William Ritzman, pastor of the German Bap- tist church, also a lifelong friend of the deceased, assisted by Rev. George w. Nicholson, under whose pastOrate MT. Lefeld had been for a number of years at the First Baptist church. Both pastors paid high tribute to the sterling qualities of the deceased and his life of usefulness and great love for the church and his family, who have indeed lost a, most loving and devoted father. ''The Beautiful Home on High" and 'Abide With Me-, two of his favorite hymns, were beautifully rendered by Miss Spencer of the First Baptist church choir. The funeral was largely attended and the floral pieces were many and beau- riful. The pallbearers were w. Cook, H. Skinner, Conrad Boffert, Peter Lassen, Herman Pieter and Leroy Ladd.
