County Republican & Press (Neillsville, Wis.) 08/19/1920 Stelloh, George (1
JAN 1897 - 12 Apr 1919) The funeral of
George Stelloh whose remains arrived from overseas Aug. 10th, was
held at the at the reformed Church Friday afternoon, Rev. D.
Grether officiating. A large number of ex-service men attended the
funeral to do him last honors. George Stelloh was born Jan. 1,
1897, on the farm in Pine Valley, Clark County, Wis., and grew to
young manhood there. He worked with his brothers in the machinery
supply house and in all his work he was industrious, prompt and
efficient. He was very intelligent and quick to acquire skill in
all kinds of work, and was so accommodating and ready to help that
all who met him, held him in high esteem. He was a member of old
Co. A. and went with them to the Border in 1916. When war was
declared in April 1917 he again responded and served all through
the war. As a machine gun man he encountered many dangers and had
many narrow escapes, but was not injured. After the Armistice he
was stationed with the army of occupation at Coblentz, Germany,
where he was taken with the flu and died April 12, 1919. His record
is clear; his life was clean and noble. He leaves four brothers:
Henry in Milwaukee; Fred, Conrad and Ed Stelloh living here; also
four sisters: Mrs. Anna Miller in Milwaukee, and Mrs. Wm. Zank,
Mrs. Arthur Stockwell and Mrs. Al Pagenkopf here. The family wishes
to express their high appreciation of the help and sympathy
received, and especially the kindness and interest shown by their
brother’s comrades, also for the floral offering and the
music.
