The City of Rochester is today bereft of the temporal presence of an esteemed old citizen, whose daily walk in life was one of continuous honor and rectitude of character. It is this writer's province to proclaim this truth, since the subject of this brief eulogy lived next-door neighbor for a period of over forty-six years. That experience qualifies the statement of his exemplary citizenship beyond any question of doubt. Conviction is that our regret is counterparted by glorious advent to life celestiale, a thought to assuage family grief in the knowledge that his gain should be our glad admission of triumphant entry in that "house not made with hands." Peter J. STINGLY, son of Frederick and Anna E. MADARY STINGLY, was born at Basil, Ohio, January 18, 1856, entered higher life at his home, 1222 Madison street, Rochester, Ind., 315 a.m. May 19, 1936, aged 80 years, 4 months and 1 day. The deceased came to Fulton county with his parents and located in Liberty township, near Fulton, when he was a child of ten years. His boyhood comprised the duties and interests incident to farm life, and common school of pioneer days in Liberty township. He attended High School at Logansport and later took a course in business and penmanship in Hall's commercial school at Logansport, walking from home to school at intervals. It is a matter of interest that he taught his first term of school in Liberty township in his young manhood and continued as teacher for a number of years. March 21, 1880, Peter J. STINGLY and Mary A. EIKELBERNER were united in marriage, at the home of the late Andrew OLIVER, near Mud Creek, road 25. To their union two daughters were born, Mrs. Guy A. FISH, South Bend and Mrs. Walter MASON, residing in the home. Two granddaughters, Mrs. Arthur WILSON and Elizabeth FISH, and one great-granddaughter, Joyce Ann WILSON of South Bend. No other near relative, except his wife and one nephew at Peru, survive. Mr. Stingly was an honored and respected member of Fredonia Lodge No. 122, Knights of Pythias, thus continuing faithfully to the last. For a number of years he was a member of Citizens' Band, until his length of years and business interests precluded his pleasure in that line. About the year 1888 he was elected as Fulton County Surveyor on the Democratic ticket, which trust he filled with great credit to himself and satisfaction to the electorate. At a succeeding election he was succeeded by a Republican in a party "land slide," following his service of six years, after which he purchased the abstract business of the late Hugh M. [STEPHENSON] and Rome C. STEPHENSON, in which he prospered up to time of his demise. In all activities and contact with business and social life he was popularly known as an honored citizen, a gracious neighbor, loving husband and indulgent father, of whom no greater compliment can be voiced than to say he was a noble man. Funeral rites will be conducted at the Stingly home at 2:30 o'clock, Thursday, Rev. T. J. STOVALL in charge. Interment at I.O.O.F. cemetery. Friends desiring to witness the remains are welcome to call at the home up to the hour of funeral ceremony. ----- Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Thursday, May 21, 1936 The funeral services for the late Peter J. STINGLY, attorney and abstractor which were held from his residence at 1222 South Madison street this afternoon were largely attended. There were many beautiful floral tributes. The rites were in charge of Rev. T. L. STOVALL, pastor of the Grace Methodist Church of which organization the deceased was a member. Interment was made in the Odd Fellows cemetery. Mr. Stingly was the oldest active member of the Fulton County Bar Association. The Fulton circuit court adjourned this afternoon and Judge Robert MILLER and the members of the bar, attended the services in a body. Attorneys from a number of surrounding counties were also present. The deceased was stricken with paralysis while working in his office last Friday morning. Death occurred on Tuesday morning as a result of this stroke of paralysis. Mr. Stingly had been prominent in civic, church and social circles here for a number of years. He, in early life was a school teacher and later was elected county surveyor. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obituaries - 1936 by Jean C. and Wendell C. Tombaugh
