He will be assisted by the Rev. Hubert Ketelle, pastor of the Huron Presbyterian church.
Scores of friends from Kimball and the surrounding territory where Mr. Lumbard was well known are expected to be here for the funeral. It was while he lived at the Brule county city that Mr. Lumbard became acquainted with the Rev. Mr. spence, then pastor at Kimball.
All four children are here for the services. Donald, who served in the U.S. Marines, Alta Mae, a senior at Huron college, and Paul live at the family home, 675 Beach avenue southeast and Erma another daughter, is here from Chicago. The widow is the only other survivor.

Born at Iowa City, Iowa, July 9, 1875, Mr. Lumbard came to South Dakota with his parents when they settled on a farm 11 miles south of Kimball in 1883. He was educated in the public schools of Brule county.
At the age of 22 he entered the banking business, serving his apprenticeship under A. C. Whitbeck, then president of the Whitbeck National bank. He later went into partnership with Mr. Whitbeck and subsequently became president of the institution, the name of which was changed to Lumbard State Bank.
Extending his banking activities, Mr. lumbard also became president of banks at Pukwana and Kadoka.
During the many years that he lived at Kimball, Mr. Lumbard was prominent in civic activities and in affairs of the Presbyterian church. It was in 1917 that, because of his keen interest and support of the institution, he was elected to the board of trustees of Huron College.
After holding various city offices at Kimall, Mr. Lumbard was elected to the house of representatives from Brule county and he served at the the 1917, 1921 and 1923 sessions of the state legislature.
Mr. Lumbard moved from Kimball with his family about four years ago when he became associated with the Advance Rumley company as a special collector. The family lived at Sioux Falls for a time before coming to Huron so that Alta Mae could attend Huron College.
His service with the Advance Rumley company carried Mr. Lumbard to various parts of the country. After working in the Sioux Falls territory he was transferred to New York state and later he was assigned to the North Dakota territory with headquarters at Fargo.
Mr. Lumbard, who had not been home for about seven months, was on his way to huron to spend Thanksgiving with his family when his car was stalled about 10 miles south of Fargo and he was overcome in the storm before he could reach shelter.
