She confessed Christ as her Savior in early life under the ministry of Elder Mose Downing, uniting with the old Mt. Gillian Christian church. On February 16, 1870, she was united in marriage to Eugene T. Stoops. To this union five children were born, Lillian May, Winnie E., Warren T., LeRoy D. and Ralph O. Stoops. Her husband and three children, Winnie, Warren and LeRoy, preceded her in death. She leaves to mourn her departure, one daughter, Mrs. W. S. Haney of Cantril; one son Ralph O. Stoops of Centralia, Washington; two grandchildren, Craig E. Stoops, of near Bonaparte and Ralph E. Stoops of near Keosauqua; one half-sister, Mrs. Florence Reasor of Cedar Falls; also other relatives and many friends. Mrs. Stoops was the daughter of an old pioneer, her parents having come to Iowa from Ohio in 1846. She was also one of the pioneer school teachers of Van Buren county. Practically her whole life was lived in Van Buren county and in her passing the county has lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens. She was a member of the Cantril Christian church for many years, having transferred her membership to the Keosauqua Christian church upon her removal to that place. She has also been a member of the O. E. S. at Keosauqua for many years. Mother Stoops was a loving mother, a kind friend and a generous neighbor. She was an ardent lover of her home and family and will be greatly missed by those who knew her best.
