Funeral services were held this morning for one of Burlington's young business men, Urban Schemmer, whose death of heart trouble Monday evening came as a shock to the community.

Mr. Schemmer was 34 years of age, having been born in this city on November 25, 1898, the son of Charles Schemmer and Mary Rossmiller. He had spent most of his life in this community, and was married last fall to Miss Myrta Custer whose home is near Hot Springs, Arkansas.
