"Henry Simon Nefzger, 88 years, died Sunday morning, Oct. 15, at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. James A. McCarron, with whom he had made his home since the death of his wife, June 12, 1946.

Mr. Nefzger had been in failing health for some time, but his death came unexpectedly Sunday morning about 8:30.

Mr. Nefzger was born May 6, 1862, near Albany, east of Fayette. His parents were Simon and Christina KUNZIE Nefzger. He lived his entire life on the farm east of Fayette where he had been born, until about seven years ago when he and his wife retired and moved to Fayette.

He was married, August 17, 1888, in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. They had four children, Essie, Mrs. John Doland, Elmer, and Mrs. Maude McCarron, all of Fayette, and Floyd of Forrest Park, Illinois, all of whom survive. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, two sisters, Mary and Emily, and two brothers, August and Christian.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, 17, in the Belles Funeral Home with the Rev. Wm. ___ officiating. Burial was in the family lot in the Lima cemetery."
