HERBERT PAHRE DIES

St. Charles (Special)--Herbert Pahre passed away quite suddenly at the Methodist hospital in Des Moines Friday evening, Aug. 13th. His illness began about a year ago when he underwent a major operation from which he never fully recovered. Some months ago he had a recurrence of the old trouble and was taken to the hospital at Iowa City for treatment and after a few weeks came home, but had been confined to his bed most of the time since. Thursday he became much worse and was taken to a hospital in Des Moines and passed away twenty-four hours later.

Mr. Pahre was 53 years old and since his early boyhood had lived his entire life in this community.

Surviving members of his family are his wife, four sons and one daughter, with one son preceeding him in death. Those remaining are Wendell of Seattle, Wash., Warren now in the Merchant Marine on the west coast and could not be reached as his ship had gone out only a few days ago, Robert and Gene both at home, and Mrs. Helen Jones of Marshalltown; two grandsons, Bobby Jones and Richard Pahre; and one brother, Dell Pahre of St. Charles.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Millen in the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon and burial was made in the St. Charles cemetery.
