Services were held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, December 23 at St. Bridget Catholic Church, Postville, for Paul L. Sonnkalb who died Sunday, December 20, 1970 at Postville Community Hospital.

Paul L. Sonnkalb, son of Elizbeth C. Leui and Charles F. Sonnkalb, was born December 13, 1895 in Grand Meadow Township and grew to manhood in the area.

On June 27, 1915 he was united in marriage to Thelma Jemison, at St. Bridget Catholic Church, Postville.

With the exception of a year at Fayette and three years during World War II which were spent in defense mobilization at Vancouver, Washington, Mr. Sonnkalb was a lifelong Postville resident.

An electrician by trade he spent a number of years with a power company when power was first coming into town in the 1920's. He pursued his career thereafter in private business.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a grandson, Charles David, Jr., who was killed while serving as a pilot in southeast Asia; two sisters, Nellie Gallagher and Elizabeth Buren.

He is survived by his wife, Thelma, a daughter, Marian, of Dayton, Ohio, and a son, Charles, Colorado Springs, Colorado. There are two grandsons.
