      Obituary
      1952 Nov 13 - Percy G Felker, 61, 2319 Tower Ave., city fireman, died Wednesday night. He was born Nov 16, 1892 in Superior & entered service with the fire department June 22, 1925. He was promoted to a driver on May 16, 1934 & to the rank of captain Feb 15, 1944. Due to a disability, he retired July 1, 1952.

      While with the fire department, Felker was active in the welfare programs of fire department service. He was a member of the Wisconsin Paid Firemen's Assn. & the Wisconsin State Assn. of Fire Fighters. He served as trustee & secretary of the Firemen's Pension Fund while on duty here & was a past president of the Superior Firefighters, Local 74. He served as director & financial secretary of the Firemen's Relief Assn.

      Olaf Sorenson, chief of Superior Fire department said Thursday, "In the passing of Capt. Percy Felker, who recently retired from the department, I feel a great personal loss. He was always an efficient officer & accepted work for the welfare department without thinking of time or rewards. His loss is keenly felt by many friends he made in the more than 27 years of work in the fire department."

      He is survived by his wife, Charlotte; several nieces & nephews.
