Peter W. Moeller, 78, brother of Martin & Charles Moeller of Sioux Center, and his wife, also 78, the former Mary Brouwers of Alton, were fatally injured October 13, when their car crashed five miles east of Doon.
Mrs. Moeller, a sister of Mrs. Martin Moeller of Sioux Center, was driving when the car apparently left the county blacktop road, traveled through a ditch and hit an embankment at a crossroad. It landed upright on the intersecting gravel road.
Mrs. Moeller died instantly and Mr. Moeller was dead on arrival at a Canton, SD hospital.
Funeral services were held at 2 p.m., Sunday at the Congregational church in Doon, with the Rev.Mervin Nelson officiating. Burial was made in the Doon Township cemetery under the direction of the Cooperative Funeral Home of Sioux Center.
The couple is survived by a granddaughter, Mrs. Nicholas Kamminga of Sergeant Bluff, and two great grandchildren. Mr. Moeller is survived by three brothers, Martin and Charles of Sioux Center and Arthur of Spirit Lake, and three sisters, Ms. Mary Schlumbohm of Hawarden, Mrs. Addie Klein and Mrs. Rosie Winterfeld, both of Sioux Falls.
Mrs. Moeller is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Martin Moeller of Sioux Center and Mrs. Lowell Holingsworth of La Mesa, CA.
Mr. & Mrs. Moeller farmed for many years on Highway 75 some nine miles south of Rock Rapids. About 10 years ago they moved to Doon and that had since been their home.
Both were prominent in farm organization work and Mrs. Moeller was active in women's groups.
Both were members of the Doon Congregational church where Mr. Moeller had served several years on the church board.
