Brief Sketch of the Life of the Late Stephen H. Klopp
Stephen Henry Klopp, son of D.B. and Anna Klopp, was born in Lester Township, Blackhawk County, Iowa on Sept. 26, 1865. He came to his death in a tragic accident on the boulevard between Marion and Cedar Rapids on the afternoon of November 28, while engaged in the duties to which life called him. He was 59 years, two months, and 2 days of age. In 1872 he came with his parents to live at Cedar Rapids. Since this time his entire life has been lived in this immediate vicinity.
He was united in marriage to Mary L. Stockbarger on November 20, 1890. Twelve children were born to this union all but one of whom survive, a son Orville having died in 1913 at the age of six years. Besides the wife there are six sons and five daughters who today mourn the passing away of a devoted and loving father. The sons are Daniel of Marion, Wilbur of Waverly, and Arthur, Lloyd, Loren, and Orville at home. The daughters are Mrs. Ida Bruce of Cedar Rapids, Mrs. Laura Bowser who with her family has just returned from Seattle, Wash. To make her home at Marion, and Irina and Gladys who are still at home. There are also six grand-children; one brother, Thomas Klopp of Cleveland, Ohio and three sisters: Mrs. Celinda McCurdy of Two Harbors, Minn, Mrs. Ida Patschke and Mrs. Rosa Seeks of Marion.
Mr. Klopp was a man of sterling character. Only words of the highest tribute are spoken in his behalf today. He traveled the path of duty with a fortitude and a fidelity that was truly commendable. He knew the strain of hard work throughout life and was found faithfully at his post of duty when death took him. He was a man of kindly qualities who was especially loved by the children both of his own house as well as of others who came to know him. His religion consisted chiefly in good works. He was a workman that needed not to be ashamed. He united with the Methodist church in Marion many years ago under the pastorate of Nathaniel Pye. The home has lost a loving father who gave himself in faithful ministry. The community has lost an honored and respected citizen."
