Citizens of this community were saddened to hear last week-end of the sudden death of Louis Ben Ahlers, a citizen of this community for over twenty-five years. Mr. Ahlers suffered a heart attack while relieving employees of the Eagle Lake Furniture Company for lunch shortly before noon last Friday, August 17th. He was rushed to Laughlin Hospital where he passed away at 1:30 .m.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, August 19th at 4:00 p.m. from the Mill-Bauer Funeral Home with the Rev. Charles Walton, Pastor of Colly Memorial Methodist Church officiating. A favorite hymn, "In The Garden" was sung by Miss Mary Carolyn Nash, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Clara Mae Nash.
Interment was in the Masonic Cemetery with members of the Eagle Lake Chapter A. F. & A. M. officiating at the burial rites.
Louis Ben Ahlers was born November 9, 1889 in Victoria, Texas to the late Lou and Ella Ahlers. He resided in the Weimar community for over thirty years before coming to Eagle Lake. Here he was employed with the Frank Stephens Company hardware department, with the Eagle Lake Lumber Company and more recently with the Eagle Lake Furniture Company.
His untiring devotion to his employers and his multitude of friends in the community brought him high esteem in the community. His sudden passing was felt in the hearts of many both young and old.
He was a member of the Eagle Lake Masonic Lodge, the Order of Eastern Star, Chapter 483, and of the American Legion, having served his country in World War I.
Survivors include a cousin, Grady Shaver, of Weimar; and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Ruby Ahlers of Donna, Texas.
