ANSWERS SUMMONS

Dyersville Commercial -September 28, 1942

Former Pioneer Resident of This City
Died at Reliance, S. Dakota.

Word was received her Tuesday by Mr. Joseph Schlinder of the death of his father Mr. George Schlinder, whose death occurred at the home of his son, Frank Schlinder, of Reliance S. Dakota, Tuesday morning. Death was due to complications attributed to old age. He was 93 years of age.

Mr. Schlinder was born on the farm north of Dyersville, now owned by Mr. Joseph Langell, on Sept. 21, 1849. He received his education in the rural schools and grew to young manhood here. In January 1870, he was united in marriage to Miss Katharine Steger, in St. Francis Church, the late Rev. Father Anton Kortenkamp officiating. After their marriage they established their home on the farm and resided there continuously. Mrs. Schlinder preceded him in death July 31, 1900. He continued his residence on the farm, his son Joe taking over the work, and he lived here until six years ago, when he went to Reliance, S. Dakota, and made his home with his son Frank.

Three children were born to them, Frank, of Reliance, S. Dakota, Joe of this city, and Mrs. Mary Pfab of Dubuque.

The remains arrived here Thursday morning accompanied by his son, and were taken to the Steger Funeral Home from where the funeral will take place Friday morning at 9 o’clock to St. Francis Church. Requiem high mass will be sung for the repose of his soul, after which his remains will be laid to rest beside those of his wife in St. Francis Cemetery. The pallbearers will be his six grandsons, Messrs. Frank, Joe, Henry, Alois, John and William Pfab.
