Ernest Langner // 1909 - 2009
Ernest George Langner, 99, of St. Joseph, passed away on Thursday, November 5, 2009, at a local health care center.
Ernest was born on December 23, 1909, in Saxton, Mo., to George C. and Caroline R. (Halter) Langner.
He was a warehouseman with Missouri Water and Steam.
He married Myrtle M. Meister on November 24, 1937, in St. Joseph. She preceded him in death on May 5, 1995.
He was also preceded by two sisters, Mary and Catherine.
He is survived by his children: Catherine M. Hill (Bob), Bonaparte, Iowa; Kathleen F. Whitesel (Ron), Excelsior Springs, Mo.; Robert G. Langner, St. Joseph, Mo.; Anna M. Poole, Eagle Point, Ore.; one brother, Larry Langner (Beverly), York, Neb.; one sister, Marietta Schottel, St. Joseph; nine grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
The family will receive friends from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday at Heaton-Bowman-Smith & Sidenfaden Chapel. A family graveside service will be held at St. Joseph Cemetery, Easton, Mo.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials to the St. Joseph Cemetery Association.
Ernest and Myrtle were my godparents. We lost touch many years ago, but it is still sad to hear of his passing. I remember going with dad (Bill Wild) as a little girl to the farm on Saturday for eggs;I remember when they moved into town, just a block away from our house; and I remember the lye soap on grandma's kitchen sink that she always had to let visitors know that Myrtle made that soap.
My heart felt sympathy to the family.
