A former Neillsville resident, George W. Greeler, 72, of Marshfield, died May 12 at St. Joseph’s Hospital there. Funeral services were to be held Wednesday at 2 p.m. from Immanuel Lutheran Church Marshfield, with the Rev. Eldore Messerschmidt officiating. Burial was to be in the Hillside Cemetery. The Rux Funeral Home at Spencer was in charge of arrangements.
