OBITUARY: Lawrence Schoger, 1892-1921, Mitchell County, Iowa




                          Lawrence Schoger

The whole community was saddened and shocked Thursday to learn that
Lawrence Schoger, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Schoger, had passed away
at 9:30 the evening before.

Lawrence was taken with severe case of appendicitis a few days before
and was taken to the Savre hospital. However, before the operation could
be performed the appendix broke, and peritonitis set in.

He was a young man only 29 years of age and had more than made a success
of his vocation -- farming. He served eighteen months during the recent
war and saw active service in the front lines. Upon his return home he
purchased the farm in Rock Creek known as the Amundson place and he has
made it one of this county's best farms. His father died a couple of
years ago, and since that time, his mother has kept house for him -- the
older brother working the home place.

Funeral services were held from the Rock Creek church on Saturday, at 2:30
o'clock, the Rev. O.C. Myhre conducting the services.
