Notes:

George and Julia were married when she was 15 and he was 18 years old.

George was a hardware dealer in Clear Lake and later a farmer. He also was the proprietor of Clear Lake Billiard and Pool Hall [see advertisement below].

In the 1900 census, George was living in Clear Lake township with his wife, son Gilbert, father, brother and one lodger, Mary Halfman, the eldest daughter of Theodore and Julia Halfman (née Kampa). In the 1910 census, George was living in Clear Lake with his wife and their six children.

On September 12, 1918, George was 42 years old and working as a farmer in Clear Lake, Sherburne, Minnesota. He was of medium build and height, with dark brown hair and blue eyes.

On Sept. 24, 1919 Val Imholte, George Stimmler, and Charles Meyers left for Flint, Michigan. They returned to Clear Lake with three Buick automobiles [The Clear Lake Times, 25 Sep 1919, p. 5, col. 1.].

Sunday morning, Oct. 4, 1919, a Ford touring car overturned opposite the Stimmler home, throwing out the occupants and severely injuring a child, who was taken to Dr. Gumper in Becker for treatment. They were westbound passengers and no one learned their names [The Clear Lake Times, 9 Oct 1919, p. 5, col. 2].

George was a member of the Clear Lake city council in October of 1919 [The Clear Lake Times, 29 Oct 1919, p. 4, col. 2].

The 1920 census found Julia and George living in Clear Lake with their eight children.

The Stimmler family moved to a farm about seven miles outside Clear Lake in the spring of 1927.
