    H. Wunnenberg died suddenly.
    Funeral Tuesday afternoon at the Latty Church.
    Henry Wunnenberg died at his home near Sperry Saturday morning, March 10, 1934. He did not get up when breakfast was ready and on going to his room it was found he had passed away.
    Mr. Wunnenberg started to Mediapolis in his car Friday morning and when some distance from his home his car skidded and turned over, damaging the car considerably, but he did not appear to be much injured, but the shock was probably what hastened his death.
    The remains were brought here to the Fry Funeral Parlors. The funeral will be held Tuesday at 1:30 o’clock at the Latty church.
