OBIT:
In his younger days, William F. Feldman, 92, used to ride a bicycle to work. At one time while riding his bicycle, he was injured and was unconscious several days.
By a strange coincidence, his only son, Russell Feldman, was killed in 1942 while riding a bicycle. The son was helping his own sons deliver papers on Northwestern Avenue and was struck by a trolley car.
The elder Mr. Feldman died Wednesday night in a nursing home. Since 1954 he had been living at the Evangelistic Center Home of the Aged, 3518 Shelby. His home formerly was at 2034 Mansfield.
Born in Cincinnati, Mr. Feldman had lived in Indianapolis 68 years. At the age of about 18 in Cincinnati, he learned the trade of bricklaying which he followed most of his life.
In Indianapolis Mr. Feldman worked for various contractors. He had done brick work on St. Vincent's Hospital and on the Acme-Evans Milling Co. plant. Once, when he was working in the ovens of the Citizens Gas and Coke Utility, he was overcome. In his later years he worked at a machine shop.
Possessed of wiry strength, Mr. Feldman had been in unusually good health until recent years. For about 40 years Mr. Feldman was a member of the Church of God. At the time of his death he was a member of the Glendale Church. He taught a Sunday school class of young men. He was fond of young people and he and his wife often entertained them in their home. His wife, Anetta Feldman, died in 1943.
Working with flowers was Mr. Feldman's favorite diversion. He retired about 1939. During the Spanish-American War, Mr. Feldman served in Havana, Cuba.
Services will be at 1 p.m. tomorrow in Conkle Speedway Funeral Home with burial in Crown Hill Cemetery.
Survivors are three daughters, Mable Bells, Portland, Oregon; Elizabeth Williams, Columbus and Dorothy Maguire, Indianapolis, eight grandchildren, and 15 great grandchildren.
