Frank J. Rieder, 55, died suddenly of a heart attack at his home Monday afternoon at about 4:30. Although Mr. Rieder had been in ill health for some time, his death was unexpected.

Casket bearers were Leo and George Peiper and Clarence and Francis Kueney.

On Sept 25, 1929 he was married to Rose McCormick at Van Horne. They farmed all their married life in Benton county, and in 1954 retired and moved into their present home in Blairstown.
Mr. Rieder was a member of St. John's church and The Holy Name Society.
Surviving are his wife; a son Russell of Newhall; two daughters, Mrs. Delores Clark of Cedar Rapids and Mrs. Dorothy Schulte of Norway; six grandchildren; two brothers, Bernard of Vinton, and Anthony of LeClaire, Minn.; and one sister, Mrs. Russell Marquis of Marshalltown.
