CALLED TO REST.
Mr. John Stickler, was born in Miamaco, Ohio, in 1815. Was married in 1841, came to Iowa in 1856, locating in Appanoose Co., near Walnut City. Moved from Appanoose Co. to Wayne Co. in 1864, residing near Promise City.
In 1866 Mr. Stickler returned to Appanoose Co., locating near Cincinnati, of which place he has been a resident for 22 years.
Mr. Stickler united with the United Brethern [Brethren] church, in early Man-hood, and late in life united with the Dunkard church, of which he was a consistant [consistent] member at the time of his death.
Died Aug. 19th, 1899, at his home near Cincinnati, Iowa, age 83 years, 10 months and 23 days, he leaves a widow, and five children, two boys and three girls, and a very large number of friends, to mourn his loss.
The funeral services were held at the home, Aug. 20th at 4 o'clock p.m. conducted by W. E. Sauerman, pastor of the Congregational church. This service however, was only preliminary to the regular service, to be conducted at some future time, by the Pastor of the decease.
The remains were tenderly laid to rest in the West Cemetery, in Cincinnati.
Mr. Stickler came to his grave in a full age, like a shock of corn cometh in its season. He died victorious, through faith in Jesus Christ, which faith had been the sheet anchor of his soul through life.
He had great veneration for the Bible, and all things good, was regular at the means of the church of his choice, and did not seek for some excuse to stay away.
The family alter was not forsaken in his home and now he enjoys the blessedness of that rest that remaineth to the people of God.
Mr. Stickler was a devoted husband, a kind father, a consistant [consistent] and honored man in society, and beloved by all who knew him.
In taking his departure from the frail tabernacle, which was wrecked with pain, and had waxed old, the unmortal spirit shut up the windows, and said good-by for a time.
In God's good time those windows shall be opened the body resuscitated, and shall be refashioned, like Christ's glorious body, it shall be transformed into a condition which shall meet the wants of a beatific soul in its celestial dwelling place.
"Oh! precious tale of triumph, this!
And Martyr-blood shed to achieve it.
Of suffering past of present bliss.
In Jesus Christ to fall asleep."
