The Adair News, Feb. 15, 1946:

Funeral services for Lawrence H. Hocamp, Exira farmer and former Adair man, who died Saturday night of complications which set in following an operation for removal of a ruptured appendix, were held Tuesday afternoon at the Danish Lutheran church in Exira. The Rev. H. L. Jensen conducted the services. Mr. Hocamp was taken ill Jan. 23 while attending a farm sale and was rushed to the Carroll hospital where an emergency operation was performed. He seemed to be making satisfactory progress and was brought to his home four miles from Exira about ten days later. In a short time, however, it was necessary to return him to the hospital, where he passed away. Mr. Hocamp died one day after he was 38 years old.
