One son, Henry "Mike," was killed in a car accident eight years ago.

Last Rites Held For William Wegner
"In the midst of life we are in death." This was most forcibly brought to the minds of the people of Manning and vicinity Sunday when it became known that William Wegner had died suddenly from an attack of apoplexy. The entire community was saddened by his death.

Mr. Wegner, who was one of our most popular stock feeders and highly respected farmers in this vicinity, had been around as usual Saturday morning but complained about being indisposed, in the afternoon, which was followed by a severe heart attack which proved fatal. A physician was called to his aid but it was beyond the power of human hands to do anything for him. He never regained consciousness and, passed away Sunday, October 31, 1937, at the age of 66 years, 3 months, and 15 days.

In the passing of Mr. Wegner the family has lost a faithful provider, husband and father; the community has lost a respectful citizen, a true neighbor and kind friend. He was well-liked, honored, and trusted by his fellow men. In his death the entire community suffers a distinct loss.

William Wegner, oldest son of Mr. Henry Wegner and his wife Magaretha, nee Hilbert, was born in Clinton County, Iowa, July 16, 1871. He spent four years of his childhood in Clinton County, after which he came with his parents to Crawford County where they settled on a farm southwest of Aspinwall, where Mr. Wegner has spent practically his entire life.

In the year 1899, on the 30th day of June he was united in holy wedlock to Miss Emma Nagel, to which union seven children were born, of whom one boy, Henry, died in 1929. He is survived, besides the grief-stricken widow, by the following children: Elsie, Mrs. Gustav Schrum; Mrs. William Brandt of Vail; Mrs. Milda Peters; Louis and Erwin of Manning, and Miss Helen at home.

He also leaves five sisters and three brothers: Mrs. Fred Ehlers of Botna; Mrs. William Sanders, Mrs. Emil Ehlers and Mrs. Hugo Kuhl of Manning; Mrs. Charles Ehlers of Sunol, Nebraska; George of Manning, Frank of Zurich, Montana, and Emil of Aspinwall, twelve grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends.

The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. at the Ohde Funeral Home with Rev. George E. Steele officiating. Burial was made in the Manning Cemetery and as pall bearers acted Jake Carstens, Fred Boyens, Charles Nissen, Hannes Jurgensen, Ben Joens, and Louie Thompson.

A large concourse of friends were present to pay their last respect to their beloved departed friend who was abruptly called from them to his last resting place.

The Monitor joins the host of friends in extending their deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.
