Stegner, Ludwig Stegner Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, February 23, 1905 Ludwig Stegner was born July 27, 1818, in Rumbach, Rhine Province, Germany. In the 13th year he came to America with his parents. For two years they resided in Pennsylvania and then to Monroe county where he has lived ever since. In 1847 he was married to Miss Barbara Goertter. Ten children were born to this union?four sons and six daughters. He died February 7, 1905, and was buried at Lewisville on the 10th of February. His age was 87 years, six months and ten days. He was a thrifty, industrious man, facing in the days of his young manhood the trials of frontier life and not shirking the great task that he was to perform to establish a permanent home. He was a representative of that class of people who, by their labor and untiring efforts, made this county what it is, transforming if from a wilderness into a desirable place for habitation. He was respected by all who knew him. His long life was one of many experiences. He saw many days of sunshine as well as many days when clouds would darken the outlook. A host of friends gathered at the church to do him the last honor. He was buried in the Lewisville cemetery. Rev. Theo A. Haefele of Woodsfield officiating.
