Stegge of Barnsville, Minn.; Mrs. Walter Spence of Rolfe, Iowa; Miss Cecelia Wolfe of Fort Dodge, Iowa; Mrs. John Alberts, Mrs. H. C. Goodyear and Mrs. Agnes Doyle of this place.

The funeral services were held at nine o'clock Saturday morning from Sacred Heart church. The esteem in which he was held was shown by the many friends who attended the services.

Those from a distance who attended the funeral were, E. F. Wolfe of Malta, Mont.; Mr. and Mrs. Jim Henneberry, Chas. O'Malley of Olivia, Minn; Mr. Morris Monne of Omaha, Nebr.; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hartnett of Ft. Dodge, Iowa, and Mr. O. L. McClain of Bryant, South Dakota.
