George Breed Dies After An Operation
Residents of the village of Embarrass were greatly shocked last Thursday to learn of the death of George Breed, one of the successful young business men of that village. George was taken sick on Wednesday afternoon and on Thursday morning was taken to St.

George Breed was born in the town of Matteson, on May 3, 1899, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Breed, Sr [1]. He attended the Wolf River school and from there went to Embarrass to higher grades. After finishing the grades at Embarrass he remained home for several years, helping with the farm work. Later he went to Appleton were he picked up knowledge of the automotive repair business, and in October 1921, he and his brother Fred purchased the garage at Embarrass which they have since successfully operated. Theirs was the garage on the corner, as you turn to go to Clintonville.
On October 1921, the subject of this article was married to Miss Helen Dehring. On December 16, 1921, he became confirmed in the Lutheran faith and since that time has been a faithful member of that church, holding membership in Embarrass.
There are two daughters, La Verne and Dorothy, who with their mother mourn the untimely taking of a kind and loving husband and father. There are also parents of the diseased and the following brothers and sisters: Dwight, of Clintonville; Katherine, Mrs. Arthur Schardt, of Antigo; Red, of Embarrass; Ethel, Mrs. Allen Breed of Iron Mountain, Michigan; Caroline, Mrs. Irving LaBau, of Appleton; Adelaide, Northport; Bessie, Mrs. Elmer Lemke, of Clintonville; Edward, on the home farm in the town of Matteson; and Arthur of Milwaukee.
Mr. Breed was a man of sunny disposition, fun-loving and congenial and will be missed from the social life of the village where he and his estimable wife have lived since their marriage more than ten years ago.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon at one o'clock from the church, Rev. List officiating.
The pallbearers were Walter Gehrt, Arthur Koeller, Louis Faundry, Arthur Krubsack, Grover Gehrt and Charles Bernhagen. The funeral was the largest ever held in the Lutheran church in Embarrass, many coming from a distance to join with the home people in paying their respects to the character and congeniality of the deceased. The many pieces of beautiful flowers bore mute testimony of the regard with which Mr. Breed was held in the home community. Internment took place in Graceland cemetery in Clintonville.
