MRS. STOOPS DEAD Wife of Former Pastor Here Dead at Van Wert Home. WAS SICK LONG Was Sister of Mayor Judson W. Teeple and Mrs. J. L. Gay of Decatur. The death of Mrs. J. E. Stoops, wife of a former Decatur pastor, occurred this morning at 7:15 o’clock at her home in Van Wert, Ohio, after a long illness from tuberculosis. The death of this lady has been momentarily expected for several weeks, and her sisters, Mrs. J. L. Gay of this city, and Mrs. Jason Moser of Wren, Ohio, were at her bedside when she passed away. The Rev .Stoops, who has been in poor health for the past two years, is also in a very critical condition and it is thought cannot ilve long. It has seemingly been a life race between the two and so close was the race that attendants could not have determined which one would have been the winner. Mrs. Stoops was the daughter of John E. and Catherine Teeple of this county and was born on the homestead east of this city, fifty-two years ago last September. The father died only two years ago, but the mother is still living. The deceased grew to young womanhood here and in the spring of 1879 was married to J. E. Stoops. Mr. Stoops entered the ministry in the Evangelical church and was engaged for some twenty years in this conference, and served for about five years as a minister in the Decatur Evangelical church. At one time he was sent to a western conference and for five years preached in the state of Washington. He returned east and for three or four years served as a minister in the Van Wert church. For two years, however, he has lived a retired life, on account of failing health. A daughter, Miss Carrie, died three years ago on Christmas night, but three other children survive Mrs. Stoops. They are Della, Carl and Charles. Mrs. Stoops leaves two sisters—Mrs. J. L. Gay of this city and Mrs. Jason Moser of Wren. Ohio, and four brothers —Mayor Judson Teeple of this city; Zachariah, Ben B. and William H. Teeple. Mrs. Stoops was well known here and much beloved by all to whom her death will cause much sorrow, The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the M. E. church at Rivarre. Burial will take place in the Mt. Tabor cemetery.
