Funeral services for Frank Lang, 60, were held from Sacred Heart Catholic church at Stetsonville this morning. The Rev. Father Wilfred Fries officiated at the funeral mass at 9:00 a.m. Interment was in Memorial cemetery here.

Mr. Lang died about 11 p.m. Sunday at his home in the town of Little Black, succumbing to a heart condition he had suffered several years. His illness had been serious since last spring, and he was hospitalized five weeks beginning in October last fall.

Pallbearers were Louis Boxrucker, Frank Decker, Reuben Schmidt, Raymond Meyer, Ed Sauter, James Beck of Stevens Point, Kenneth Gilles of Medford, and Raymond Fritsche of Wausau. Fuchsgruber Funeral Service had charge of arrangements, and the deceased lay in state in the local funeral parlor, where a rosary service was held Wednesday night at 8:00.

Frank Joseph Lang was born Dec. 17, 1899, on the farm in the town of Little Black where he died. As a young man he worked as a mechanic in Chicago, and after his second marriage, with Nora Winchell on July 3, 1939, the couple moved to the home farm which they operated since. His first wife, Gertrude Tamburino, preceded him in death, as did a sister, Mrs. Herman Fritsche.
