Elmer Gretzmaker, 49, a life-long resident of this vicinity and half-

of his truck near Dayton at 7 p.m. Monday, apparently a victim of apoplexy.
He was enroute to his farm home northwest of Evansville after delivering a

Mr. Gretzmaker was born near Brooklyn April 23, 1885 and was married to
Miss Lucy Freiday of Dayton on July 26, 1913. Besides his wife, he is
survived by a daughter, Mrs. Raymond Lee, at home; his half-sister, Mrs.
Lyman Farrell, this city; one grandchild; and his father and step-mother,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gretzmaker who reside on a farm in Union township north
of the city.

Funeral services were held at 1:15 p.m. yesterday in the home and at 2 p.m.
in a Belleville church with burial in the Belleville cemetery.
