Hinton Progress June 21, 1928 LAST RITES FOR EARLY SETTLER Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the Melbourne church for William T. Koenig, a pioneer resident of Floyd Valley. Mr. Koenig died June 11, 1928, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Chas. Rosburg, after a brief illness caused by pneumonia. The funeral was very largely attended by old friends and neighbors by whom he was held in high esteem. At the services Rev. G. J. Roths, of Alburnette, was assisted by Captain S. V. Broas and A.D. Broady of Sioux City. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. The pall bearers were lifelong friends, J. J. Schindel, Phillip Emmert, Henry Schindel, C. C. Hauff, J. F. Berner, and R. J. Spies. Music for the occasion was furnished by a quartet composed of Ralph Brehm, Mrs. Lloyd Schneider, Mrs. Oscar Schindel, and Allan Schindel. Wilbur Laux sang " Face to Face" and A. D. Broady sang "When the Mists Have Rolled Away" in a very impressive manner. The committal services were in charge of the Odd Fellows and were impressive and beautiful. A good man has passed on but his memory still lives in the hearts of his loved ones and the influence that he shed for good is immeasurable. His remains were buried beside those of his wife and a son who preceded him in death.
