Funeral services for Virgil "Butch" Weitzel, former Weiser resident who 
drowned in the McKay reservoir near Pendleton, were held Monday at Weiser.  He 
was the husband of the former Dona Fae Shepard of Payette.

he was employed by the Standard Oil company.  Also surviving are two young 
sons, Darryl and Gregory, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Weitzel of Weiser, 
and two brothers.
 
He was a graduate of Ontario high school and a veteran of the U. S. Marine 
Corps.
 
The Rev. Bert Iddins officiated at the funeral services.  Interment was in the 
Riverside cemetery in Payette.
