Death came unexpectedly as he was delivering mail in the south part of town and was due to a heart attack. He received his schooling in Geneva, graduating from Geneva high school in 1913. He was married to Clara M. Sampont, August 10, 1917. To this union were born four children. He spent most of his life farming, entering the postal service in 1940 as a substitute carrier, becoming a regular carrier in 1943. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Earl and his son Charles. Surviving are his wife Clara; three daughters, Frances, Mrs. E. J. Christoff of Omaha; Lillian, Mrs. Willard Kuns of Oxnard, Cal.; Mary, Mrs. Herbert Dondlinger of Geneva; seven grandchildren, David, Jeffrey and Elizabeth Jane Kuns and Paula, Wanda, Debra and Alan Lee Dondlinger; four nieces three nephews, numerous relatives and a host of friends. Funeral services were held at 2 o’clock Friday, September 9, at the Hrubesky-Farmer mortuary in Geneva. Rev. Paul Ulenberg officiated. Interment was in the Geneva cemetery. Pallbearers were Ervin Weber, Melvin Ellison, Frank Kamler, Dorsey Dudley, C. E. Rock and Henry Reinsch. Ralph Reemts sang two songs, “Lead Kindly Light” and “In the Garden.” He was accompanied by Mrs. Willard Foster. Lyle was an efficient and accommodating postal employee. He was unusually well like by patrons on his city delivery route. He was acquainted with about every family in the city, and all were his friends. The following poem, clipped from The Signal at some time, was found in Lyle’s billfold after his death: BEYOND THE SUNSET “Should you go first, and I remain To walk the road alone, I’ll live in memory’s garden, dear, With the happy days we’ve known. In spring, I’ll wait for roses red, In summer, lilacs blue’ In autumn when the brown leaves fall I’ll catch a breath for you. Should you go first, and I remain, For battles to be fought, Each thing you have touched along the way Will be a hallowed spot. I’ll hear your voice; I’ll see your smile. Though blindly I may grope, The memory of your loving hand Will buoy me on with hope. Should you go first and I remain To finish with the scroll, No dark shadows shall creep in to Make this life seem drool. We’ve known so much of happiness, We’ve had our cup of joy: The memory is one gift of god, That death cannot destroy. Should you go first and I remain, One thing I’d have you know Walk slowly down the path of death, For soon I’ll follow you. I want to know each step you take, That I may walk the same. For some day down that lowly road, You’ll hear me call your name.” The Nebraska Signal 15 Sept. 1955 page 9.
