The following article appeared in the April 10, 1900 Akron Beacon Journal, page 8, Column 6:


MEMORIAL SERVICE.

It Was Held For a High School Scholar.

Sunday at 2:30 p.m., was held the memorial service of Nellie M. Stambaugh at the Grace M.E. church. Her Sunday school class was present in company with many sorrowing friends of the deceased. Rev. Smith spoke feelingly of the sad death from diptheria which did not permit of a public service.

After other suitable remarks he introduced Professor Knight, of the Kent school, whose address was full of tender feeling for his pupil to whom he paid a high and deserving tribute as an earnest and faithful scholar. She had been attending the High School a part of a term when her health began to fail and from this time there was a steady and certain decline. She was born near Beach City, in Stark county, the 8th day of December 1883, and was therefore 16 years, three months, and 13 days of age.

She had fulfilled evey expectation to be kind, good and industrious and in return was much loved by all who knew her.

Her patience through all her suffering has been much spoken of and the beautiful smile a few minutes before she died along with the waving of her hand indicating a good-bye to her brothers, made hers a beaufitul death.

Rev. Jacob Lischy's Private Pastoral Records for Lischy's Reformed Church in York County, Pennsylvania, 1773 -1901 record the baptism of Henry Stambach who was born 14 September 1785 (this date is within 3 days of the birthdate calculated according to Rev. Henry Stambaugh's cemetery marker). His parents are identified as Philip and Margaret Stambach; the probablity that this is Henry, son of Philip and Barbara, but with some recording error, appears great. The baptismal sponsors were Jacob and Anna Hauser.

Reference is made to Henry in the Columbiana County Cemetery Inscriptions, Volume 14, as submitted by Carol Willsey Bell. The record originally appeared in the Ohio Patriot published in New Lisbon by William D. Lepper Saturday, 12 September 1829:


DIED Sunday morning last at the residence of John Watson in

at the advanced age of 75 years. The deceased had left home on foot, a distrance of several hundred miles, in search of two of
his sons, of whom no tidings were had until whitin a few days
of his demise and too late for information to reach them of his

In the biographical sketch of A.W. Stambaugh in History of Stark County with an outline sketch of Ohio edited by William Henry Perrin, his grandfather is identified as Rev. Henry Stambaugh. This source does not mention Henry and Catharina's children Jacob or Hannah but does mention a son "Josiah", a daughter, "Emma", and a second daughter bearing the name "Catharine" that are not mentioned in any other document or resource that I have yet found.

That same source explains that Henry married Catharine "...and with his family of children emigrated to Ohio, crossing the river at Pittsburg in a ferryboat. He came to New Lisbon, Ohio, where he rented land twelve years, but finally made his way to the county [Stark], and settled first in Nimishillen Tp., when it was all a wilderness; remaining here seven years, when, he removed to Canton and remained seven years, and finally located in Portage Co., where he died in 1866. He was a minister of the Albright faith, as were also John and Jacob, his brothers, but later in life joined the United Brethren Church. (page 968)."

According to that same county history, Henry's "...ancestor was Philip, a native of Alsace on the Rhine. He and several brothers came to York Co., Pa., and settled there previous to the war of the Revolution. The children of Philip were --- Jacob, Henry, John, Catharine, Mary and Elizabeth. Philip was remarkably fond of hunting and the chase, and upon his arrival in Pennsylvania, purchased several hundred acres of land at South Mountain, in Adams Co., Pa. (967)."
