Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon in Buckley for Emil Krumwiede, 54, well-known farmer of that community, who died at his home there last Wednesday, June 19, as a result of heart trouble, with which he had suffered for nine days.

The following week, on June 27, the following obituary was run.

BUCKLEY --Mr. Emil Krumwiede, apparently somewhat improved from a serious condition of illness, suddenly collapsed Wednesday morning at 1:30 o'clock. That was a keen blow to his many friends and relatives. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at St. John's church. A very large congregation of grief-stricken relatives and friends met to pay the last respects. The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. H.C. Krumwiede. He attained an age of 53 years. Mr. Krumwiede leaves to mourn his loss his bereaved widow, one son, one daughter, besides many other relatives. Emil Krumwiede was one of the quiet in the land, but a man with a big heart and a tender, conscientious soul. Always friendly, always accommodating his friends were numberless. Everybody liked Emil Krumwiede. He will truly be missed in the family and fraternal circles. A very long concourse of automobiles followed the remains to the last resting place.
