Funeral services for four-year-old Lee Earl Schobel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Schobel of Route 1, Weimar, were held from the Hubbard Funeral Home Saturday noon, the Rev. Wolff of Columbus officiating. Interment was in Shaw’s Bend [Brune] Cemetery.

After the disease was first discovered in the boy’s body in January of this year, radium treatments at a Hallettsville Hospital seemingly had arrested the disease. Recently,however, the abdominal pains returned, and both lungs were found to be infected by the dread disease; a week later the young victim died.

The father and step-mother are the only survivors.

If possible, the most Rev. Stephen A. Leven, auxiliary bishop of San Antonio who visited Tommy several times while he was in the San Antonio hospital, will be here to preside over the services.
Rev. Alex Kraus will be celebrant of the mass, Rev. Joseph Deane will be deacon, Rev. Louis Fritz, sub-deacon. Rev Michael O’Shaughnesay will be master of ceremonies and will deliver the sermon, and Msgr. Anthony Drozd will be in charge of services at the graveside in St. Anthony’s Catholic cemetery.
Tommy had been paralyzed from his neck down since he was injured on the kickoff play in a game between the Bishop Forest Rangers of Schulenburg and a St. Gerard team of San Antonio. He had suffered serious injuries to his spine.
The game was for the regional title of the Texas Interscholastic Catholic league which the Rangers went on to win, 30-6. The Rangers later won the state title.
Tommy was a halfback with the Rangers and was their leading scorer until he was injured. He was tackling a San Antonio player making the kickoff return.
Tommy was transferred from the San Antonio hospital last week to the rehabilitation center in Houston.
He is survived by his parents; an older sister, Jo Ann Schobel; and 2 younger brothers, Robert Schobel Jr. and Andy Schobel.
