Late Friday afternoon Daniel Poppe, 57, was found dead in his home in the Town of Longwood (Clark Co., Wis.). Death apparently was sudden and attributed to a heart condition.

Funeral services were conducted from the Griebenow Funeral Parlors at two o’clock Monday afternoon, Nov. 27th with Dr. K. O. Crosby officiating. Military rites were conducted at the grave at the Riverside Cemetery. Pallbearers were Ralph Weidman, Johnny Erickmoen, Lynn Hodnett, Bill Smith, Hugo Wolters and William Veurink. Those in charge of flowers were Mrs. Carl Sillampa, Mrs. Johnny Erickmoen, Mrs. Tony Auberg, Mrs. Hugo Wolters, Mrs. Walter Emmerson and Nelda Lang.
