Arnold Pfefferkorn To Be Given Military Funeral As Last Rites Are Held
A final desperate effort to save the life of Arnold Pfefferkorn, wounded overseas veteran of the World War, by the resorting to of an operation to halt the inroads being made upon his system by a perforating ulcer of the stomach and peritonitis yesterday proved fruitless and the soldier who lived through four major engagements of the war, died of complications at the Holy Family hospital in this city at 7 o'clock last evening.
Mr. Pfefferkorn, who was 35 years of age, was stricken ill on Saturday
after an operation the previous year had apparently eliminated his troubles. He was rushed to the hospital in this city from his home on Manitowoc Route 5 and an operation resorted to in an effort to save his life but he never rallied and died early in the evening.

He was a well-known county farmer and spent his entire life in the township of Manitowoc Rapids with the exception of several years while he was a member of the American Expeditionary Forces in France, Germany and other countries where he served as a member of the 59thInfantry, Fourth Division.
He was one of the last of the veterans to return and again took up his residence in the township in which he was born.
Mr. Pfefferkorn was born on March 27, 1894 and attended the schools of this district. On June 16, 1923, he married Miss Anna Roethel of Meeme who with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Pfefferkorn, Manitowoc Rapids; one daughter(private); two sons (private); three brothers, Elmer, Harvey and Lee and two sisters, Mrs. Delmar Hansen and Miss Mildred of this city survive.

Services will be held from the home on Manitowoc Route 5, Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock and from the Wesley M.E. church, Ninth and Hamilton streets here at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Rev.
