A long period of poor health brought death last Thursday to Louis Henry Walke, native of the Ceres community, at Farmersburg where he had lived since 1922.

Funeral services for Mr. Walke were held Sunday from the Walke home in Farmersburg and St. John’s Lutheran church there with Rev. R. H. Steege in charge. Burial was in the Farmersburg and Wagner cemetery.

The son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walke, Mr. Walke was born on August 13, 1880, on a farm near Ceres, and during his younger years worked on a farm. On November 5, 1908, he married Selma Schorg and the first years of their married life the couple lived in Guttenberg.

They moved to Farmersburg in 1922 and for 12 years they managed a restaurant there. For the past 20 years Mr. Walke had been employed by the National Yeast company of St. Olaf.

Mr. Walke is survived by Mrs. Walke and three sons, Lester of Sioux City; Belmont who is a chief gunner’s mate in the Navy at Oxnard, California, and Verland of Omaha, Nebraska. Also surviving are two grandchildren, Maxine and Dianne Walke, a brother, John, of Dubuque, and two sisters, Mrs. N. White of Guttenberg and Mrs. Annie Hawking [Hawkins] of Elmonti, California.

He was preceded in death by an infant son and a daughter, Wilma, who died at the age of nine months, a sister, Mrs. Katie Saeugling, and a brother, Herman, as well as by a brother and sister in infancy.
