    Notes 
    • from the "History of Sheboygan County" p596
      ...was born at Batavia on 5 Feb 1887, and pursued her education in the Sherman public school, the Batavia parochial school and the Plymouth high school.

      From the Lutheran Witness, March 1966 p.8
      "Lutherans You Must Meet/Lay Ministries"
      Asked about the 32-year record of Sunday school teaching she had compiled last January, Mrs. Selma Stolper had no secret formula to announce to the world.
      "I am just a plain woman who started teaching God's message to little children," she said, "and suddenly it has added up to 32 years."
      Her modest statement, however, according to her pastor, Rev. G.A. Karpinsky, "belies her very deep sense of responsibility, her leadership qualities, her generosity and friendliness, and above all, the inspiration she has been to so many for so many years." The board of parish education and Sunday school superintendent of St John's Church, Plymouth, noted: "We know how much she has meant to us, and we are very proud of her".
      She, by preference has been in the beginners and nursery departments. It is one of her particular delights in recent years to have as pupils the children of pupils who attended her classes in the 30s and early 40s. She began her teaching shortly after her husband died in 1933.
