EMIL DAHLBERG, REGISTER-MAIL RELIGION EDITOR, SUCCUMBS
Funeral services for Emil Dahlberg, 68, religion editor of the Galesburg Register-Mail, will be Tuesday at 3:30 PM at First Lutheran Church. Burial will be in Hope Cemetery.
Mr. Dahlberg died Sunday at 12:55 AM in Galesburg Cottage Hospital shortly after he was stricken at home with a heart attack. He had been in apparent good health, and he and Mrs. Dahlberg had attended a church meeting earlier in the evening.
Mr. Dahlberg was born November 8, 1892, in Altona, and had lived in Galesburg all but the first two years of his life. He was graduated from Galesburg High School in 1911 and from Augustana College at Rock Island in 1915. He was a second lieutenant of infantry during World War I. After leaving the service in 1918 he joined the Republican Register news staff as a two-week "temporary employee," as he often recalled, but he remained with the newspaper since that time.
He lived here for many years with an aunt, Miss Mary Envall, until her death in 1954. His marriage to Miss Emma Troeger of Fort Wayne, IN took place April 30, 1955, at Fort Wayne. She survives with Mr. Dahlberg's two sisters, Miss Florence Dahlberg of Michigan City, IN, a teacher in the Monmouth public school system, and Miss Mildred Dahlberg, also of Michigan City. The Dahlberg home here is at 1192 Willard St.
Mr. Dahlberg was a member of First Lutheran Church. He also held membership in Ralph M Noble Post 285, American Legion, National Religious Newswriters Association, Rotary International, Musicians Club, Community Chorus and the Society for Advancement of Scandinavian Study. He had served as vice president of the Alumni Board of Directors of Augusta College, and he had been made an honorary member of Knox County Post 2257, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and of United Spanish War Veterans, serving as its historian. He also served as historian of the legion post and editor of the post publication, "Bits of Flack."
Friends may call this evening at Hinchliff and Pearson Funeral Home.
