at LaSalle, Monroe County, Michigan. Died January 13, at the home of his
father, at 518 Cherry Street, Rockfod, Illinois.

Des Moines Casket Co., holding the position of president of this large
institution for several years, until two years ago, when ill health forced
him to retire. Since that time Mr. Antes has spent the summers at his
summer home at Found Lake and his winters at his home in Rockford.

Brief funeral services were held at his father's home in Rockford, Tuesday
afternoon, the remains being brought to Evansville Wednesday, where funeral
services were held at the home of his brother, R. M. Antes, Rev. Hanaman of
the M. E. church officiating, interment being in Maple Hill cemetery.

Mr. Antes leaves to mourn his loss, besides his wife, one son, Herbert P.,
an attorney at Duluth, Minn., an aged father, in his ninety-sixth year, one
sister, Miss Elizabeth Antes, a brother, Joseph B. Antes, all of Rockford,
and another brother, R. M. Antes, of this city.

The deceased was prominent in Masonic and Shriner circles in the state and
