NORMAN R. FEILE   cemetery #84

SERGEANT NORMAN R. FEILE IS KILLED IN ACTION
The entire community was saddened on Thursday morning of last week to learn 
that another of its fine young men, Sergeant Norman R. Feile, had been killed 
in action in Germany on April 9th.  The announcement of his death came in a 
message from the war department to his mother, Mrs. Henry Feile.
Sergeant Feile, who was in his 22nd year, was born at Manitowoc on July 1, 
1923.  He came to Kewaunee with his parents on June 1, 1925 and had been a 
resident of this community continuously from that time until he entered the 
military service on March 27, 1943.  He graduated from the Kewaunee High 
School with the Class of 1941 with a very fine scholastic and athletic record 
and later entered the employ of Frank Hamachek Machine Co., until called into 
the service of his country.  
He received his early military training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and 
later was stationed at Fort Collins, Colorado, and at Camp San Luis Obispo, 
California, before going overseas.
His father died on March 3, 1942 and his is survived by his mother, a sister, 
Mrs. Athinel (Elsie) Raquet of Kiel, and a brother, Major Clarence Feile, 
with the air forces of the army in Italy.  
The death of Sergeant Feile again impressed upon the community the tragedy 
of war and it brought sadness to the hearts of everyone. His friendliness and 
his modest and unassuming manner won for him the admiration and affection of 
a host of friends.  He exemplified the ideals of the ambitions of sturdy 
American manhood and his companions of school days and his associates of later 
years who knew him as the fine, upstanding young man that he was are deeply 
grieved in his untimely death.  Memorial services for Sgt. Feile will be held 
next Sunday afternoon at three o’clock at the Community Congregational Church.

JAMES FERGUSON   cemetery #44

DEATH COMES TO J.W. FERGUSON WITH NO WARNING
Returns Home from Day's Labors and Is Stricken.
James W. Ferguson, father of S.K. Ferguson of the Wisconsin Pea Canners Co. 
and a resident here with his son for the past eight months, died suddenly 
at the Ferguson home on North Sixth Street last night. Mr. Ferguson was 62 
years of age.
Mr. Ferguson, although he had been ailing for some time, was not thought to 
be seriously ill and had been at his post at the plant of the Aluminum Goods 
Co., where he had been employed, yesterday. He returned home from the office 
at the usual hour and though he appeared weary did not complain of any serious 
illness and his death, which occurred while the family were in the home during 
the evening, came as a great shock. Physicians who were summoned when Mr. 
Ferguson collapsed, were unable to revive him and death ensued in a short time.
Mr. Ferguson was a native of New York state but since manhood had made his 
home at Chicago up until a few months ago when he and Mrs. Ferguson came here 
to be with their son. During his residence, Mr. Ferguson has made many friends 
to whom his death will bring sorrow.
Mr. Ferguson is survived by his wife and one son.
The funeral will probably be held from the home on North Sixth street Friday 
afternoon.
