Funeral services for Ernest George Meier, of the Town of Stiles, who died suddenly on Friday, January 27th following a paralytic stroke, were conducted by the Rev. Arlyn Adams at St. Jacob’s Lutheran church Monday afternoon. Interments took place in Woodlawn cemetery, with Messer, John Meyer, John Ritter, John Geitz, Julius Ritter, Henry and Charles Plier, carrying the casket to its last resting place. Had he lived until January 31st, Mr. Meier would have been 58 years of age. He was born in Greiswaldt, Germany in 1881 and came to this community in 1895.

Survivors are his widow, two sisters, Mrs. Leo Marquardt of this city and Mrs. Anna Smith of Chicago, a brother, William Meier of Stiles, and a stepbrother, Jack Wachtel of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
