David Schiffenhaus, husband of Mrs. Sarah Schiffenhaus, passed away at his home after a lingering illness on May 29 at 10:45 P.M. His condition had been serious for more than two years, following an operation performed upon his only child, Helen Beatrice, who cannot walk.

Besides his wife and child, he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. M. Rainer and Mrs. D. Rainer of New York, and two brothers, William and Harry of this city.
Funeral services were held at the Schiffenhaus home on Sunday, with Rabbi Charles I. Hoffman officiating. Interment took place at the Oreb Shalom Cemetery in Hillside.
