      Funeral Services Held Sunday for Fred Klaessy

      Fred Klaessy, 45, died at a Rochester, Minn, hospital on Wednesday evening of last week following a long illness. He had been in poor health for the past three years and his condition became critical recently and he was being cared for at the home of his sister, Mrs. Henry Bloom. He was taken to Rochester on July 7.

      Mr. Klaessy was a life long resident of this community. He was engaged in farming as long as his health permitted. He was a quiet, unassuming young man and a friend of all he came in contact.

      On February 28, 1918 he married to Leona Catherine Holm who preceded him in death. To this union were born one son, Eugene H., and one daughter, Eunice L.
