| Notes: |
Sophie was born on the Stimmler Carver County homestead west
of Victoria, Minnesota. She was 9 years old when the Anthony Stimmler
family, together with several other families, moved by wagon to
Clear Lake, Minnesota.
At the time of the January 16, 1920 U.S. Federal Census, Sophia was 49 years old and living with her husband Edward and their daughters Marie and Frances at their own residence under mortgage in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Both she and Edward were married when they were 24 years old. Her husband was working as a blacksmith at Pan Motor Company [Source: 1920 U.S. Federal Census, St. Cloud, Stearns County, Minnesota, Roll T625-863, Page 12A, E.D. 210]. At the time of the April 7, 1930 U.S. Federal Census, Sophia was 59 years old and living with her husband Edward and two roomers, Evelyn Threra (age 21, single) and Elegment Cummings (male age 18, single) in St. Cloud, Stearns County, Minnesota. She and Edward owned their own residence valued at $9,000; the family had a radio. Edward was working as a blacksmith at the paper mill [Source: 1930 U.S. Federal Census, St Cloud, Stearns, Minnesota; Roll T626-1131; Page 12B; E.D. 55]. Sophie was a member of the St. Clotilda's and the Holy Angels Altar Societies, the legion auxiliary of St. Cloud and the Sacred Heart Church in Sauk Rapids. She passed away of a lengthy illness on the afternoon of October 15, 1955. Robert R. Mullally talks about his grandmother: "Grandma was hit by a car in the early 1920s crossing the street on her way to church. She was near death for several weeks and as a result, had a shattered collar bone that caused her problems all the rest of her life. I remember how she would brace her elbow on a dresser so she could comb her hair. She was a wonderful grandmother. "We lived with them during my 1st grade, 1935-36, and spent many weekends with them. After Grandpa died she moved to an apartment next to our home. She took her principal meal with our family and spent a lot of time with us. We learned so much family history from her."
