STINE - John Adam STINE
Independent News, Shelby, Ohio 12 Oct 1876

On the 6th inst, at his late residence, John Adam STINE, aged 81 years, 7 months and 19 days.  Father Stine was born in Lebanon County, PA.  In 1833 he came to Ohio and lived five years in Clark County, from which place he moved to Richland County, where he lived the remainder of his days.  His family consisted of wife and seven children, of whom his wife and two children preceeded him to a better world.  In early life he united with the Ev. Lutheran Church, and for sixty years held fast to his profession of faith without wavering, a regular attendant upon the means of grace, leading a quiet and peaceable life.  During the last six months, while the outward man was rapidly perishing, the inward man was renewed day by day, so that he had a desire to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.  Death had no terrors to his mind.  When the hour of his departure came, without a groan and without a struggle he fell asleep in Jesus.  His funeral took place last Sabbath at the London Church, attended by a large congregation.  The funeral sermon was preached by Rev F. J. RUTH his former pastor, from the words, Weep not for me but weep for yourselves and for your children.
