August 30, 1901 --- March 4, 1965

Floyd W. Berhow, well-known agent of the Lutheran Brotherhood fraternal insurance society, died while sleeping early Thursday, March 4, 1965. Although the death was due to a heart condition, he had suffered no illness except for some mild chest pains the previous day. Since he had enjoyed excellent health for years, the death was very unexpected. The funeral service was held Monday afternoon, March 8, at St. John's Lutheran church where Mr. Berhow was a member. The Rev. Boral R. Biorn officiated and hymns were sung by St. John's choir of which Mr. Berhow had been a member for 18 years Frederick A. Schmidt is choir director. Interment was in Oaklawn cemetery. Serving as pallbearers were C. Eddy Erickson, R. J. Falck, Stanley T. Johnson, L. E. Norstad, Arthur M. Peterson and A. H. Wienke. The arrangements were made by Anderson's Funeral Home.
