They are: Mrs. Helen Welsh, North Fond du Lac; Mrs. Alma Hall, Herman Zuege and Bernard Zuege of Milwaukee, William Zuege and Ernest Zuege of Stevens Point; Mrs. Anna Habhegger, Mrs. Margaret Gardner and Frank Zuege of Loyal, and Mrs. Leonard Martin of Cudahy, besides 24 grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and one brother, Charles Behm.

Funeral services were held from the house at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 15th, and 2 p.m. from Trinity Lutheran Church here, with interment in the Lutheran Cemetery, the Rev. J. C. Langholz officiating.
