Amandus Daniel Wertman, 89, of Kingsland, Texas, passed away peacefully March 10, 2017. He was born to Amandus Ira and Carrie Elizabeth (Bolich) Wertman on Sept. 22, 1927, in East Brunswick, Pennsylvania.

After proudly serving the United States of America in the Army, Dan married his wife, Sophie. Dan and Sophie owned and operated Wertman’s White/Elna Sewing Center in Slatington, Pennsylvania, for more than 30 years. Dan performed sewing machine repairs, while Sophie was a professional seamstress and taught sewing classes.

Eventually, they retired to travel and, in the early 1990s, moved to Texas to be near Sophie’s sister.

Numerous nieces and nephews also survive.

Dan was preceded in death by his parents and siblings.

A graveside service is 2 p.m. March 14 at Lakeland Hills Memorial Park near Burnet. The Highland Lakes Honor Guard will provide military honors.
