Kueltz, Harry (27 June 1897 - 11 May 1970)

Harry Kueltz, 72, of Eau Claire and former chairman of the Town of Seif, died about 7:15 a.m. Monday of a heart attack while visiting friends in the Town of Seif.

Funeral services have been scheduled for 2 p.m. today (Thursday) from the Smith Funeral Chapel in Eau Claire.

Mr. Krueltz was stricken while in bed at the Fred Quast home on Rt. 3, Neillsville, where he had visited over the weekend. He was found by Mrs. Quast. Mr. Kueltz had suffered from a heart ailment since 1966, when a heart attack forced his resignation as chairman of Seif.

During his six years as chairman, Mr. Kueltz was active in town improvements, including roads, town dump area, and the marking or naming of township roads. The Town of Seif was the first in Clark County to name town roads.

Mr. Kueltz was born June 27, 1897, in Magnolia, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Kueltz.

He is survived by his wife, Mary E.; a daughter, Mrs. Charles Conkey; and two grandchildren, Steven M. and Richard C. Conkey.
