And Joseph of Joliet, Ill., and a sister Mrs. H. Evrard, Oconto Falls. Two sons preceded him in death, Henry, seven years ago at the age of 25 and Clarence, who was killed in action in Sicily three years ago.

The body was taken to the Flatley funeral home. Rites were held Monday afternoon at the funeral home and also at the Methodist church. The Rev. R.L. Greene officiating. Burial was in Woodlawn cemetery.
