PARK L. STUBBLEFIELD PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY
The many friends and neighbors of Park L. Stubblefield were deeply grieved to hear of his sudden death last Friday morning, the cause of which was given as heart failure. Mr. Stubblefield had attended the county fair at Greeley the day before his death and was feeling as well as usual until evening. The doctor was called a couple of times during the night and death came at about eight-thirty in the morning.
Park L. Stubblefield was born at Carrol, Iowa, August 12, 1868, and passed from this life at his home last Friday morning at the age of 59 years and 27 days. He was married to Mrs. Jennie Cummings, July 16th, 1903 and to them was born one daughter, Ruth. Mr. Stubblefield leaves beside his wife and daughter Ruth, his step-son Elton, who meant as much to him as his own boy, to survive him, three brothers: Elias, of Cando, N. D., Richard of Molta, Mont., and Elmer who also lives somewhere in Montana.
Mr. Stubblefield was a devoted member of The Methodist Episcopal Church and at the time of his death held the position as a steward. He was a firm believer in the home, the church and the school. The interests of his home were always on his heart and it held an exalted place in his life. His home was a sacred shrine of devotion, of trust and confidence, although it was but a humble one yet he saw that peace and fellowship and harmony prevailed there. The church held a very important place in his life, and he was always willing to sacrifice his time and pleasure for its upbuilding. He was so interested in the building of the new church and it was but a few weeks past that he and a few of his friends came to the Parsonage and asked if his Pastor would show him through the building and explain the different rooms so that he could visualize more plainly what the structure would be like. The last thing he did was to purchase a Memorial window on the west end of the main auditorium in memory of his wife's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hamilton, who toiled so faithfully for the church in the early days. I think the inscription on that window should also be in the memory of this man of God whose spirit and life reflected the teachings of his Christ.
Mr. Stubblefield was a great believer in the public schools and was a member of the school board for many years in his district.
Brother Stubblefield was a Mason whom his brethern will miss from their ranks. It was his request that the great order of which he was a member would have charge of the services at his grave. And by the grace of God and the help of his Masonic brothers his wish was fulfilled.
He and his wife waited to join the Eastern Star until their daughter Ruth could go in with them and they as a united family assumed the sacred obligations of the Eastern Star.
We bid him farewell, and pray that in God's good time we shall meet again on that glorious shore where there is no more pain or sorrow and where God shall wipe away all tears. Friends we turn from the grave, not as those who have no hope, but believing in the Eternal promises of Christ who said, "In my Father's house there are many mansions and I go to prepare a place for you"... "where I am there ye shall be also." We are richer today in spirit and soul for having known Mr. Stubblefield. Let us go forth with a greater determination to live our lives so that by the grace of God we may follow this, our brother.
Interment was made at The Mount Hope Cemetery at Scotia, September 12th, Rev. G. A. Randall in charge.
