Funeral Mass will be conducted at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at St. Agnes Catholic Church by the pastor, the Rev. Fr. Leonard Rathgeb, and burial will be in St. Agnes Cemetery.

He and Margaret G. Murphy were married Aug. 3, 1935, and lived in Hillsboro all their married life. They became parents of five daughters, all of whom survive: Mrs. Louis (Patsy) Lynch, Mrs. Walter (Myrna) Neely, Mrs. Gerald (Linda) Young and Mrs. Bob (Jane) Blackburn, all of Hillsboro, and Mrs. James (Sally) Cleaver of Springfield.
