| 9953 |  | Obituary- Stadler, Alfreda 2 https://mail. google. com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=0ec2d7fl7f&view=pt&se. Adrienne Olejnik Alfreda Stadler 1 message frank.ruff@juno.com To: director@rossvillelibrary.org Here is an obituary you might not have. She married my Uncle John Stadler. I thought her only connection was her marriage to John who was raised in Rossville. But, I was talking to their son yesterday and he said that Alfreda taught at Lipp School SE of Rossville. An interesting thing he told me. She was an indentured servant from the age of 7 to 18. I had never heard of indentured servants after the colonial times. I wouldn't believe him until he showed me documents he had finally gotten from the state of Minn, though they were not supposed to be released until after 100 years. I am guessing they had more children available than they could adopt out, so this was a way for the state to avoid raising the kids. If they didn't work hard or well enough they could be turned back in and indentured to someone else. Most were boys sent to work on farms. Back then, even free kids in rural areas often didn't go to school more than 4-8 years. No child labor laws back then. The indenture contract specified that upon their 18th birthday, they were to be given their freedom, S100, and two sets of clothing. Fortunately Alfreda was indentured to a minister and he provided for her education and even sent her to Emporia State Teachers College so she could become a teacher. http:.'Zwww. legacy. com/obituaries/cjonline/obituary.aspx?n“-Alfreda-Stadler&pid=124860616#fbLoggedOut Rossville Community Library Mail - Alfreda https://maiLgoogle.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=0ec2d7fl7f&view=pt&se. Adrienne Olejnik Alfreda 1 message frank.ruff@juno.com To: director@rossvillelibrary.org I just read Alfreda’s obituary. It was not Emporia State Teacher's College (the name in the 1950s but not now) but a presbyterian college in Emporia that she attended. When John said she attended college in Emporia, I said "Emporia State?" and he did not correct me. | |

He leaves behind him six sons and one daughter. The children are scattered through several states, one son, only, remaining at home. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church last Sunday afternoon, when the Rev. J. G. Mayer preached a funeral discourse, taking as his text Rev. XXI, last clause of 1st verse: - “And there was no more sea.” He explained that the sea, in its extent and its tossings, emblemstized separation, trouble, change and perpetual unrest. Also that the words of the text – “no more sea” – told of a time and a place when and where separation and disquietude will have no part or lot, and where perennial peace and perpetual joy will lave each and every inhabitant. Col. Stanley was a Freemason, and the services were conducted under the auspices of the Order, by request of the deceased. In addition to the members of Hesperian Lodge, a number of Masons from St. Marys, Silver Lake and Topeka were present. The church was crowded with relatives, friends, and members of the Order. The cavalcade and foot procession was one of the longest that ever wended its way to our cemetery. | |
