HAROLD MAPLES
Harold Maples, 51, active Legionnaire, VFW and Eagle, died Tuesday morning at a local hospital. He had been ailing for some time but seriously ill only since Sunday.
Except for occasional work in Manitowoc and Milwaukee, Mr. Maples spent almost his entire life here. He was with the U.S. Engineering department out of Kewaunee for about ten years and since the start of the war worked at Smith's shipyard. Recently, in order to be outside, he had been working at Donald Palmer's orchard.
Mr. Maples was born here April 4, 1895, a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Maples. About 20 years ago he married the former Margaret Pfeil who died last Aug. 31. He was a World War I veteran, and held offices in the Legion and Eagles.
The body was taken from Stoneman's chapel to the First Methodist church at noon Thursday and services were conducted there by the Rev. George Warren at one o'clock. Rites at the grave were in charge of the Veterans of Foreign Wars with Bernard Paul as chaplain. Members of the Eagles were pallbearers.
Special music consisted of two vocal duets, "In the Garden" and "Sometime We'll Understand" by Mrs. Milron Anderson and Miss June Beekman. Mrs. Ernest Straubel was at the organ.
Surviving Mr. Maples are two sisters, Mrs. Aaron (Alice) Peterson and Mrs. Melvin (Della) Peterson of this city and three brothers, Reuben of Oconomowoc, Roy of Newaygo, Mich. and Marvey (sic-Harvey) of Manitowoc.
