Carl Schamerloh, who was killed in action in France last fall, will be held at the Immanuel Lutheran Church, northeast of Decatur, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Arrangements for the service were announced today by the war victim's wife, Leona, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Schamerloh of Union Township. Rev. E. Allwardt, pastor of the church, will conduct the altar service, and Rev. William II Remmert, former pastor, now of McAllen, Texas, will deliver the memorial sermon. Pfc. Schamerloh was inducted into army service November 17, 1942, and after receiving training at Camp Wheeler, Ga., was sent overseas in March of 1943. He saw action in Africa and Italy, particularly on the Anzio beachhead, and marched through Rome with his company. When the theater of war for his outfit changed to Southern France, he was shifted to that field of action, where he was killed September 9, 1944. He had previously been awarded the good conduct medal and the combat infantryman award. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
