Funeral rites were held at the N. C. Lowe Mortuary Chapel, Saturday afternoon for Christian Zurcher, 70, who died Thursday while sleeping in a chair at the home of his son Clarence, near here.

Elder George Simons officiated. Special music were the sons, "Shall We Meet at the River?" and "In the Sweet By and By," sung by Mrs. E. E. Regester and Mrs. Mason. Burial was in the family plot in the Masonic Cemetery.

Christian Zurcher was born in Switzerland December 24, 1864. He emigrated with the family to Oregon while still a young boy. The family settled in Washington County where he attended school. On October 26, 1889 he married Rosa Truehart, also a native of Switzerland, who came to America when a young woman.

For a time the family continued to live in Washington County before coming to Linn County, 22 years ago. They first settle on a farm at Griggs and about 14 years ago moved into Lebanon.

Mrs. Zurcher died December 31, 1924 since which time Christian Zurcher has made his home with his children at Lebanon.
