Private funeral services are pending for Frank Carl Henry Feldt, father of Mrs. Pat Hennlich, who died Monday morning at the age of 75 at the Memorial Medical Center at Ashland, after an illness of two years.

Mr. Feldt, in the construction business most of his life, began carpentering with his father and brother, and in the early years of his trade, helped construct a school on Madeline Island, the home of Nebraskan millionaire Henry Woods, at LaPointe, and a summer home at Hayward for R.J.
