Funeral of Mrs. Wintermantel Largely Attended

The American Reformed church, from which the funeral of Mrs. Jacob Wintermantel was held last week Thursday, was filled to capacity with neighbors and friends who loved the kindly old lady.
Rev. Arthur Schultz of Merrill preached the funeral sermon. Several appropriate numbers were sung by the choir and an opportunity to view the remains was given at the close of the service. The floral tributes were most beautiful. The pall bearers were Messrs. Reimann, Mayer, Sullivan, Wagener, Anderson and Bell.
