The Last sad Rites Performed and Une of
‘Somerset County’s Noblest Bons Lad to
Rest.—A Few Facts snd Thoughts
Concerning the Life and Death of
a Truly Great Man.
The last sad rites over the remains of
all that was mortal of the late lamented
Dr. C. G. Stutzman, were performed in
|| 8t. John's Lutheran church, in this city,
last Saturday, the ceremonies being con-
ducted by Rev. Settlemeyer, of Rock-
wood, assisted by Rev. M. L. Young, of
Meversiale, and Rev. W. W. Kribbs, the
local minister of the Lutherun church.
The large edifice was thronged to its
utmost capacity. long before the tuneral
train arrived from Rockwood, for every:
‘body wanted to be present when the last
tribute af respect was paid to oie whom
they all loved as dearly us a kind father
loveth bis children.
After the funeral train arrived the re-
maina of the deceased were promptly
conveyed to the church and the funeral
sermon preached, and to say the least it
was indeed asad scene, Everybody keen-
ly felt the loss of ome so dear to their,
hearts and so useful to the world at large.
There were few dry eyes in the house,
and well might ‘the people mourn and
shed tears, for Somerset county never
had a nobler son than Dr. C. G. Stutz:
man.
‘He was a man of bumantiy in the full-
est sense of the word, and those in dis-
tress whom he relieved and nided during
big life could probably be numbered by
the thousand. No one ever went to him
for help and was turned away empty:
handed. It was not in the doctor's na:
ture ta say “no” when he was called on
«| for help; neither did he wait for people
to come to him when in need of aid; bat.
‘yoluntarily relieved those in distress when
be knew of their: troubles. Oh, how
| much a community ‘loses when sucha
man goes to his grave!’ Doctor Stutzman
was 8 truly great man, for what is great-
er, what is nobler Yhaw to do good unto
others? And while he was very rugged in
some of his natnre, hé was ns gentle as a |
child ‘regarding the feelings of others:
He was very tender-hearted and easily
moved to tears when beholding the suf-
ferings of a feilow mortal, and many a
time did the editor of this paper see the
tears roll down his cheeks. when gazing
fupon the mangled form of some poor
fellow ornshied in the mines or injurad in
some other way. But there. is no use for
us to dwell on the nature and disposition
of the deceased, for we could net do his
honored name justice if we devoted this:
We will |
whole paper to eulogizing him.
therefore give a short account of his ca-
reer, much of which we gather from the
pages of the history of Soierset county,
Dr. C. G. Btutzman was the descendant
of one of the oldest, most prominent,
public-spirited - and progressive’ families
of this section, he being a son of Hon.
Jost J. Stutzman. Dr. Stutzman. was
born Ooc. 2nd. 1829, so it will be seen
that he was over 68 years old: when he
died. In addition to instruction received |
from his father he was the pupil of his
brother, Joseph J.. and therefore became
well versed in the classics, a knowledge
of:which is go desirable to a member of
the medical fraternity.
Having arrived at ‘the age when one
must mark out his future course in life,
he decided to become a disciple of Es-
culapius, and at once repaired to Cincin-
nati, where he became a student io the
Eclectic Medical College of Cincinnati,
from which institution he gaduated in
18561.
He commenced his practice in \ Meyers.
dale, but one year subsequent he matric-
ulated in the University of Pennsylvania,
he eitending one session, after which he
established himself at Sand Patch, as
physician to the tunnel. | From this place
he removed to Petersburg, where he prac-
ticed but one year. when he, in company
with Barnard D. Holbrook, went to Ne-
braska and surveyed a large tract of land
for the government, After this he went
to Iowa and took up the line of march
for Pike’s Peak, which was then the ob-
jective point for thousands attracted west:
ward by the golden prize so temptingly de-
scribed by thoseinterested. * From Pike's
Peak he afterward went to Californiwand
located at Humbug mine, in the northern
part of the state, in 1850. Here he prac-
ticed his profession for three years and

in mining for two years and met with
some sticcess. The doctor then returned
to Salisbury, Pa., his native village, after
an absence of eight years, having experi-
enced both the pleasures ang hardships
After re-
turning to Salisbury le purchased the
| practice of Dr. M.A: R. F. Cafr and re-
sided here until a few vears ago, when
he removed to Rockwood, at which place
he died last Thursday, Dec. 24th.
As a physician he stood very high in
the profession, and as a thorough gentle-
man he had no supérior. He was a man
j1of very fine personal appearance and
:{ great physical strength. :
The disease of which he died was palsy.
He was stricken six different times with:
in the last four years, ihe last stroke
The editor of this paper
received a letter from bim just one day
before he died, which was in all proba-
bility: the last letter he ever wrote or had
written, The letter was answered imme-
diately, and our letter to him was the last
he ever received. He was informed of
our letter to him, but alas! the death
dew had siready settled so thickly over
him that he never knew its contents, a
fact which we greatly regret. asthe letter
was one thanking him for some valuable
favors he had ‘extended to us. But lie is
now better rewarded than our thanks
could possibly have rejwarded him.
But Dr. Stutzman is not dead, for the
good never die. Although he sleeps he-
neath the cold clods of the valley, his
noble deeds still live. Earth Jus lost a
noble son, but Heaven has gained une
more gentle soul, He resis in peace. and
a merciful God will be merciful to him,
for he was a merciful man... Sweet be
thy slumber in the silent grave; calm be’
thy repose. Rest, rest.on, rest in peage.

BINCE reading the Inst iesue of the
Carleton (Neb.) Reporter, the question
suggests itself, “Why do the heathen
rage and the wicked imagine vain things?’
Bome 2-cent fool vents his spleen on the
editor of this paper, now that he js over
1,800 miles away from Carleton. He
seems’ 10 be hurt because we received |
many kind words-and compliments from
nearly ‘all aver the state of Nebraska be-
fore leaving there. and in a pitiable strain
‘he tries to belittle the editor of this pa-
iper by publishing a half-colamn of the
most infernal rot and the blackest lies
that were probably ever put in print,
Of course he hasan old grudge to pay off,
and being too cowardly to pay it off when
we were in every-day hailing distance,
he, like all cowardly curs, takes advan:
tage of the long distance between us.

oes on to tell how much a better paper
Carleton now has than when we pub-
lished The ‘l'imes there. Well, all that
we have to say now. is that if the Carle-

to be used to throw mud at one who has
never in any way fiujured it, but on the
other hand befriended it by furnishing it
information it requested, even when not
80 much as a stamp was enclosed fora
reply, why, it isallrighttous. We don’t
think strange of an enemy trying to in-
jure his foes, but just why the Reporter
man should allow his columns to be used
to defame one who has never injured
him, and a brother in the same secret
society at that, trying to injure oné who

days, but we are of the opinion that if
