Funeral Held for Fred Metzner
Funeral services were held Saturday for Fred W. Metzner, 56, who died the previous Thursday in Ritzville General hospital.
The Rev. Edwin Zimbelman officiated at the services. Burial was in Ritzville Memorial cemetery.
Metzner was born in Illinois but came to Adams county with his family at the age of seven. He had lived in this area for 49 years.
Metzner served three months in the army during the Mexican campaign in 1916.
During recent years he had been doing odd jobs around the town. His last steady employment is believed to have been caretaker
at the city dump. He worked there for three months during 1949.
Survivors include four sisters, Mrs. Anna Etheredge, Pullman; Mrs. Marie Buscher, Newport; Mrs. Grace Fuller, Spokane; and Mrs.
Caroline Nissen, Ione; and one brother, Herbert, of San Francisco.
