Mr. Stumpp was educated in Germany and France, and upon coming to America entered the employ of a seed house. In this and other employments, by the practice of frugality and economy, he was enabled, in 1885, to engage in business for himself, and since that year has conducted at 88 Gansevoort Street, New York City, one of the most successful seed establishments in the country. He has established a large trade and is widely known as a man of integrity, ability, and enterprise. Mr. Stumpp takes an active interest in the affairs of West Hoboken, where he established himself in the dry goods business in 1875, opening a store at 401 Hackensack Plank Road. He has continued this business in connection with his New York house with marked success. He is a public spirited, patriotic, and progressive citizen. Mr. Stumpp married Miss Rebecca Brett, of Fishkill, N. Y., by whom he has four children: Margaret, Otto, George, and Rebecca (Mrs. George Philan). Otto Stumpp is associated with his father, while the other son, George, is engaged in the same line of business in Barclay Street, New York City.
