  Men of west Virginia, Vol. II, pub. 1903, biography of Louis F. Stifel
 "... He was born in Wheeling in October 1851, and is a son of C. E. Stifel, who for many years was a well known citizen of this city.
 C. E. Stifel was born in Germany and there learned the trade of a tinner, working as a journeyman in different towns as far from home as Geneve, Switzerland. He removed to Wheeling, Virginia, now (Ohio County) West Virginia, in 1836, and upon arriving worked for Squire Duly. After marriage he entered into business for himself on Main street, near Ninth street, and manufactured tinware and house furnishings. He worked up a fine business and in 1870 took in his sons, W. C. and L. F., as partners, the firm name becoming C. E. Stifel & Sons, and as such is now conducted by his oldest son, W. C. Stifel. C. E. Stifel was known as the finest mechanic in his line, in using the hammer and in spinning copper and other metals into shape, work which is now done by machinery. He died in July, 1898, lacking but one month of being 84 years of age. In May, 1839, he was united in marriage with Anna Clara Becht, who is still living at the age of 80 years, having come from Germany in 1835."
