Funeral services were held yesterday, Monday, May 15, for Leslie E. Krueger, 68, who passed away Saturday at a hospital in Madison where he had been for the past two weeks being treated for a heart condition.  Services were held at the Alliance Church with the parish pastor Rev. James Stone officiating.  Burial was made at Riverside Cemetery.
