The funeral services of Fred Hageman, Sr., 76, who died at his home in Festina, Iowa, Saturday, Nov. 20, following a two weeks illness due to complications were held Tuesday morning at St. Mary’s church with burial in the adjoining cemetery. Rev. A. J. Rubly officiated. The pall bearers were H. J. Schupanitz, Hugo Hageman, William Scholbrock, Albert Bushman, John Kipp, Clarence Rothmeyer and Joseph Kuennen, cross bearer.
The deceased was born on a farm between Calmar and Fort Atkinson April 8, 1861, the son of Fred and Angella Hageman.
On Sept. 18, 1883, he united in marriage with Catherine Wenthold. To this union were born nine children: Mrs. Dominick Bucheit, Festina, Fred, Felix and Ignatius Hageman of Calmar, Mrs. Matt Drilling Cresco, Mrs. Ben Schmitt and Andrew Hageman of Fort Atkinson and Aloysius Hageman and Mrs. Joseph Funke of Festina.
