— Mr. and Mrs. Roland P. Pankratz of Newton and Mrs. John Jantzen of Burrton went to Omaha, Neb. on Monday where they attended a memorial service for their brother-in-law, Rev. Albert M. Schmidt, who died there Feb. 1 at the age of 50. Rev. Schmidt who had suffered from a heart ailment for some time, was a pioneer missionary of the K. M. B. Church in the city of Omaha, serving as the first pastor of the Fontenelle Chapel there. He retired from the work about a year ago. The body was sent to Carpenter, S. D., where funeral services were held Saturday at the Bethel K. M. B. church. Taking part in the service at the Grace Baptist Church in Omaha were representatives of Grace Bible Institute, which is closely associated with the work of the K. M. B mission. Rev. Schmidt is survived by his second wife, the former Ella Pankratz, daughter of the late Rev. Frank Pankratz, and five children, by his first marriage.
