Funeral Services for Dr. Derge to Be Held Saturday

 Funeral services for Dr. Herman F. Derge, 78, of 120 Marston Ave., who 
died Monday afternoon at his home will be held Saturday at 1 p.m. from the 
Christ Church Cathedral, the Very Rev. Gordon E. Brant officiating. The 
interment will be in Forest Hill Cemetery.

 Dr. Derge was born in Eau Claire, received his early education in the 
local schools, graduating from high school at 15 years of age, and from 
the University at Madison four years later, with a B.A. Degree, having been 
elected to Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholarship society. His family was 
among the early settlers of this part of the country.

 Dr. Derge went to Baltimore to take his training at Johns Hopkins and was 
placed directly on the surgical staff of the hospital. He received his 
medical degree in 1908. He came back to Eau Claire and was associated in 
practice with Dr. Lyman until 1921 when he helped found the Eau Claire 
Clinic. He was a member of the staffs of Sacred Heart and Luther Hospitals 
for years during 53 years of practice here. During the war he was consultant 
surgeon at Camp Custer, in charge of the operating rooms and handling of 
major surgical work.

 He was a member of Christ Church Cathedral, and was on the Vestry of the 
Church for 31 years, the last 17 of which he was senior warden. He was a 
member of the Masonic Bodies.

 Dr. Derge is survived by his wife, Margaret, two daughters, Mrs. Ned G. 
Fleming, Marshfield, and Mrs. Leonard J. Seyberth, Eau Claire, four grand-
children and six great-grandchildren.

 Friends may call Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday forenoon at

Church Cathedral.
