The funeral was held last Friday at a Napa funeral home with the Rev. L. E. Faasch of St. John’s Lutheran Church officiating. Inurnment followed in Tulocay Cemetery.

Mr. Rockstroh died of a heart attack while on duty as a member of the Calistoga Police Force. Mrs. Rockstroh moved at that time to Napa to be near her older daughter, Dorothy, now Mrs. Edward Burnham.

Also surviving is another daughter, Pauline, now Mrs. Laurence Locey of Pinole. There are also brothers, Arthur and Fred Peters, both of Mill Valley, and four grandchildren.
