LINNERT, FREDRICK H. *FRED*—Fred H. Linnert, oldest son of Arnold and Mary Linnert, was born August 23, 1875, at Warrenton, Mo. He passed away at 6 p. m. February 22, 1942, at his home in Geneva, Neb., after a short illness at the age of 66 years, 5 months and 29 days.

He was married to Lulu M. Slifer, August 27, 1903, at Longmont, Col. This union was blessed with a son, Leslie, and a daughter, Mrs. Ruth Clark.

In early life Mr. Linnert was baptized in the German Lutheran church. Later he was identified with the United Brethren church in Strang, Neb. He lived the greater part of his life in Fillmore county. His occupation was chiefly farming. However, in later years he did work at a number of different jobs, janitor at the courthouse four years; employed at the girls' training school two years' and work for the National Refining Co. over ten years, then retired.

He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, son Leslie and wife of Ventura, Cal., his daughter, Mrs. Ruth Clark and husband, Jack, and two grandchildren, Lawrence and Lois Clark of Geneva; three sisters, Anna Kaiser of Ruleton, Kas., Lydia Adams of Milwaukee, Wis., and Lena Miles of Geneva; two brothers, John and Ed of Geneva. One grandson, Jackie Eugene Clark, and one granddaughter, Myrna Mae Linnert, preceded him in death.

Mr. Linnert spent much of his time helping those in need and will be greatly missed by his many friends.

The funeral was held at the Geneva United Brethren church at 2 p. m. Thursday, February 26, Rev. Glenn A. Cain officiating. A quartet, Ed Nelson, Mrs. E. C. Churchill, Mrs. Harry Hosack and Edgar Miller, furnished appropriate music. Mrs. Tom Brower was accompanist. Interment was in the Geneva cemetery.
