The following is for her husband who is buried in Minnesota:
Frank L. Spiering, 57, building construction superintendent who
had charge of erection of several of the largest buildings in the
state during the past 25 years, died at his home at Two Rivers
Saturday evening.
Spiering supervised the construction of most of the larger buildings
at Two Rivers and Manitowoc in the past several years and also
supervised the building of the Schroeder Hotel in Milwaukee, the
Northland at Green Bay and the Wausau at Wausau. He was connected
with the Walter Oeflein Construction company of Milwaukee for 13
years, while in recent years he was connected with the Hamman
Construction company of Manitowoc.
Seven weeks ago Spiering broke his right leg in a fall while at work
on the addition to the White House Milk company plant here and was
confined to his home. He was recuperating from this injury when heart
disease set in about a week ago.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday morning, at 9 o'clock from the
Klein & Stangel, Inc., funeral home at Two Rivers and at 9:30 o'clock
from St. John's Lutheran church with the Rev. W.G. Haase officiating.
The body will then be taken to Winthrop, Minnesota, where there will
be short services from the home of Mr. Spiering's brother, William,
and interment will be in the Winthrop cemetery.
Mr. Spiering was born at Winthrop, Minn., Sept. 12, 1882. He attended
the schools there and remained in that city until he went to Milwaukee
several years after his graduation. Twenty-five years ago, shortly
before coming to Milwaukee Mr. Spiering married Miss Augusta Hedtke of
Gaylord, Minnesota. The couple remained in Milwaukee for some months
and then came to Two Rivers where they have lived since.
His first job at Two Rivers was the western portion of Plant 1 of the
Aluminum Goods company when he was connected with the Majestic
Construction company. Scores of other buildings in Two Rivers and
Manitowoc, including the Hotel Manitowoc, were built under his super-
vision. He supervised building of most of the AGM plants and also
supervised buildings of the new Plymouth city hall. His biggest jobs
were those for the Oeflein Construction company. He began working for
this firm in 1918 and continued with it until 1934. Since then he
worked for several other large firms and in the past few years had been
connected with the Hammon company of Manitowoc.
Survivors are the widow; two sons, Lyle, Two Rivers and Norman at home;
one daughter, Joyce, at home; two brothers, seven sisters and one
grandchild.
The body was taken to the Klein & Stangel, Inc., funeral home where it
may be viewed until the time of the funeral.
