SERVICES MONDAY FOR CHARLES ANDERSON
Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the First Lutheran Church of Varna, for Charles E. Anderson, a life-long Varna resident, who passed away suddenly about 11 o'clock Thursday morning, September 6, 1956, following an apparent heart attack. He had been helping shell corn that morning on the Joe Rinaldo farm, owned by Lawrence Fairbanks in Hopewell township, when he was stricken without warning, and passed away before medical help could be summoned. Coroner Roy O. Brown was called, and after an inquiry, pronounced it coronary thrombosis. Mr. Anderson had suffered a few previous milder attacks in past years, but had not been under medical care for some time.
The Rev. Orville K. Bossee, Th.D., pastor of the church, officiated at Monday's services, which began with a brief preliminary service of Scripture and prayer at the Anderson home in Varna, and concluded with interment in the parish cemetery (First Lutheran Cemetery #1) north of the village, of which Mr. Anderson had been caretaker for something over 10 years past.
Pallbearers were Elmer Flesburg, Maynard Austin, Elmer and Herbert Walin, Raymond Carlson, and Louis Phillips. Ushers for the church service were Grant Flesburg and Wayne Lundgren.
The Boose Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
