LeRoy Dye Stoops, son of Eugene and Mary Stoops was born near Selma, Ia., Oct. 18, 1881, and departed this life at 11 o'clock the morning of April 29, 1927, at the St. Josephs hospital at Ottumwa, Iowa, at the age of 45 years, 6 months and 11 days. He joined the Methodist church at Pittsburg, Iowa, at the early age of 14 years and has never forgotten the sacred truths learned there, but was always ready and willing to do anything for the betterment and uplift of mankind. He was married to Addie Craig Dec. 24, 1902. To this union were born two sons, Craig and Ralph. All his life was spent in this county, having lived in the present home for 17 years. He numbered his friends by the score, these he always welcomed with a pleasant smile and cheery greeting, although many times he was suffering with pain. He was an honored member of Keosauqua Lodge No. A. F. & A. M.; Moore Chapter Nol 23, Royal Arch Masons; El Chanan Commandary, No. 28, Knights Templar; Lynd Chapter No 27, Order of Eastern Star, and Kaaba Temple, Order of the Mystic Shrine at Davenport, Iowa. His last illness was of short duration. All that willing hands and loving hearts could do was done, but to no avail. He was called home: his mission on earth was finished. His wife, two sons, mother and one sister, Mrs. Wm. Haney, of Cantril, Iowa,; a brother, Ralph Stoops, of Centralia, Washington, and many other relatives and friends survive to mourn the departure of a devoted husband, kind parent, loving son and brother and obliging neighbor. Funeral services were held from the home, Sunday afternoon, May 1, at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. C. Caughlan, of Milton, former pastor of M. E. Church at Keosauqua, assisted by Rev. M. H. Campbell of the Pittsburg circuit. C. P. Barker and wife sang three beautiful selections. The large funeral courtage, a mile in length headed by the Knights Templar escort preceeded to Pittsburg cemetery, where the Masonic order had charge of the services at the grave. _______________________________ We wish to thank our friends, neighbors and Masonic brethren for their sympathy and helping hands in the sad hours of our bereavemet, also for the beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. Addis Stoops and Sons.
