F.A. Stall was born in the province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia, Germany. He emigrated to America in 1852 and settled in New Orleans. From there he went to Sparta, La., where he made his home for many years. In 1862 he enlisted in the Confederate army, and, being a shoemaker by trade, he was detailed as shoemaker for Polignac's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department, in which capacity he served till the close of the war.
He had two brothers in America, Julius and Ben. The former belonged to the Ninth Louisiana Regiment, A.N.V., and was killed in the Battle of Chancellorsville. Comrade Stall went to Wellington, Tex., in 1898, and was a member of Walthall Camp there at his death, which occurred on April 26.
Intellectually he was above the average, his mind being well trained and active to the last. For nearly fifty years he was a member of the Methodist Church, and he was a bright Mason, being a life member of his lodge and its Worshipful Master for a year. He was buried with Masonic honors.
