Funeral services for Clarence H. "Solly" Schemmer, 59, were held at 9 00. a.m. this morning (Thursday) in St. Mary's Catholic church in Rock Valley with the Rev Father R.W. Reinhart officiating.

Mr Schemmer, who for a long time operated a construction and plumbing firm here, was killed in Omaha Monday when he was run over by a concrete mixer truck while inspecting the grade of some street paving in a housing project at Omaha. He was employed by an engineering firm in that city.

The driver of the truck said he did not see Mr Schemmer.

Four grandchildren also survive.

Research notes for Clarence

The 1915 Census Record card (number 223) states name as Clarence Richter. However, in searching for Clarence Schemmer, I was unable to find anything. Next, if you note the card numbers on the rest of the family are in order. (Albert is 221, Kate is 222, and Elvira through Viola are 224 through 228.) Given the mother's maiden name of Richter, I can only imagine that is IS the record for Clarence Schemmer and a simple mistake was made while taking the record.
