Career

Peter John Stadelman, son of Mary Rath and Joseph Stadelman, was born in Nassau County in 1871 . His father immigrated to the United States from Austria-Hungary in 1869 , where he subsequently married his mother, who was born in New York. He grew up on a farm near The Dalles ( Oregon ) on the Columbia River , which once belonged to a Catholic mission. During this time he attended public schools in The Dalles. He then worked as a newspaper delivery man for The Oregonian and then as an assistant at the local post office.

In 1893 he began working in the ice cream and fruit business, which led him to found his own company, the Stadelman Fruit and Ice Company, in 1898 . He married Mary Kelly Hicks in 1903. The couple had two sons: Wilbur and George Peter. Stadelman and his brother bought the family farm from their father in 1907. In 1920 he was one of the founders of Citizen's National Bank in The Dalles and later became the bank's president.

From 1908 to 1914 he was a member of The Dalles City Council. He became mayor of The Dalles in 1918 - a post he held until 1928. On February 6, 1934, Secretary of State Hal E. Hoss died before the end of his term. The Governor of Oregon Julius Meier then appointed Stadelman on February 9, 1934 for the remaining term of the Hoss as the new Secretary of State of Oregon. Stadelman held the post until January 7, 1935, when Earl Snell took the post. His term in office was overshadowed by the global economic crisis. In 1936 he was elected to the Oregon Senate for the 16th District ( Wasco County and Hood River Counties ) . Stadelman was re-elected twice in a row, 1940 and 1944. He served until the end of the 1947 session.

At one point his company had the largest cold store in eastern Oregon. His wife died on July 10, 1924. In 1930 he sold his cold storage to his sons and later moved to Yakima ( Washington ).
