JOE STOMP IS GONE.



-------



Passed Away Last Thursday Evening, August 15th.



-------



Last Thursday evening, Joseph J. Stomp passed away, after a spell of sickness lasting several

weeks.  Typhoid fever and complications were the cause of his death.  Had his death occurred a

week earlier, nobody would have been surprised, but he lingered on so long that all had begun to

hope he would recover.  Indeed, the evening before his death, it was reported that he was better. 

However, on Thursday, he became worse, and continued to decline until death came to his relief.



The funeral services were held at the Catholic church Monday morning, conducted by Rev.

Father McInerny.  All of the members of the family except his brother Hubert--who is at

Honolulu--were present when Joe passed away.  After the services at the church, the body was

laid away in the Garnett Cemetery.



The Knights of Columbus, of which Joe was a member, held services Sunday evening.



Joseph J. Stomp was born in Garnett July 23, 1886, so he was thirty-two years of age.



He was married to Miss Jennie Plain, October 25, 1911, and theirs was a happy life--they were

devoted to each other.



Joe was an industrious, honorable, upright young man, and he enjoyed the utmost confidence and

respect of everyone who knew him.  He was a stone mason by trade, and he and his father

worked together, putting up many buildings in Garnett an Anderson county and building bridges

in this and adjoining counties.



His education was obtained in the Garnett schools, and he was a favorite among his schoolmates.



The deepest sympathy of the community goes out to the members of the sorrowing family.



Those from out of town who attended the funeral were John Stomp, jr., Oxford, Neb.; Herman

Stomp, Kansas City, Mo.; George Stomp, Fort Sill, Okla.; Mrs. Joseph Haake, Kansas City, Mo.;

Mrs. George Lauderdale, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. Lou Andres, Perry, Okla.; Mrs. Adam

Endres, Perry, Okla.; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ayers, Neodesha, Kas.; Mr. and Mrs. A.T. Plain and

Mrs. Hogan, Paola.

Card of Thanks.



We wish to express our most sincere thanks to the neighbors and friends for their helpfulness

during the sickness of our own dear one, and for the many words of comfort and acts of kindness

after his death.  Words are too weak to express our thankfulness.



Mrs. Jennie Stomp

Mr. and Mrs. John Stomp and family
