Son of Carl and Eleanor (Hilbers) Stich
Adolph was first married at Hillsdale, Michigan, to Miss Anna Winsor, who died at Independence in 1882. She was the mother of his three children: Eleanor, Adelaide and Carl, all of whom are now deceased. In 1888 Mr. Stich married Mrs. Kathleen E. (Stoy) Raisor, and she has since presided over their stately home in Independence and is one of the notable Kansas women. Mr. Stich lost his two children Carl and Adelaide within a few days of each other in August, 1898. His son Carl was then about twenty-five years of age, and the daughter Adelaide was three years younger and had spent a number of years in completing a thorough musical education in Europe.

A. C. Stich Passed Away Last Evening – Resident Since 1872
A. C. Stich, prominent banker and citizen of Independence since 1872, died at his home, 203 S. Fifth street, last evening at 8:15, surrounded by the immediate members of his family, and near friends, including Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Shulthis, E. R. Sewell, H. G. James, Dr. Floyd Poe and Dr. G. W. DeMott, the attending physician. Death came quietly and calmly, the aged citizen passing away in a peaceful sleep.
Stich was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1846, and had lived in Independence since 1872. With Henry Foster he engaged in the banking business in 1883 when they took over the Hull bank, which later became the Citizens National. Stich had been president of this bank since its organization. Almost every large industry in southeastern Kansas in recent years represented more or less Stich capital and he was extensively interested in the oil and cement business. While Stich was active in the promotion of the banking industry, he never held office in the state association.
For a number of years, Stich was prominent in state and district politics. He was a staunch Republican of the old school and was in 1908 and 1910 urged as a gubernatorial candidate. Both times he refused to enter the race. In 1910, Stich was behind the Thomas Wagstaff candidacy and was largely responsible for the stubborn fight which the Independence lawyer made against Governor Stubbs in the primaries. Stich never held political office.
Besides the sorrowing aged companion, he leaves to mourn his demise a granddaughter, Mrs. Milburn Hobson, and a niece, Mrs. Earl Sinclair of Tulsa. Arrangements for the funeral have not been made, pending word from distant friends.
