DR. PFUNDER LAID TO REST

Dr. Frederick H. Pfunder, a former Greenwood, Clark County druggist, died in the hospital at Rochester, Minn., Thursday, July 16, 1931, where he had been confined for some time.

Last year he submitted to amputation of one leg in a vain attempt to regain his health.

Deceased was born Jan. 5, 1863, at Two Rivers, Wis. In his early youth he moved to Chicago, where he attended Pharmacal schools, working his way through. He was employed as a pharmacist in Chicago for a long time and then came to Greenwood, where he owned and operated a drug store.

Later he moved to Superior, where he was located for about ten years, and then moved to Minneapolis where he worked for the Fort Snelling Hospital.

While clerking in various drug stores, Dr. Pfunder kept working on a formula for relief of stomach disorders. When he first evolved his tablets, he distributed them among friends in a small way, but soon an increasing number of persons called to ask for the tablets and he was forced to give up his position at the hospital and devote his time to his own business.

Last year Dr. Pfunder sold an interest in his formula to several prominent Minneapolis business men for which he received over a million dollars.

Deceased is survived by his wife, one son, Dr. Malcolm Pfunder and five grandchildren. Two daughters preceded him in death.

The body was brought to Greenwood for burial Saturday afternoon and was laid to rest in the Greenwood Cemetery. A large number of relatives and friends from Minneapolis were here for the funeral and many Greenwood friends also were in attendance. Rev. D.S. Houselholder officiated.
