WESTGATE (Special)— Philip
Ziegler, age 85 years 8 months and
16 days, pioneer resident of Fayette
County for more than eighty
years died at the home of his
daughter Mrs. Harvey Schrodemier
at Westgate early Sunday
morning, after being bedridden
for nearly three years as a result
of a stroke of apoplexy. He came
to Iowa from Houston, Minn, in
a covered wagon with his parents
in 1865, in the day when so-called
"buffalo wallows" could still be
identified in this section of Iowa,
and when much of the territory
was virgin prairie in the southwest
part of Fayette County.
Survivors are his children, Mrs.
Sophie Schrodemier, Westgate;
Walter, Oelwein; Mrs. Marie
Klinkhammer, Chelsea; William
and Alvin of Westgate and nine
grandchildren. His wife and one
son preceded him in death
Funeral services will be held
Wednesday afternoon, at the Harvey
Schrodemier home at 1:30
o'clock and at St. Peter's Lutheran
church at Westgate at 2 o'clock.
