ORPHANED SON OF EX-OFFICER DIES IN NORTH
Funeral services for Robert Squires, the 14 year old son of Marshal Squires,
former traffic officer who was killed while pursuing a motorist here in 1922,
will be held from the Wattawa chapel tomorrow morning to be followed by
interment at Evergreen. The former Manitowoc boy died at Eagle River yesterday
afternoon after having been in failing health for some time but the exact cause
of his death is not known to friends here.
Since the death of the boy's father, he and a brother Donald, and a sister,
Beatrice, have been making their home with an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs Henry
Wierch at Eagle River. The lad's mother died about a year before the father was
killed and the three children were left without immediate kin.
The body will arrive in Manitowoc on the late afternoon train and will be taken
immediately to the chapel from where the services will be held in the morning.
Definite time for the funeral will not be known until arrival of the boy's
relatives late this afternoon.
