Funeral services have been set for 9:30 this morning at the West Bend Catholic church, and we hope to publish a more complete obituary of Mr. Higgins next week.

Joe came here when but a small lad with his father, the late Pat Higgins, and grew up in this vicinity. From here he went into the United States Army in 1918 and served in France as a member of the first A. E. F. He was a member of theAmerican Legion Post here for the first three years after it was organized but following his marriage moved from this vicinity.

His many friends here will be grieved by the news of his passing."
