The funeral of John F. King Heinrichs, 74 years old, former mayor and of Jefferson City's best known citizens who died Sunday night following a long illness will be held at 9 o'clock this morning from St. Peter's Catholic Church. Burial will be made in St. Peter's Cemetery.

Mr. Heinrichs' death had been considered only a matter of a few hours for the past three weeks. In his passing the Capital City loses one of its pioneer business men and most loyal supporters. While quaint in his manner he was regarded as one of the best friends any man could have.

The veteran business man had realized his condition for some time and assisted in making many of the funeral arrangements and selected some of his old friends as pallbearers. They are:

Honorary Pallbearers: John Brandt, Mark Handley, John Bruner, F.F. Luckett, Al Smith, Arthur McCarty, Louis Creel, Jos. Huegel, John Ruthven and C.A. Ware.

Active Pallbearers: Henry Feind, Ed Ruwart, Nick Speedy, Paul Hunt, Ernest Decker and Otto Dulle.

Mr. Heinrichs was born in Cologne, Germany, November 30, 1848, from which place he came to the United States, settling in Jefferson City with his parents when he was four years old, where he had since made his home. He received his early education in the public schools here, and finished his education at Wyman's University, St. Louis and St. John's Commercial College.

Upon his return to Jefferson City after completing his education, he became connected with his father in the furniture and undertaking business, the firm which he actively connected with until a few years ago when he retired, and his son, Charles, succeeded him.

Mr. Heinrichs, who always led a very active life, and who had a keen interest in public affairs, was twice elected mayor of Jefferson City, served as a member of the school board for twelve years, was a regent of Lincoln Institute for sometime, and also served in a number of other minor public offices. He was one of the most influential citizens of Jefferson City, noted for his charity and was an active Democrat.

He was a member of the Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus, and the Elks.

Mr. Heinrichs was married in 1873 to Miss Mildred Blair, daughter of the late Judge Milo Blair, of Boonville. To this union were born six children, three of whom are living. They are Mrs. John B. Bush, Washington, Mo., Charles Heinrichs of this city, and Claude Heinrichs of St. Louis. A number of years following the death of the first Mrs. Heinrichs, Mr. Heinrichs married Mrs. John G. Schott, who died sometime ago. Besides the three children above named, the only other close relatives who survive him is Henry Heinrichs, a nephew.
