Obituary Mrs. Stimson
Catherine Thiel was born at Schleisingerville ¬[today known as 'Slinger'], Washington Co., Wisconsin, July 26, 1850. While she was still a small child her parents moved to Green Lake Co., in the same state, where she grew to womanhood. At 21 years of age she united with the Congregational church in Ripon, Wis.
In 1872 she went with her husband John Henry Stimson to Fairmont, Winnebago Co., Minn., where 2 children were born. In 1874 they moved to Iowa and located near Lexington and the following year moved to their home 1 1/2 miles southwest of Conway, where she resided until she passed from this world at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning Feb. 15, 1921.
She united with the Presbyterian Church in Conway, where she attended as long as services were held in that church. Later she united with the Methodist church and attended services as often and as long as she was able. She was a firm believer.
She made many sacrifices for her home and family, enduring the hardships of early settlements and large family. There was nothing she would not sacrifice for the sake of her children.
Her last illness was of long duration and she was very patient until she passed away, being called to that home beyond.
She leaves to mourn her departure six children as follows: John of Clarinda, Iowa; James of Velben, South Dakota; Fred of Columbus, Ohio; Margaret and Garfield of Conway, Iowa; Francis of Palmer, Iowa; besides four brothers and four sisters.
Funeral services were held on Friday at the home and interment was made in Old Lexington cemetery. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Gable. There were a goodly attendance at the service of the neighbors and friends of this pioneer woman.
