OBITUARIES
Edgar Edward Fischer
Edgar Edward Fischer died
Wednesday, Nov. 7, 1999 at the
Blanco Health Care Center. He
was 94. He was born in Blanco
Aug. 10, 1905 to Herman and
Emma Jonas Fischer.
In 1922 he and his family moved

and ranching. Edgar continued liv-
ing with his mother until 1953,

They moved to New Braunfels and
Edgar worked for the City of New
Braunfels in the maintenance
department. After Lillie’s death in
1983, he moved back to Kendalia
and was living with his sister,
Thekla, until he became very ill in
October.
Edgar loved animals and was
always worried about whether or
not the animals around him had
enough food and water. He had
lots of cats that he tended daily
until three weeks ago. He said God
wanted him to feed the cats
because most of them were strays.
There was also Lady, the small
Collie dog.

parents; his siblings Hilda, Regina
and Alvin; three brothers-in-law
Walter Werner, Walter Wengenroth
and Eddie Krause; and one

nephews plus many friends and
other relatives.

Faster response, better service.
You may see PEC trucks like this one in some different places in the near future.
Service representatives who are on call can now use PEC vehicles to attend
family-oriented community events. They’ll stay in touch with PEC dispatchers
through pagers or mobile phones. ■ Allowing our employees a little more
flexibility with vehicles means service needs can be met at a moment’s notice. It
also gives employees more opportunity to participate in their communities. ■ So
if you see a PEC truck at a Little League game or school gathering, don’t worry.
It’s part of our commitment to continually find ways to serve you better and more
efficiently.
