Gregor Stahl Chilton Times November 25, 1916
PIONEER OF EATON DIES
Gregor Stahl, better known in Manitowoc and Calumet counties as George Stahl, died at his home in the town of Eaton on Wednesday morning, Nov. 22nd after an illness of only a few days. Death was the result of gall stones and heart failure.
The deceased was born in Bavaria, Germany, July 12, 1844, and came to America with his parents in 1851. They went direct to St. Louis, Mo., where they remained but a short time and then moved to Two Rivers, this state, locating on a farm where they lived for two years. From there they went to St. Nazianz to assist Father Oswald, who had established a colony there, in clearing the land and preparing it for cultivation.
They remained at St. Nazianz until 1867 when Mr. Stahl purchased the homestead on which he resided until death called him. In 1870 he was married to Miss Josephine Zech at St. Nazianz. Eleven children were born to them five of whom preceded him to the grave. He was a man highly respected in the community and well liked by all who knew him. His death is deeply felt by all. He is survived by a widow, sons, John, Henry and Miss Mary at home, Henry on the adjoining farm, Mrs. Katie Salm of the town of Meeme and Mrs. Henry Salm of Chilton city.
The funeral will be held today from St. Gregory church at St. Nazianz.
