Blunck, William D. (20 APR 1899 – 14? AUG 1970)

Funeral services for William D. Blunck, 71, route 1, Withee (Clark Co., Wis.) were held at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon, August 18, 1970, from the Hoeper and Kraut Funeral Home, Owen. Rev. H.W. Luetkehoelter, pastor of Nazareth Lutheran Church, Withee, was in charge of the service, with burial being made at Riverside Cemetery.

Jerome Laski, Sabin Scherf, Art Smasal, Lester Himes, Lucius Bowen, and Al Boxrucker served as pallbearers.

His death was sudden and a shock and surprise to members of his family and friends. He had eaten his noon meal, as he always did, at the nearby home of his brother, Walter Blunck and family, and left for home. When he didn't show up for dinner the following day a check was made at his home and his body was found in the driveway. His death was attributed to a heart attack on the 14th of August 1970.

Born April 20, 1899 in the Town of Longwood (Clark Co.), he received his education there and never married. He spent his lifetime as a farmer.

Mourning his death with friends and relatives are two brothers, John of Withee and Walter of rural Withee.
