The death of Myron Reppe, 46, at the Veteran's Memorial Hospital in Waukon about ten-thirty Sunday evening from a bleeding ulcer came as a great shock to family and friends. With his wife and step-children he had came to Lansing to visit relatives over the Easter week end. For the past year or more all had been employed at St. Charles, Ill. and only Friday he had worked full time.
He was born January 3, 1921 at Lansing, a son of Louis Reppe and Elnora Rowan, one of several children. He attended the rural schools of the community and most of his entire life was spent assisting on the home farm. He was married to LaVonne Betsinger a few years ago and the past year or so has been employed in the Illinois city. Besides his wife and step-children, he is survived by his parents of Lansing, who were visiting a daughter in Mississippi at the time of his death; two sisters, Izella, Mrs. Keith Cranston, Leland, Miss.; Margaret, Mrs. Paul Miller, Dothan, Ala.; four brothers, Richard and Gerhard, Lansing and vicinity, Freeman of Davenport; Thomas, Winifred, Mont. All of the brothers and sisters will be here for the funeral services. Others who came include two nieces, Mrs. Ed Grewell of Iowa City and Mrs. Ruth Schmitz of Madison, Wis.
The funeral services will be held tomorrow, Thursday afternoon at two o'clock from Our Savior's Lutheran Church with the Rev. Ronald Brugger officiating and saying the final prayers at the graveside in Oakland Cemetery where interment will be in the family lot. Serving as gasket bearers will be long time friends; Cletus McKee, Ray Fink, Robert Koch, Lawrence Strong, Bernard Zeimet and Cyril Manning.
