Since his youth the deceased was intensely interested in music. He was an accomplished cornetist and had been a member of several instrumental combinations before coming to Two Rivers. He helped organize the St. Luke male choir more than 25 years ago. He was also a charter member and one of the organizers of the Meistersinger guild in 1930 and was active in the Knights of Columbus and the Holy Name society of St. Luke church.
Survivors besides Mrs. Kuenzel include one son, Elphege, who was associated with his father in the grocery business for the last nine years; four daughters, Mrs. Henry Wernecke, Mrs. Bernard Rhode, Mrs. Raymond Gilbert and Mrs. Arnold Se___, all of Manitowoc; and 13 grandchildren.
