Glen Harlan Schoneberg, 93 years of age, of Orleans, passed away on Saturday, December 24, 2011 at the Colonial Villa Good Samaritan Center in Alma, Nebraska. Glen was born on April 15, 1918 in Huntley, Nebraska, the youngest of seven children of George Henry and Mary Louise (Haeker) Schoneberg. He received his education in Huntley.

Glen served his country during WW II until his honorable discharge on December 8, 1943.
