remarried a Mrs. Holtz in 1973. My grandfather, Henry, says
that there are still members of the Stoll family in the
Higginville, MO area." Linda sent this scan and
description: The two children in the front
(left to right) Dewey's daughter Marge and his
youngest brother, Clarence. The middle row (left to

Dewey and Gertrude's youngest sister, Marianna.
Next to Gertrude is Robert. (Robert is Dewey's son
who died at age 11). To the right of Robert is
Ottilda Stoll Zweigart and her 2nd from the
youngest son, Henry. Behind the middle row, left to
right is Sherman, the middle son of Ottilda, and
Fred "Fritz" Zweigart. The photo was taken in
Oregon. Terresa Stoll wrote that she is a granddaughter of
Ottilda Stoll Zweigarts brother Ed and his wife Meta
Holke Stoll. She made some corrections to the information
above where it says that her Grandpa and Grandmas
dates of death were unknown. Edward Stoll died on August 2,
1978 and his wife, Meta Holke Stoll died July 22, 1974. They
are buried in the Blackburn, MO cemetery. Terresa tells that
although it has been said that Ed was born in Alma, actually
he was born on the family farm outside of Concordia, MO. She
tells that between Concordia and Alma there was an area
called Stollville. It was on or near Great Grandpas
farm where most of the children were probably born. Since
there is not a trace of Stollville any more, she says that
either Alma or Concordia could be named the place of birth.
Edward had bought a farm northeast of Alma and that was
where Meta gave birth to their 8 children.
