The recently deceased Wisconsin native who portrayed the Munchkin coroner in "The Wizard of Oz" will be buried near his Jefferson County hometown.
The public is welcome to attend a visitation on Tuesday for Meinhardt Raabe. It begins at 10 a.m. at Imanuel Lutheran Church in Farmington, with a funeral service to begin at 11.
Raabe parlayed his role in the 1939 classic film into a lifelong avocation, appearing at Oz festivals around the country. He also worked for 30 years as a spokesman for the Oscar Mayer Co.
He is believed to have been one of the last surviving Munchkins.
