Jefferson County Record
March 13, 1913
Part 4


In Memoriam

Joseph E. STEGMANN was born in Hillsboro, Mo. August 10, 1869 and
died in St. Louis March 7, 1913. He graduated from Beaumont Medical
College in 1895 and although he in part worked his way through the school
he was the leader of his class.

He has lived his life almost wholly in Jefferson County at Frumet and at
Hillsboro practising his profession at both places. The Doctor had his
faults but they were of the kind that affected mostly his own life and the
lives of his own family. If he had faults he paid the penalty without
complaint and without bitterness and suffered in silence, unkindness from
his fellows, where he should have received encouragement and help.
He was a man of fine mentality and was recognized by the profession as
a physician of more than usual ability. His nature was generous and the
spirit of charity was a part of his being. The call for his professional
service was to him a call to duty and he never failed to answer the call no
matter from whence it came. He was masonic in his ideals and in the
years we have known him we can truthfully say that we never heard him
speak evil of any one, but was generously tolerant of the faults and foibles
of others. Though he had frailties, he possesed many virtues; though he
had weakness, he possesed much strength; though unkind to his own
interests and to himself he was unfailingly kind to others; though he did not
help himself, he used his utmost strength and power to help those who
most needed help. Judged by the critical standards of the world he failed
to live up to the splendid ability that was inherent in him, but in the exercise
of the spirit of charity and acts of loving kindness who shall say that he failed.
If loving tender ministration to the needy and suffering, if thoughtful
consideration of the aged the weak and the helpless, shall count in the
award, who shall say that there shall not be many stars in his crown.
