Services held for Schorzman at Odessa

Word has been received of the death of Fred C. Schorzman, wheat rancher in the Lauer area of Adams county for many years.

Funeral services were held from the Christ Lutheran church in Odessa Wednesday, Oct. 5, with interment at the Odessa cemetery.

Schorzman was stricken on Sept. 17 and was rushed to the Adams County Veterans' hospital and the following day to Deaconess hospital in Spokane where he underwent emergency surgery. Later he was transferred to the University of Washington hospital in Seattle where he died Oct. 1.

Schorzman came to the Odessa area at the age of six with his parents and lived on a ranch north of Odessa until his parents moved into town when he was 13 years old. He attended the Odessa schools and was active in athletics.

On Sept. 26, 1916, he married Anna Lauer and they moved to a ranch north of Odessa where their two older children, Edra and Ray, were born. This ranch now is being farmed by his son, Ray.

In 1925 they moved to the Lauer homestead at Lauer south of Odessa in Adams county where their son, Lee, was born. They lived on the ranch until July of this year and moved into a home in Odessa.

Schorzman was a charter member of the Odessa Grange. He also was active in the Christ Lutheran church and participated in many civic programs.

Surviving are his wife, Anna, at the home; one daughter, Edra Haugen, and two sons, Ray and Lee, all of Odessa; and seven grandchildren. Also surviving are eight brothers and sisters, Katie Bertsch of Miller, S. Dak., Adam of California, Gus of Marlin and Anna Schiewe, Dina Koth, Hattie Schlimmer, Jake and John, all of Odessa.
