FUNERAL OF FREDERICK A. SCHIFFERDECKER
----------------------------------------------------
Was One of the Largest Ever Held in This City
-----------------------------------------
THE LOSS MOURNED BY ALL
-----------------------------------------
Hundreds Followed Body of Their Dead
Friend to Its Last Resting Place
-----------------------------------------
To-day the city is in mourning, not shown by buntings of black but by hearts filled with grief as the final ob???quies of a man beloved by all. All that was mortal of Frederick
A. Schifferdecker, jr., was the afternoon laid away in the final resting place in mother earth.
The funeral, the largest ever held in the northern part of the city, was attended by many
employes of the state and county officials, all heads of city departments, numerous civic and faternal organizations of which the deceased was a member and hundreds others
in all walks of life, who had known him both as a friend and acquaintance.
When Mr. Schifferdecker, a few months ago, was stricken with illness some thought
that so soon would they be called upon o tender his bereaved family their condolences and sympathy; Rugged in health, of physique that was the embodiment of many vigor
be succumbed to the inevitable and to-day a vast number of our citizens mourn his loss. He was a man in every sense of the word, a friend to the friendless, who never let his left know what right did.
The funeral was held this afternoon from the home of his brother, former Sheriff Charles Schifferdecker, on South Pearl Street. After the numerous friends had viewed the body, which was rested in a solid square oak casket with extension handles and plate, all surrounded by a myriad of floral offerings, the cortege
marched to the Evangelical Protestant church, at the corner of Alexander and Clinton streets. The edifice was able to hold but a small part of the mourners and with the heat intense many stood outside while the Rev. Henry Retler pastor of the church, preached in German a sermon over the dead. He spoke of work of
he life work of the deceased and eulogized him as a friend once known never to be forgotten.
The bearers at the house and church were selected as follows: From the Unconditional Club George Addington and J. Sheldon Frost: B. P. O. E., George H. Guardineer and John Wagner Knights of Pythias, Otto C. Peters and Peter Gise; Odd Fellows, Matthias
Sebast and John M. Foll jr.
Three carriages were required to carry the floral tributes. There was an elaborate piece from the Elks representing in clock form the hours of 11 o'clock when according
to the order all men must arise an remember the departed brothers. This piece was composed of live flowers surmounted by an elk's head and a white dove. From the O. S. B's there was a club monogram: from the Hinckel Brewing Company a "Heart
and Anchor:" from Mount Vernon Lodge the usual "Compass and square:" South End club a "Pillow" John C. Heidrich "Mounted Star:" Schifferdecker Association"Standing Star:" employes of Schifferdecker Bros. and from his nearest relatives
to whom he was dearer than all. "A half Circle" surmounted by three white doves and bearing the inscription in roses "Our Brother." These were but a few of the floral pieces.
After the service at the church the body was taken in charge by the Masonic fraternity represented by Mount Vernon Lodge of which Mr. Schifferdecker wasa member. Luihee C Warner was acting master in the absence of Will L. Lloyd master. The bearers were: George Godsmark, William R. Hotalling, Louis Bautter
