Funeral services for Walter Siegel, 65, resident of Green River for nearly 50 years, were held Tuesday at the Eagles Hall in Green River. The Rev. Charles B. Traill of St. John’s Episcopal church conducted the services and burial was in Green River’s Riverview cemetery.

At the age of 16 he went to Green River to work for his cousin, Hugo Gaensslen in the Green River brewery. From 1920 to 1923 he was manager of the Green River stockyards for the Union Pacific railroad. He had served Sweetwater county as commissioner and as a member of the state legislature.
He was a member of the Green River Fraternal Order of Eagles, Woodmen of the World and the Isaac Walton League. He had served St. John’s Episcopal church as a vestryman for many years.
In 1912 he married Lillian Whitmore, daughter of the late Tom Whitmore, Sweetwater county pioneer and one of its early day sheriffs.
Survivors are his widow, one son and two daughters, Thomas Siegel of Cheyenne, Mrs. Allen Kemp of Green River and Mrs. Lillian McCoy of Green River. Two granddaughters, Margaret and Julia Siegel, both of Cheyenne, also survive.
