Word has been received here of the death August 22 of Emil L. Schendel, a former resident of Neillsville, in Milwaukee. He had been in ill health for about (unreadable) months.

Before entering a nursing home, he had made his home with a daughter, Florence F. Schneider, in Wauwatosa. His wife died in 1963.

Mr. Schendel attained the age of 100 years, 10 months and six days. Funeral services were held August 27 from St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church at Ontario. Interment was made in the church cemetery.

Survivors include two daughters, Irene (Roman) Pscheidt of Manhattan, Mt., and Mrs. Schneider in Wauwatosa, and three sons, Leo of Tomah, Edwin of Merrill and Herbert of Madison. Twelve grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild also survive.
