SERVICES FOR M. SCHNEIDLER HELD AT GLENWOOD, 19TH
Funeral services were held here Thursday for Maurice Schneidler, 52 year-old Glenwood farmer, who was killed at the Kaiser Vancouver yards early on Monday morning, April 19, graveyard shift. Promoted to a rigger, Schneidler was said to be with only one other workmen the only two experienced men working on his crew that night. Newly promoted from fitter to rigger, Maurice was most successful at his work in the shipyards and appeared years younger in his adjunct to the new employment. Other employees were absolved from blame in the accident by a company statement published saying the signal order for moving of the steel piece had been given by Schneidler, who not yet clear, was struck at the base of the skull. Death was instantaneous.
The Rev. B.J. Fike, of Vancouver, came to officiate at the services held in the First Presbyterian church, which pulpit he recently filled here. Other workmen coming from Portland, fellow employees of Kaiser who have gone from this valley, served as pallbearers. They were: Alvier Kuhnhausen, W.A. Martzall, Coke Jenkins, and a Mr. Quigley, Ben Hansen and Osmar Kuhnhausen were other bearers. Maurice was born in Chicago, Feb. 10, 1891 and came to Glenwood with his mother and sister at the age of six years. He had made his home here for 46 years.
