Obituary
Lois Beverly Stille was born on the Stille farm two miles west of Klemme on the
23rd day of November, 1930, the youngest of three children, born to her parents,
Lester and Helen Hartzell Stille.
Her childhood years were spent on the farm, where she completed her common
school education in a rural school nearby. She attended the Klemme High School,
graduating with a class of 32 in 1948. She attended Waldorf College for one
year, and then completed a course of training in an Airline School at Kansas
City.
She attended religious instruction, was confirmed and became a member of the
Methodist Church in 1940. Later she taught some of the classes in the Church
Bible School. She was also a member of the Legion Auxiliary. She was employed
for a while in the office of the Ordinance Plant at Burlington, Iowa and then
moved to Des Moines, Iowa, where she found employment as a stenographer in 'he
"Out-Patient" division of the Veteran's Administration.
She was kind and affectionate to the family at home, and was well liked by her
classmates and the younger set of our community.
On Sunday morning, June 7th, her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. George Hartzell of
Des Moines, called for Lois Stille and Marilyn Ludeke, and this group intended
to motor to Cedar Falls to attend a reunion of the Hartzell family.
But, while traveling on Highway 14, near Conrad, Iowa, an accident occurred,
which placed three of their party in the hospital, and abruptly ended the life
of Lois Stille.
She was proceeded in death by a brother, who died as an infant, and by her
father, Lester Stille, who died in 1952.
She reached the age of 22 years, 8 months, and 15 days, and leaves to mourn her
passing: her mother, Mrs. Helen Stille, Klemme; one sister, Ruth, Mrs. Lavon
Tue, Clear Lake; one Grandmother, Mrs. Lydia Hartzell, 91, Cedar Falls, and a
host of more distant relatives and friends.
