Requiem High Mass was said at St. Ludger Catholic Church, Thursday morning and the Rosary at the Hengstler Chapel, Thursday evening by the Very Reverend Joseph B. Falke.

The body was taken to Hospers, Iowa, the family home, where services were conducted at St.Anthony's Church, Saturday, March 4. Interment was in St. Anthony's Cemetery.
