Funeral services were held here Monday afternoon in the Schutte Funeral Home for Nancy Jean Hanks, 19, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry N. Hanks, former Postville residents now living at Muskogee, Oklahoma. Miss Hanks had been ill for only a brief period and passed away at the Muskogee general hospital last Thursday. The Rev. Eldon L. Seamans, pastor of the Community church, had charge of the services and interment was in Postville cemetery.

Norma Jean was born in Postville on May 19, 1926, and attended the local schools until the family removed from this community. She graduated from the Ft. Smith, Ark., high school in 1944, when the family lived in that city, and she was also a member of the Presbyterian church of Ft. Smith.

Besides her parents, she is survived by her fiance, Kenneth A. Johnson of Knoxville, Iowa, who was with her at the time of her passing but was unable to attend the services here, and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hanks of Postville.
