Eifert, were attended by many relatives and friends from in and about Freeman, as well as from Burke, Roscoe, Hosmer, Alexandria, and Roscoe. Mr. F.J. Wagner, organist of the church, presided at the organ, and the church choir sang a funeral anthem. The beauty of flowers was in evidence, and numerous "Mindekraenze" memorializing the personality of the departed in the work of the church, were given by friends and relatives. Six young men, John Jundt, Linton Ellwein, Edgar Walz, Jacob Neu, Alvin Walz, and Roland Walz, grandsons on a group of thirty-nine grandchildren of John Wlaz Sr., served as pall-bearers at the burial service on Saturday, at St. Paul's Lutheran Church and the cemetery, south-west of Freeman.
