Muellers Offer
Services 10 Aid
War Dead Return

To war-bereaved families in
the Kennewick area, word came
today from B. A. Mueller, of the
Mueller Funeral Home that they
will be given help in the repa-
triation of World War II Vete-
rams who lost their lives in ov.
erseas service. .~'s o..
Naturally, this matter is very
close to all of u.s." Mueller said
! "After full consideration of all
points in these services, the
Mueller Funeral Home has an
nounced their decision to donate
their entire services and facili-
ties in honor of those who gave
their all for U.S." r.
Final disposition of remains of
World War II deceased being re-
turned to the United States
comes under one of the follow
ing three types of funeral and
burial services: Burial in pri-
vate cemetery; Burial in q Ma
tional Cemetery; Burial in a Ma
tional Cecetery following an in
terim funeral service at a church,
home, or funeral chapel.
Where next of kin through
decision expressed in disposition
QUESTIONABLE has elected burial
in private cemetery, no ex-
pense is borne by next of kin
until remains have been deliver
ed by the government to next of
kin or their consignee at final
destination. Up to that point, the
government furnishes, among
other items, the steel casket, the
shipping case, usually used as
a burial vault, transportation
from overseas to final destina-
ton, and headstone.
Funeral directors are chosen
by next Of kin and financial
transactions pertaining to the
funeral and burial proceed be-
tween the next of kin and their
chosen funeral director, the same
as In any other type of funeral.
The government has no part In
selection of the funeral direc-
tor, the place or extent Of the
services or any other arrange
mentS.
An amount not to exceed SIS
If allowed by the government to-
ward actual interment expenses
when final burial of the remains
Is In q private cemetery. The mil
itary escort accompanying re-
mains to the final destination
provides next Of kin five copies
of the form, Request for REIN
bursement Of Interment Expens-
es. Next Of kin certifies on those
forms the total sum they have
paid in connection with the in
torment of the remains. The re.
endorsement check is mailed to
next of kin, who is to use money
received to pay in full or in part
the bill incurred with the funer-
al director and the cemetery.
No reimbursement allowance is
authorized toward interment ex-
penses when interment is in a
National or Post Cemetery. Re-
endorsement by the government
is made only to the person who
paid from his personal funds the
expenses of or incident to in
torment in a private cemetery.
In most cases this is the next Of
kin.

The Sunday School, which later
became the present Pilgrim Lutf-
eran Church, went back nearly a
year earlier for it's beginnings. In
1914 Mr.. Boehmke was called to
Washington to open a mission in
the Westmoreland section.
He found parents interested in
sending their children to a Sunday
School, but none was available.
Making a personal canvas, Mr..
Boehmke finally found Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry E. Houston willing to open
their basement recreation room at
5022 Baltimore avenue, in Green
Acres, for such purpose.
On March II, 1945, seventeen chill
drendren and a few of their parents
held the first Sunday School ses-
sion. Mr.. Houston, Mrs. Catherine
Krahnke, Mr.. Boehmke and his wife
served as the teachers Six weeks
later Mr.. Houston was drafted, the
family moved, and the Sunday
School was without a home. 1t was
at this point that the episode with
the Sandoz took place.
The first church service was held
at the Sandoz home on April %,
1945 with eight persons worshipping.
Services were held here to June 1916.
