(Steinberg) Wegner on Saturday May 20, 1922 on a farm near Scribner, Dodge County Nebraska. My research found no information on Walter's childhood or elementary schooling. Walter graduated with the class of 1939 from Scribner High. Walter served in the US Navy during 1945 to 1946 with the American occupation forces at Luzon and the Philippines following World War II. Since that time Walter had farmed and was a trucker. Walter was fatally injured when a Scribner DX filling station exploded on Saturday April 23, 1960, he was a customer who was reading a newspaper at the time of the 8:55p explosion. The station owner had just stepped outside to pick up an inner tube. The explosion was caused by raw gasoline vapor accumulating in the station's basement. Sadly Walter passed at the age of 37 years, 11 months, 3 days which does not include his last day, he lived a total of 13,853 days. Walter's private funeral services were held at the Spear Funeral Home followed by a graveside service on Monday April 25, 1960 at 3p with the Rev. H. William Arms of the Congregational Church officiating. Walter was interred in the Scribner Cemetery. Walter's information was provided from researching many resources and my memory. This biography was created as an honor to Walter by Loren R. I believe all lives matter, even the lives of those who have passed. Many details are still missing from his life, if you have any more details I will be happy to edit the additional information into this biography.
