ELMER LUECKER
The remains of Elmer Luecker, son of Peter Luecker of our city, arrived here from San Francisco on Tuesday evening. Members of the local Legion Post bore the remains from the depot to the Janke home to await burial. The sudden death of this young man was a great shock to the whole community.
The decedent was born in this city on Sept. 4, 1895, and spent his happy boyhood days here until his graduation from our high school in 1913. He then entered Lawrence University Appleton, which he attended for one year, after which he entered the University of Wisconsin for the full general course. While at the University the World War broke out and when our country entered in he enlisted for the aviation branch, and left for Europe in November 1917. While serving he sustained severe injuries in an accident and was invalided home in August 1918, and was unable to return during the war. At the close of the war he was a member of the Officers' Reserve Corps, holding the rank of first lieutenant. Entering Georgetown University at Washington, DC, he studied international law, preparing himself for the consular service. After his graduation in 1921, he was sent to Mexico where he spent the summer as American consular official. Deciding to enter the business field, he returned to New York and accepted a position with the America Foreign Credit Underwriters' Assn. and in that capacity traveled extensively, his duties taking him to most of the large cities throughout the United States. He severed his connection with this association last spring and in April of this year came home for the first real vacation since leaving the University of Wisconsin to enter military service. He then became associated with a large collection agency in San Francisco and this position he still held at the time of his death there last week.
Suffering the loss of his mother at an early age, father and son became true pals. An affection and mutual trust existed between them most pleasing to behold. Everything his Dad could do for the boy was done without stint and honorable did the young man requite his love. To his father, now so sadly bereft, and to the only sister, Mrs. Elsie Janke, on whom he lavished his love and by whom he was so greatly loved, our community extends its most sincere sympathy.
