Besides his wife and daughter, Katherine, he is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Katherine Schmale of North Bend; two brothers, William and Carl and one sister, Mrs. Anna Strate, all of North Bend.

The congregation say “Who Knows When Death May Overtake Me” and “The Lord’s My Shepherd, I’ll Not Want”; and the choir, directed by George Bluma, sang “God Be With You Till We Meet Again”.

Pallbearers were Laurence Gnuse, Herbert Stork, Martin C. Stork, Henry Meier, Walter Meier and Fred Schmale.
