The Knier family was sitting up waiting for Ronald to arrive Friday night when there was a knock at the door at 11 p.m. and the Rev. Alfred Loehr, pastor of St. Isidore Catholic Church at Osman, informed the family of the fatality.
Ronald was born Dec. 16, 1938, at the farm home, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Knier, and attended the St. Isidore parochial grade school at Osman. In June, 1958, he was graduated from St. Lawrence Minor Seminary at Mt. Calvary, Wis., and in September had gone to Catholic University in Washington, D.C. to continue his studies for the priesthood.
Survivors include his parents on the home farm; two sisters, Mrs. Frederick Herr of Osman and Mrs. Arno Hickmann of Rt. 1, Kiel; and a brother, (private).
