeth] Cobb of Bedford, Mrs. Rowe Bradley of Winterhaven, Calif., Mrs. Elda Henderson and [John] Lloyd Stickelman of Bedford; also his brother, Elliott E. [lmer] Stickelman of Braddyville, seventeen grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren.

Died, of lung fever, on Friday last, at 8 oÕclock, Bessie, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. [Martin] Spurgeon, aged 14 months and 5 days. Funeral services were conducted at the residence of the parents on Saturday the 24th inst. By Rev. Scott.
The following lines in memoriam were written by Maggie Harris, cousin of the deceased, aged about 13 years.
Toll the bell in sadness,
Tearfully bow the head,
All are crushed with sorrow.
Little Bessie is dead.
Another from our midst is taken
Loved and petted by us all,
Gone from among our number
To answer our SaviourÕs call.
She was the loving household sister;
With her our joy disappears.
How each of us will miss her
All the weary, coming years.
Bessie will not smile nor waken.
She will take her pleasant rest.
After four long weeks of suffering
Our little Darling is at rest.
ÔTis again Death comes in silence,
ÔTwas a still but fearful guest,
And has chosen from among us
The brightest and the best.
Death entered that sorrowing household
And laid his icy hand
Upon the head of that bright daughter,
And left there a broken band.
