Chris Strubel, 81, lifelong resident of Black Hawk county, died at 9:30 p.m., Wednesday, at the home of his son, Mark L. Strubel, 1000 West Fourth street. Death was caused by complications due to a broken hip suffered by Mr. Strubel in December of last year.

Mr. Strubel had made his home with his son since the death of his wife in 1940.

He was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic church, the Knights of Columbus, and the Holy Name Society.

Surviving are two sons, Paul F., Milford, Conn., and Mark, 1009 West Fourth; one brother, William, Route 4, Waterloo, and three grandchildren.

Mr. Strubel was preceded in death by his wife, one son, one daughter, three brothers and three sisters.
