In the fall, Mr. Feger had broken his right leg, right shoulder and collar bone, all of the ribs on his left side and punctured a lung. After the first week, he was believed to be recovering but immediate cause of death was attributed to formation of a blood clot.

During World War II, Mr. Feger worked on the Alaskan highway. Mr. Feger had done carpentry work to some extent during all of his lifetime, and after retirement and especially during the past year and a half had been employed in this field.
