Fred desired to have his body donated to the University of Iowa Anatomy program.

A private graveside service will be held at a later date with Inurnment at the Edgewood Cemetery. Arrangements were handled by Tuecke-Allyn Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Guttenberg.

Fred was born at home on March 4, 1912, in Dorchester, Ill., the son of Otto and Pearl Hauschild.
