Notes:

DEATH OF MRS. STAHLE

We are pained to report the death of Mrs. John Stahle, which occurred at the family residence in this village on Sunday afternoon last, in her 54th year. She had been suffering from cancer of the stomach for the past year. Although it was known that she was fatally afflicted the end came quite unexpectedly. She was able to walk about in her usual health until Saturday evening when she took suddenly ill and gradually grew worse until the end came shortly after noon. Mrs. Stahle (nee Miss Fredricka Hohnstein) was born in Germany, but was brought to this country with her parents when an Infant. In 1869 she was united in marriage to Mr. Stahle and they have lived in Wellesley continuously ever since. Ten children were born to them, all of whom are living except one. She was of a pleasant, kindly disposition and had won the love of a wide circle of warm friends. The funeral occurred yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, a vast concourse having gathered to pay this last tribute to the deceased lady. After the interment in the Lutheran cemetery the sorrowful gathering assembled in the church, where the pastor, Rev. D. Lochner preached a powerful and most impressive sermon. The sorrowing husband and family have the profound sympathy of the entire community in their great loss.
