Wilford Schuler
Funeral services for Wilford Schuler, 23, who was fatally wounded while working in the field at the Henry Roll farm Friday afternoon, were held at the Evangelical church Monday, Rev. Earl Jarboe, pastor of the church of the Brethren officiating. He was assisted by Rev. H. M. Raecker. The body was found by Donald Boyenga when he went to take a lunch to Mr. Schuler about 3:30. The gun apparently was discharged when he got off the disc to shoot gophers. The charge struck his heart. The coroner ruled death accidental. Wilford Carston Schuler was born August 24, 1913, at Bellingsham, Washington. After the death of his mother he came to Iowa with his father and brothers. His father died six years later. He then made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Schuler, his aunt and uncle. He was a graduate of the Hansell high school in 1932, a star in athletic activities. He leaves to mourn his sudden passing, seven brothers, George, Alfred and Urvin of Hampton, Lee Roy of Cincinnati, Ohio, Rev. Sidney of Bristow, Orville of Chicago, Victor of Dumont.
