Elmer C. Heublein, 94, of Appleton, Wisconsin, was called to Eternal Life on Tuesday, July 22, 2008, after a short stay at Rennes Health and Rehabilitation Center. He was born on October 20, 1913, in the Town of Herman, Dodge County, R.R. Mayville, Wisconsin, to the late Charles and Helena (Lentz) Heublein. He was married to Mable Fratzke on August 26, 1945.

In retirement he became a member of the Appleton Kiwanis Noon Club, and enjoyed many years with the Friendship X Investment Club. He enjoyed traveling, always searching for by-ways and new places to explore. Hunting and fishing were among his interests. Elmer hunted elk in Washington and deer in northern Wisconsin. He went on various fishing trips to Washington, Northern Minnesota and Canada. Elmer spent many happy hours at the bridge table. But most of all he was devoted to his church, Mount Olive Ev.
