Gerold Pfeffer
Visit Here Ends In Tragedy for Pfeffers

A pleasant visit became a tragedy Saturday for the Ed Pfeffer family, visiting the John Richters, when they went to awaken Gerold, their three-year-old son. Put in bed for his afternoon nap, Gerold pulled the covers over his head in his slumbers and was suffocated. Brief funeral services for him were held at Corwith Catholic church at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. Burial in charge of the McMahon Funeral home was in the Corwith Catholic cemetery.

Gerold Pfeffer was born September 3, 1935. Besides his parents, three brothers survive. His mother was formerly Elizabeth Witte; his father is a brother of Dr. L. L. Pfeffer, local dentist. Mr. Pfeffer had come up from Des Moines Friday to join his family in their visit here and hunt pheasants.
