Mr. and Mrs. Ferneding moved to Carroll from Storm Lake four years ago. They resided in their home at 3228 North Court Street. Mr. Ferneding, son of Henry and Mary Ferneding, was born on a farm, near Templeton Dec. 31, 1883. He attended Sacred Heart School, Templeton. He was married to Margaret Becker May 31, 1911, at Gregory, S.D.
Surviving with his wife are one daughter, Mrs Art (Loretta) Reinhart, Carroll; three grandchildren; two brothers, John Ferneding, Templeton, and Frank, Manning; and one sister, Anna Ferneding, Templeton.
A son, Henry, died March 1, 1939.
The explosion and fire which resulted in Mr. Ferneding's fatal burns occurred when he turned on the sewer pumps in the pumphouse on the disposal plant grounds, City Engineer Leo Clark said. Sewage gas apparently had been trapped during the night in the building, which has a basement, the city engineer stated. The explosion occurred when the electric motor was turned on to pump sewage to the sewage digester. Mr. Ferneding had worked for the city about two years.
