Abendpost, Aug. 3, 1914

Albert W. Beilfuss, former member of the City Council as alderman of the Fifteenth Ward, was buried yesterday afternoon at Concordia Cemetery. A large number of mourners, among them Mayor Harrison, many aldermen, and a host of city employees, were in the funeral cortege. Several hundred children, delegated to show their appreciation of Beilfuss' efforts to provide playgrounds for them, also attended.

After a short song service at the home of the deceased, his body was escorted to Saint John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, where the main service was held. The Reverend H. H. Succop officiated, assisted by the Reverend Paul Sauer. [List of honorary and active pallbearers omitted in translation.]
