Funeral services were held last Friday morning at Ballhorn Funeral Chapels in Sheboygan for Henry Huber, a former Colby citizen, who died Tuesday, Oct. 4, at the Memorial Hospital in Sheboygan after a lingering illness. Burial was made in the Colby (Colby, Clark Co. Wis.) Cemetery where graveside services were held.
