Word was received by the Rev. John M. Ansorge last week that his brother-in-law, Dr. R. Neitzel of Springfield, Illinois, passed away Tuesday, May 22, 1951, and was buried there Friday.

Dr. Neitzel was the husband of Reverend Ansorge's sister, Anna, who acted as his housekeeper when he first came to Manning in 1905-06.

He had been a member of the faculty at Concordia Seminary at Springfield 52 years.
