Fifteen Cars At Funeral Are Held In Drifts
Horses Draw Hearse To Farm Near Sherwood For The Night
Sherwood, Wis.—(AP)—A volunteer shoveling crew opened a mile and a half of drifted road this morning so that a belated and snowed in funeral could be held 24 hours late.
Farmers had opened their homes to the funeral party Tuesday night after five hours of work had moved the cortege a quarter mile.
The procession started at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday with the body of Frank Schaefer, 63, a farmer, bound for the church and services when it became stuck. The county snowplow was in another part of the county.
The body was brought to a nearby farm and kept in a barn overnight.

Sherwood, Wis.—(AP)—Drifted snow over the highways three and four feet deep, halted a funeral cortege of 15 cars and held a large number of persons stranded about a half mile from here Tuesday afternoon.
Soon after the cars were snowbound, members of the group scattered—some attempted to return to this village afoot, while others were able to reach nearby farm homes.
The hearse, carrying the body of Frank Schaefer, 63, who died Saturday, was drawn to a farm by a team of horses and placed in a barn.
Funeral services were to have been held in a Lutheran church about three miles from here. Following the services in the home here it was reported tonight that an attempt will be made to continue the services today.
