The funeral services were held Wednesday morning at nine o'clock at St. Mary's church Alton. Solmon requiem high mass was offered by Very Rev. F. J. Brune, assisted by Revs. Gerlemann of Granville and Rolfes of Oyens. Father Bruce preached a most impressive and couslling sermon. The funeral procession was one of the largest in this region, the members of St. Joseph's society and the K. of C. (of which the deceased was a mem-ber) attended in a body. Many out of town rela-tives and friends were present. Adam Pick was born Feb. 23, 1867 at Hilfeskir-chen, Nassau, Germany. He came to this country in the spring of 1870 with his parents and his older brother and sister. They settled at New Vienna, Dubuque County, Iowa, where he received his educa-tion.
