Funeral Card of ELMER J. SCHAFER, SR. |
Elmer Schafer, son of Jacob and Mary (Brack) Schafer, was born April 12, 1912 in Rush County, Kansas. He passed away on August 3, 1969 at his home in Russell, Kansas at the age of 57 years, 3 months and 21 days. Elmer grew to manhood in the Milberger area and received his education in the schools around Milberger. On June 4, 1939 he was united in marriage with Esther Nuss at the Church in Milberger and this union was blessed with three sons, Geary, Elmer Jr., and Robert and three daughters, Shirley, Ruth, and Roberta. The family made their home on a farm west of Milberger where Elmer engaged in all the activities of the typical farmer. The family moved to Russell in February of 1955 and Elmer left the farm, but continued to have great interest in the farming activities and helped several people during the harvest season each year. He worked a short period of time in the oil field and then began work at Vincent Motor Company where he worked there until his health made it necessary for him to retire about two years ago. |
