John Stalter Passes Away
Another Civil War Veteran Crosses Great Divide
  John Stalter, Civil War veteran, passed away this morning at 6:30 o’clock, at the home of his 
daughter Mrs. Delphia Dawson, 509 Tenth street
  john Stalter was born on the 18th day of February, 1834 at Perry county, Ohio.  He was married 
to Jane Bryant in Wyandon county, Ohio at an early age, and the young couple made their home 
in Wyandote county, Ohio until 1850 when they moved to Franklin county, Kansas.  Here they 
lived on the ranch of John Brown, the noted abolitionist.  On John Brown’s last trip through 
Kansas he called one night at the Stalter home on his way to visit his brother in law, who lived 
nearby.
  during these troublesome times John Stalter was busily engaged in fighting border ruffians while 
his wife looked after their home, family and farm.  Mr. Stalter fought in the State Militia during 
this time on the Kansas Missouri line.
  While living in Franklin county his home and contents were destroyed by fire.
  In 1871, with five living children, three of his children having died, he and his good wife moved 
to Cowley county by wagon to take up frontier life in southern Kansas.  here they met with occasional 
hardships, which were interspersed with much good fortune.  They were successful in accumulating 
land and live stock and owned a ranch which became famed for miles around.  Prosperity was theirs 
for 15 years.
  In 1886-87 misfortune overtook them and in the bad turn in money matters they lost all of their 
property.  However, John Stalter was a man of determination.  He struggled bravely on and succeeded 
in accumulating an opulence.
  they moved to Woodward county, Oklahoma and from this place moved to Pacific Grove in 1903.  
John Starter’s wife died in Pacific Grove California, in the year 1909.
  He is survived by the following children.
  Mary K Yarbrough, Delphia Dawson, Edwin R. Stalter, Frederick L Stalter of Pacific Grove; John W. Stalter 
of Monterey; George H. Stalter of Fargo Oklahoma; Elena Snyder of Everett Washington.

No 331 F. & A.M. of which he was a member.
