HERMAN WERNECKE Funeral Saturday
Herman Wernecke, 71, an accomplished musician, who died at his San Rafael home last Friday, was buried in Mt. Tamalpais Cemetery Saturday.
Wernecke, who had been ill for many years, suffered a fall from a porch several weeks ago, and the shock and injury hastened his death. He was a native of Germany and came to San Rafael from Texas 30 years ago. Rudolph Wernecke, a son, was drowned with Frank and Harry Whelan, while on a fishing trip last year.
Mr. Wernecke was a member of Mira Monte Camp No. 359, W.O.W. and his survivors are his widow, Mrs. Franke (sic) Wernecke, and his daughters, Mrs. Anna Schneidler, Mrs. Dora Benjamin and Mrs. Katherine Andrade.
