The funeral services were conducted at the Helfritz home and at the Lyle Lutheran church by Rev. O. M. Langehough.

A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And tho the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.

Those who were here from away to attend the funeral were: Mrs. Lester Ross of Lamont, Iowa and Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Schultz of Grafton, Iowa.
