Horse-Drawn Hearse A Fitting Sendoff - Regional News - Berks Story ...

OLEY TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A former Berks County man who spent much of his life caring for horses got a unique send off Monday afternoon.

A horse-drawn hearse took Joel "Joey" Schlegel to his final resting place.

Schlegel passed away last week at age 61. He used to run the Featherhill Tack Shop in Lenhartsville.

Friends said the procession was a fitting tribute. "He's been in the horse business for years," said David Rohrbach. "Probably since he's been a kid. His parents had horses, and he's been working with horses all his life."

The procession ended at Frieden's Church cemetery in Oley.
