Funeral Rites Held For Holland Businessman

A great crowd was in attendance Wednesday afternoon, at the Christian Reformed Church at Holland, to pay their last respects to E. A. Lingelbach, for a generation, a businessman at Holland, a businessman who put in most of his life serving his people kindly and efficiently, and in so doing made a host of friends who will miss him as they go about their daily duties.

The Rev. P. H. Eldersveld, pastor of the Christian Reformed Church at Holland had charge of the services, interment being made in the cemetery at Holland. Casket bearers were John Venenga, Jerry Peters, John A. Meyer, B. P. Heronimus, Henry Dirks, Jr., and Chris Sonnenberg.

Mr. E. A. Lingelbach was born in Lincoln Township, Grundy County, Iowa, on January 10, 1884, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Lingelbach. He received the sacrament of Holy Baptism in the St. Paul's Lutheran Church, and at the age of two years was affiliated, with his family, with the Lincoln Center Christian Reformed church in Lincoln Township, where he was reared and trained in the Christian faith, in the home and in the church. Here he spent his boyhood, and received his education.

At the age of 17 he came to Holland, and had made his home there ever since. He established and maintained himself in business in Holland for 32 years.

He was united in the bonds of holy matrimony with Miss Kate Frerichs on January 10, 1907, by the Rev. O. Saalborn. God blessed this marriage richly with abundant joys, and though the first child was dead at birth, another daughter, Alma June, was given by the Lord.

The family affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church at Holland, and the deceased made public profession of his faith in the Savior Jesus Christ in May 1933. Since that time he has been constant and faithful in his Christian belief, and always observant of his duties to the church.

Almighty God was pleased, after a few months of sickness, to remove him from this life on February 4, 1939, at the age of 55 years, and 25 days. Left behind to mourn their loss, though it be his gain, are the sorrowing widow and mother, Mrs. Kate Lingelbach and the grieving daughter, Alma June, as well as four sisters: Mrs. Elisabeth Dirks, of Holland; Mrs. John Dieken, of Grundy Center; Mrs. Emma Schaa, of Grundy Center; Mrs. Jake Wilts, of Holland, and a host of other relatives and friends.
