Death of Columbus Stahlman

Columbus Stahlman, a former resident of Knox Township, Jefferson County, and well known to many of our readers, died at his home in Sandy Township, Clearfield County, very suddenly Sunday night or early Monday morning of this week. Concerning his death Tuesday morning’s Courier said:

Shortly after 2 o’clock yesterday morning (January 25, 1909), Columbus Stahlman, a prominent citizen of Sandy Township, died at his home, 805 South Brady Street. Death was very sudden and came unexpectedly after he had retired in apparently good health and spirits, and was probably caused by an attack of heart trouble.

The deceased had attended the revival services in the Mt. Zion M. E. Church and returned home with his wife and talked with her until after midnight Sunday night without displaying any signs of approaching death. At 2 o’clock Mrs. Stahlman was awakened by her husband, who seemed to be in great agony. The neighbors were notified and medical aid summoned, but a physician arrived too late, death having already occurred. The exact cause of death is not known but heart trouble is supposed to have entered into the case. Several weeks ago he suffered an attack of grip but it was thought he had completely recuperated from that sickness.

The deceased was 65 years of age and had lived here several years, coming here from Jefferson County. He was quite wealthy, owning considerable real estate and farming land in Kane and this town.

Last Monday morning, arising at about 4 o'clock, Mrs. James Campbell spoke to her husband several times, but receiving no answer, approached the beside and found him gasping for breath and unable to speak.  The family were immediately aroused and a physician sent for, but without avail, dissolution having taken place a few moments after the departure of the messenger.

The deceased was born in Chester county, Pennsylvania, May 1, 1830, and was consequently a little over 59 years of age at his death.  He was reared on a farm and received his education in the public schools.  At the time he attained his majority, he emigrated to Jackson county, this state, where he worked on a farm for two years.  In October 1854, he came to Coe township, being one of the first settlers, and located 240 acres of land, but has since disposed of all but a homestead of 110 acres on which is a substantial residence and commodious farm buildings.

January 18, 1855, Mr. Campbell was married to Miss Euphemia Neely, in Jackson county.  Eight children were the result of the union, two of whom, Hattie and Charlie, are dead.  The remaining ones are Mesdames O. Hutchinson, O. C. Stahlman, L. D. Estee and Irad Struble, and Geo. B and Miss Ella Campbell.

The deceased has had several offices in township and district, and might have had anything in a political way he desired, but was not at all ambitious in that respect although often urged to accept nominations by friends who recognized his through honesty and sterling worth.

News of his sudden and unexpected death was received by friends all over the county, with honest and heartfelt regrets.

Thus has passed away another of the old pioneers of this section, who did so much toward making this one of the finest farming tracts of land in the state.  His friends were legion.  Enemies he had none.  His advice was eagerly sought in life, by both old and young.  His judgment was acknowledged by all to be mature and sound; his honesty and integrity unquestioned.  His word once given was good as his bond.  He was a man in every sense of the word: there are few like him and his is sincerely mourned.

The deceased was a member of the M. E. church, of this village, an earnest Christian, and carried his religion with him in his every day life. The funeral was held from the residence at 2 o'clock Wednesday, and was one of the largest ever held here.  Many flowers and floral offerings were brought by sorrowing friends, and the remains were lowered to their final resting place, while many a tear coursed down the cheeks of those who seldom give way to such burst of feeling. Rev. C. W. Smith, of Clare, officiated, assisted by Rev. E. L. Sinclair, and preached a beautiful and appropriate funeral sermon.

395. Michael R. Stahlman – The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The investigating officer in the 2007 trial of a Marine charged with killing several dozen Iraqi civilians died Sunday, less than three months after he sustained head injuries in a non-hostile incident in Iraq's Anbar province. Marine Col. Michael R. Stahlman, 45 and a Chevy Chase native, died at approximately 11:24 a.m. October 5, 2008 near his home in Yucca Valley, Calif.

Stahlman, a judge advocate and a 1985 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, had returned to the United States for treatment following his injury. He was assigned to Headquarters Battalion, Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, Calif.

"He was a great gentleman, truly," said Dale Saran, a Rhode Island reservist and attorney who met Stahlman in 1997 while interning at Camp Lejeune, N.C. "He was my review officer at Camp Lejeune. He was a real mentor to me the summer I worked for him, just a class act (and) a very good athlete."

Last month, Stahlman developed sepsis, a blood-stream infection, as a result of his head injuries. His death prompted an outpouring of condolences from friends and acquaintances on a blog dedicated to Stahlman's healing.

"Mike was a truly a stand-out among Marines I have worked with during my career," wrote one visitor to mikeonthemend.blogspot.com. "Whenever I asked him for help or advice, he would immediately respond. It always felt as if he dropped everything else to help me. Somehow, I feel that is the case with everyone Mike met."

Another writer said Stahlman "was the Marine that I should have been."

Last month, friends created the Stahlman Family Fund for Stahlman's wife, Kimberly Stahlman, and daughters McKenna and Piper. Kimberly Stahlman could not be reached for comment.

399. George D. Hamm

from Obituaries from The Clarion Democrat by Sally Jordan Reed pg 112 - 113

George D. Hamm – January 21, 1915 – In common with many old veterans of the civil war and numerous friends throughout the county, we bow our head with sorrow over the departure of our old veteran friend and fellow citizen, Mr. George D. Hamm, who passed out from this fair land to the fairer one beyond, in the hospital at Warren, Pa, Wednesday, January 13, 1915.  Mr. Hamm, in his day and generation, gave a distinct service to and for his home county, for the state and for the country at large. His life was offered as a willing sacrifice for the preservation of the union and the perpetuation of our liberty and freedom for all men within our borders, when on August 29, 1861, he left this county as an enlisted volunteer in Co. C, 78^th Regt. Of Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.

Then followed three years of service in which he faced all sorts of danger and endured all sorts of hardships to fully establish this as “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” This service joined to that of others settled forever the questions involved in that fratricidal contest. Mr. Hamm’s service was not given without sacrifice. He left his home where was wife and children who gave him up for this sacred service, and he laid on the alter of his country his life, his all. It was accepted, and through this life itself was not required, the service was effective in accomplishing the results for the attainment of which it was offered. He was made Color Sergeant some time previous to the battle of Stone River and the following incidents told in connection with the colors he bore so well are taken from the New Bethlehem Vindicator to illustrate how bravely and faithfully he performed his duties. “It was in the battle of Stone River that Mr. Hamm first attracted attention of his officers. Col. Snively ordered a charge, the men hesitated; Sergt. Hamm plunged into the river and waving the colors, cried, “Come on boys.” They followed, but Hamm, being far in advance, had the colors shot from his hands. He picked up the colors which had fallen on the river bank. Looking up, he saw a fine young southerner of 20 to 22 years, standing behind a tree 60 yards away. Sergt. Hamm rushed forward, sword in hand, and forced the Dixie soldier to surrender before he had time to reload his musket.

After serving his country faithfully and honorably for three years and two months he returned to Clarion county. The 78^th Regiment’s flag was shot to shreds and was replaced before the close of the war by another flag. At a regimental reunion several years after the war, Mr. Hamm was made custodian of the colors. He kept the flag in his home at Frogtown where he guarded it with sacred care until a few years ago when one noght he was awakened by the cracking of burning wood. He barely escaped from the burning building. Reaching a place of safety his first thought was of the flag – his flag – the flag he carried all through the dark days of the rebellion. A thousand demons could not have held him then. He rushed into the building which had become a fiery furnace. He was rescued – almost lifeless – every hair burned from his head; face blistered, hands charred.

After months of suffering, months of tender care and patient nursing, he was saved to his friends but the flag he loved and for which he had offered his life on this country’s alter, was no more.” Mr. Hamm was the son of John and Elizabeth (Bittenbender) Hamm and was born December 9, 1834, near Brinkerton. In 1855 he was united in marriage with miss Caroline Stahlman, of near Frogtown, and their union was blessed with nine children, three of whom preceded him to the other world, and his wife died a number of years ago. He is survived by the following children: Mrs. T.C. Wiser, Falls Creek; G.W. Hamm, Enon Valley, O.: Margaret Hamm, New Bethlehem; T.I. Hamm, Wilkinsburg, Mrs. Frank Hepler of Frogtown, and C.F. Hamm, Grove City.

The body of the deceased was taken to the home of his daughter in New Bethlehem, and from thence to the Leatherwood Baptist Church where services were conducted by Rev. George Kespelher, and it was laid to rest with the honors of war, a detail of Sons of Veterans performing the last service for the old hero. 

A personal word. The last time the writer talked with Mr. Hamm the subject of religion was mentioned, and in response to the question as to whether he was a Christian, he replied that he was and that he was trying to lead a Christian life and expressed his hope for the future as resting in the mercy of his Savior. Our last recollection of him is that conversation just prior to his leaving Clarion about two months ago and we could not help feeling his sincerity.
