    • Obit: Gospel Herald
      Stalter, --- Christian B., was born Aug. 14, 1868, in Tazewell Co., Ill., the son of Jacob and Barbara Stalter; passed away at the home of his nephew at Meadows, Ill., Feb. 8, 1953; aged 84 y. 5 m. 25 d. He had been in poor health for the past two years, having lost his eyesight and was confined to bed most of the time, but he was very patient through all of his afflictions. On Feb. 20, 1896, he was married to Lena Birkey, who preceded him in death in 1948. Surviving are 3 sons (Arthur J. and Ray, Washington, Ill.; and Levi, Eureka, Ill.), and 7 grandchildren. As a young man he confessed faith in Christ and united with the Mennonite Church, maintaining his faith in Christ and loyalty to the church to the end. He had been a member of the Waldo congregation for nearly forty years, worshiping with the church when it was possible for him to be present. Funeral services were held at the church, in charge of J. D. Hartzler, assisted by E. J. Stalter.
