  • Notes 
    • Obit:
      Stalter. - Joseph, son of Joseph and Christene Stalter, was born near Gridley, Ill., Nov. 23, 1870; passed away at the Mennonite Hospital, Bloomington, Ill.; aged 77 y. 2 m. 9 d. For a year or more he had been in failing health, and was confined to bed for the last four weeks of his life. On Sept. 13, 1891, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Saltzman, who predeceased him. Surviving are 5 children (Mrs. Tillie Schertz, Metamora, Ill.; Edward and William, Gridley, Ill.; Ollie and Ethel, Flanagan, Ill.), 16 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, one brother (John, of Gridley), and one sister (Mrs. Barbara Saltzman, of Flanagan). One son (Arthur), 3 daughters (Edna, Mrs. Mattie Beller, and Mrs. Ella Rosehart), and 2 grandchildren preceded him in death. In his youth he accepted Christ as his personal Saviour and united with the Waldo Mennonite Church, of which he remained a member until death. At the time of his passing, when all his surviving children were at the bedside, he left a bright testimony that he was going on to join the loved ones who had gone before. Funeral services were held at the Waldo Church, in charge of J. D. Hartzler. Interment was made in the Waldo Cemetery.
