Funeral services were to be held Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. from the Georgas Funeral Home for a longtime Town of Levis farmer, Louis Matousek, 89, of Rt. 3, Neillsville, who died September 2. The Rev. Ralph Walker was to officiate, and burial was to follow in the Dells Dam Cemetery in the Town of Levis.
