Carl (Chas.) Aebig passed away on Tuesday noon after a lingering ailment of some years, which became rather severe during the last six weeks. He had made this community his home for twenty years and on February 25, Mr. and Mrs. Aebig quietly observed their 62nd wedding anniversary.
Although funeral arrangements were not completed at this writing, tentative plans are to hold services on Friday at Zion Lutheran Church with Rev Benedict Schwarz officiating and the funderal under the direction of the Zimmer Funeral Home.

He was united in marriage to Miss Louise Wunnenberg February 25, 1879; in the year 1892 the Aebig family moved to Plymouth, Nebraska where Mr. Aebig was engaged in farming and gave his personal attention to contracting and building. In June 1920 they moved to Chappell where he continued his trade until old age and sickness brought this activity to a close.
Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Aebig, four of whom died in infancy. Of the remaining six, three sons, Jake, Henry and Murvin are still living in Canada, and John at Chappell, Mrs. Marion Black at Grand Island, and Mrs. Cora Theobald of Geneva.
