Lou was 33 years of age and had done considerable work here, but had also done a lot of wire work through the state and was counted one of the best in his line. He leaves a father and mother, three brothers and four sisters, all of whom were present to attend the funeral, which was a very sad one. The funeral was held at the home of his parents on Monday, Rev. N. J. Myers speaking words of comfort to the sorrowing family and friends, and the remains were laid to rest in River Ridge cemetery.
