Former State Rep. Clarence J. Wilger, 66, a native of Neillsville, died
unexpectedly Saturday, March 20, at his rural Elkhorn home. Services were held

Mr. Wilger was elected to the office of Walworth County Rep. to the Assembly in

1972. He was named chairman of the conservation committee in 1970. Prior to

Surviving, in addition to his wife, are two daughters, Mrs. Thomas Coblentz of
Rockford, Il., and Mrs. James Gaskell of Madison and eight grandchildren. He is
also survived by a sister, Mrs. Alyce Gitchell of Milwaukee, and by a brother,
