BuriedForest Home Cemetery, Forest Junction, Wisconsin, USA Notes - Known as Arthur. Born in a log house on the family homestead in Wisconsin. He was an avid businessman, farmer, and promoter, holding many leadership positions. Owned first radio receiving set (1922) in area at Stanelle Auto Co., the first garage in area.
The following is from an Appleton, WI newspaper article that appeared on September 21, 1932, about the Forest Junction family, with family picture:
(Title) "Ten Boys and Six Girls Comprise Farm Family"
One of the most unusual gatherings held recently in Calumet Co. was the reunion of the Arthur Stanelle family, which consists of ten boys and six girls. The occasion was the sixieth birthday of Mr. Stanelle, who is known as Calumet Co. "clover king." The children range in age from 6 to 35 - five are married. One of the boys teaches school, and two attend high school. The Stanelle homestead consisted of 400 acres but was divided into three farms by Arthur's father, Arthur, Laymon and Harry each receiving an equal portion.
All 16 children were born on the homestead and were educated in the public school at Forest Junction. It required a large bobsled to bring them all to Sunday school and church, and the family occupied five pews in church. The boys constituted a complet baseball team, and five of them were members of a basketball team. In speaking of providing for the family larder Mr. Stanelle said, "It required from 2800 to 3000 pounds of pork and an entire beef, besides many chickens on special occasions during the course of a year. It was not unusual to see from seven to nine hogs hanging in a row at hog-killing time."
Between 400 and 500 large cans of fruit are preserved yearly, and 100 bushels of potatoes are consumed during the year. Mrs. Stanelle has spun the wool and knitted the stocking caps and sweaters for the family. A large double washing machine is required to do the laundry. Hattie usually did the ironing, and she thought something was amiss if she did not have from 22 to 25 Sunday shirts to iron and at least an equal number of workday shirts, besides aprons, dresses, and underwear. Upon special occasions, such as confirmation, any clothier would rub his hands in glee after having fitted out seven of eight of the Stanelle boys, and those selling women's goods felt equally elated after the sale of four or five dresses.
An extension table with 18 chairs graces the Stanelle dining room. From seven to eight chickens, five to six pies, and all other trimmings and dressings are required for a Sunday dinner at this home. Like their father and mother, the children are pictures of health. The Stanelle's take an active part in all civic movements and politics. Mr. Stanelle has threshed as much as 400 bushels of clover seed in one season. With his husky crew of ten boys, 40 loads of clover have been hauled into the barn in a single day.
The following article was printed in the local paper upon the death of Ada Elda Arthur Stanelle:
Arthur Stanelle, life-long resident of this community and for long years one of the most energetic promoters of community enterprise, died at his home here about 2:30 Sunday afternoon after a long illness that had confined him to his home since last spring. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon from the home with a service at the Evangelical Church at 1:30 conducted by Rev. Philip Schneider, local pastor, who was assisted by the Rev. J. P. Dorau of Fond du Lac, and the Rev. G. H. Blum of Appleton. Born in a log house here on June 21, 1872, he was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Gottleib Stanelle, pioneer settlers here, and he grew to manhood as the community was developing.
His energetic disposition and keen interest in affairs placed him in numerous positions of leadership, and, in connection with operation of a farm, he was associated with a variety of farm and business organizations. Among these was a canning company at Dundas, the Stanelle Auto Co., which constructed the first garage here in 1915, a Farmers' Equity, the Calumet Telephone Co., the Farm Bureau, the local fire department, and a community club, erecting a hall here in 1922. In addition,he served as a school clerk in his district for more than 15 years before resigning. He was town treasurer for a time over 30 years ago, and was still a town constable at the time of his death. Survivors include the widow, the former Anna Kloehn, six daughters, ten sons, three brothers, and 13 grandchildren. Burial was in the family plot at Forest Home Cemetary.
Excerpts from the Brillion News include:
June 7, 1912 - Arthur Stanelle has become agent for the Reo automobile.
April 27, 1922 - (Prices appearing in a Stanelle Auto Co. ad) - 12" steel walking plow $16.50; 15 tooth, spring tooth harrow $16; corn cultivator, 8 shovel, spring trip $43; Moline tractor, gang plow, electric lights and self starter $995; Moline grain drill, 6 ft. double disc $95; Monitor seeder, 12 bar $54; manure spreader, 75 bushel $136.
September 10, 1925 - Arthur Stanelle of Forest Jct., Kurt Huebner and Christ Miller of Cato, Max Gohre and son Ernst of Hilbert, autoed to Forest County Monday in Mr. Huebner's Hudson Sedan, returning the same day after a trip of 368 miles. At Seymour and Shawano, the party made a short stop and as usual, Mr. Stanelle started talking politics, upholding Bob LaFollette, Jr., as our next Senator. Mr. Stanelle found lot of willing ears in each city. The crops in the northern counties are fairly good, but they are not like Calumet County crops. Mr. Stanelle was surprised to see so much small corn, and in the northern part of Shawano, Langlade and Forest Counties, he surely did admire the large trees. Kurt Huebner and Art Stanelle jointly closed a deal in Forest County for about 40 car loads of logs. The party returned home that night well pleased with the trip but tired from the long ride.
May 21, 1926 - Neighbors have been assisting Arthur Stanelle at a vast earth hauling project to a spot where he will be erecting a large new barn this summer. The new building will replace two old barns, landmarks on the place, which were torn down about a month ago. About 700 2-yard wagon loads of red clay have been hauled at an average rate of 100 loads per day.
Additional notes:
In 1944 and for years prior, most of the Stanelle clan were known to be members of the Zion Evangelical United Brethren Church in Forest Junction.
