Reuben Earl Stagner married Aileen Lee Hollar on 23 December 1922. The couple moved to Stamford in 1938.
Services for Earl Stagner, 89, were held at Orient Street Church of Christ officiated by Richard Honaker, the local minister.
Mr. Stagner was a merchant and antique dealer later in life. I have an office table and a clock purchased from Mr. Stagner in 1979. Mr. Stagner was a member of the Church of Christ. He often talked about his years at Abilene Christian College having graduated there in 1922. His father died when he was young and his mother remarried. Mr. and Mrs. Stagner told so many stories of their younger years. He had a wagon brake attached to his shop and would always tell me the doctor had told him to "slow down."
Mr. Stagner spoke about owning a grocery store in Stamford near Oliver school where he served hamburgers and sandwiches. He also spoke about cleaning rugs by hand on his knees at the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells during the depression. Mr. Stagner was quite a man.
