Tillmann at the Presbyterian Church building conducted the funeral services Friday. The body was taken by relatives and friends to the Manning Cemetery and laid to rest.

C. John Moeller was known as a most excellent husband, father and neighbor.

While on the farm he worked hard, and leaves a 400 acre farm as a monument of his thrift and energy.

While in Manning he lived a quiet life devoting most of his time to the care of an invalid wife to whom he was deeply devoted. It can truly be said he had no enemies and all who knew him were his friends.

The large gathering at the church services as conducted by Rev. Tillmann shows the esteem held for him by his neighbors and friends. He will be missed by his devoted wife, his family, his relatives, and his friends.
