Captain Floyd N. Rlched
Chaplain, United States Army
Memorial Services
To be Held Sunday
For Rev. Richert
Due to adverse weather condi-
tions, the service in memory of
Capt. Floyd N. Rlchert, former
local pastor, was postponed until
next Sunday afternoon, at 9.:30.
This service will be conducted in
the City Hall in Beach, and the
public is invited to attend.
Rev. Richert was born in White-
tail, Mont., where his parents re-
side at the present time. There
he attended public school, and at
an early age gave his heart to the
Lord. His high school work was
completed at Red Stone. Minn,, and
soon afterward he felt a call into
the Christian Ministry. Entering
St. Paul Bible Institute, he gradu-
ated in 1934. and four years later
received his Bachelor of Theology
degree from Bethel Seminary in
St. Paul.
He was called to the pastorate of
the Ollie Circuit of the United
Brethren Church in 1938, and was
ordained to the Ministry the fol-
lowing year. After serving two
years at Ollie, he went to York,
Nebraska for additional college
work, and graduated from York
College with a B. A. degree in 1941.
He came to the Beach United
Brethren Church as pastor in 1941,
which charge also included the
Trotters Church. As there was a
vacancy in the Ollle circuit, he
also supplied it, serving Alpha, Car-
lyle and Ollie during that year.
Feeling that God had a greater]
place for him in ministering to the
spiritual welfare of our armedl
forces, Roy. Richert entered th~ I
Army as a chaplain in July, 1942.
He had served during the North
African campaign, in Sicily and
Italy, and recently was transferred
to England, where he met death In
an airplane collision on May 12,
1944.
