John F. Clingenpeel died on 2 July 1920 at Oregon at age 69 John F. Clingenpeel was born March 5, 1851 in Decatur County, Ind., and passed to his reward July 2, 1920, at Delphos Kansas, at the age of 69 years, three months and 27 days. At 20 years of age he came to Kansas, settling on a farm with his parents southwest of Delphos six miles, where they resided till in 1876, when the family returned east, locating at Kinmundy, Ill., where he met and married Miss Mattie R. Spiker, Oct. 16, 1877, returning to Kansas in 1878 where they have resided for the past 42 years, near Delphos. Two sons were born, and together with the wife and mother attended him in his last illness. The sons are Raymond and Elroy, both of Delphos. He leaves in addition, one grandchild, Madeline Clingenpeel, and three brothers, W.E., of Roseburg, Oregon; Lorenzo D., of Delphos, and Chas. T., of Santa Maria, California. Mr. Clingenpeel was an honest, hard-working citizen who did his duty quietly and without the blare of trumpets. By honest toil and capable management he and his good wife bought and paid for a valuable farm and had helped their sons start in life. On Monday, June 28th, he was stricken with apoplexy and was found near his barn where he had been about his evening chores and was carried home unconscious, in which condition he remained til his death four days later. Some years ago he made a profession of religion and though he never saw fit to unite with the church he both attended and supported its work. Counted by words he would not stand out among the great, but counted by a steady, faithful, honest, quiet life he was a success. He sought no man's silver or gold without due return and his deeds of kindness were done without show or prompt. In him a good man is gone. A good husband and father and a citizen the life of which the country needs more. Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church in Delphos Sunday afternoon, July 4th, assisted by G.S. Smith and Dr. E.H. Parkinson. Burial was in the Delphos Cemetery. From the Delphos Republican.

She was born near Brookville, Jefferson County on April 9, 1843, being 64 years, 6 months and 16 days old at the time of her death. She was the daughter of Joel and Mary SPYKER and a sister of Abner SPYKER, deceased, and the Mrs. Henry ALLSHOUSE, the last surviving member in a family of ten children. In 1861, she was united in marriage to Thomas EDMONDS. To them were born eight children, seven of whom with her husband survive. The surviving children are:
1. Mrs. G.G. LUCAS, Sigel
2. J.S. EDMONDS, Stuebenville, Ohio
3. Mrs. Albert BROSIUS, Brookville

5. Mrs. J.S. SWAB, Falls Creek
6. Myrtle E., at home
7. Roland, at home
All of these children were present at the funeral. She also leaves ten grandchildren.
In early life she united with the Lutheran Church, and as her health would permit, was faithful to its services and requirements.
She was an affectionate wife, a kind mother and good neighbor. Although she had a large family of her own to care for, her household cares were never so numerous to keep her from administering to the sick and dying of the neighborhood in which she lived. She was ever ready and willing to help
those in distress. No disease was so contagious to keep her from her duty.
About two years ago, she was stricken with paralysis, yet she bore her suffering patiently until the final summons came. She has gone to receive the glad welcome. "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord." She was laid to rest on Sabbath afternoon in St. John's Cemetery. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. FREY, pastor of the Grace Lutheran Church in Brookville. Source: Jeffersonian Democrat, October 31, 1907.
