HERMAN STOLL DIES SUDDENLY
Found in the Bathroom of His Home on Tuesday Afternoon
The community was shocked on Tuesday afternoon, when the news spread that 
Herman Stoll, one of Kiel’s well-known citizens was dead. He was found in 
an unconscious condition in the bathroom of his home at about 3 o’clock, 
and expired soon after. Mr. Stoll had been in poor health for some time, 
but the attending physician said his condition was improving.
Deceased was born in Rockville, February 25, 1868, where he grew to manhood.
He was united in marriage in 1892 to Katherine Mattes, after which the couple 
took up their residence in Kiel, where Mr. Stoll was local agent for the K. 
Schreier Co., which position he held until the concern discontinued its branch 
in Kiel. Since then he was employed at different jobs until his failing health 
compelled him to remain at home.
Mr. Stoll was a modest, unassuming man, attending strictly to his own affairs, 
and thereby meriting the respect and good will of all who knew him.
Deceased is survived by his grief-stricken widow and six children, as follows: 
Mrs. Otto Tagge of New Holstein. Mrs. Edwin Radloff of Plymouth, Mrs. Arno 
Eckardt of Kiel, and Miss Julia at home; August Stoll of Kiel and Hugo Stoll
of Madison; also four grandchildren, one brother, Ferdinand, of Rockville, and 
two sisters, Mrs. Wm. Gruhle of Rockville and Mrs. Herman Reichert of Millhome 
survive him. One son, Harry, lost his life some years ago, by drowning in the 
millpond.
The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon, Rev. W. Rech officiating.
Interment in the Kiel cemetery.
