CHARLES A. STOLL.
Following an illness which confined
him to his bed for five weeks, Charles A.
Stoll, one of the pioneer citizens of New
Ulm, passed away at his home on South
, German Street, last Thursday afternoon
| at 200 o'clock. Last July he contracted
La Grippe which developed kidney
trouble and since that time he has been
unable to work.
The deceased was born in Bromberg,
Province of Posen, Germany, August
27, 1850, and came to America with his
parents in 1854, when he was only
four years old. They first settled in
Chicago, whele they lived for about
two years, thence coming to New Ulm
in 1856. He learned the wagon makers
trade and later on secured employment
in the hardware store conducted by M.
Mullen and continued as general me-
chanic in the hardware store under
Jacob Klossner, Jr. When the city
decided to install their city water works
plant, the unanimous choice Of the city
gave him the position as Superintendent
of the plant and he filled this position
admirably until 1902, when the electric
light department was added which re-
quired the appointment of someone
thoroly acquainted with the electric
part of the work. Mr.. Stoll then retired
from the city's employment. Shortly
after that he established himself in the
plumbing business on Second North
Street, which he conducted for the period
OF nine years. Since the Union Hospitals
was opened he has had charge of the
heating plant of that institution.
The deceased took an active interest
in matters pertaining to the civic well
fare of the city and he was for almost
half a century connected with the New
Ulm Fire Department and was the last
surviving active charter member of the
original organization. He also was
charter member of the original Gov
"ernor's Guards and was for some years
First lieutenant of this military unit,
which was in fact the real beginning OF
Co. A. He was one of the charter men,
bers of the New Ulm Maennerchor and
continued as an active member until
the singing society went out OF existence.
At the time of his death Mr.. Stoll was an
active member of Monument Lodge
O. D. H. S.
He was married September II, 1871
to Mary Vogtel who survives him.
To this union six children were born
of whom the following four survive:
Mrs. Albert H. Spaeth, VIM. Stoll, Ed
ward A. Stoll, and Mrs. C. E. Poynter,
all of this city. He is also survived by
one brother, Julius, Stoll, of Howard Lake.
The funeral was held from the Erie
dens Church Saturday afternoon under
the auspices of the New Ulm Fire Depart
ment. Rev. Geo. Mayer oficiated and
a quartette consisting of VIM. Pfaender,
Otto Wichtel, VIM. G. Alvin and Otto
Kohn rendered appropriate music. Inter
ment was made in the city cemetery.
There are few, if any, in the city, who
have won the confidence of the citizens
that Mr.. Stoll enjoyed. He always
showed ready and willing disposition
to be Of service to the city and his passing
was marked by sincere regret on the part
Of those with whom he had been asso-
ciated in, public as well as private life.
