Besides his parents he leaves six sisters, and two brothers: Mrs. Glen Letchford, of Ossian, Mrs. Geo. McFarlane, of Vida, Montana, Mrs. Arthur Topple, of Postville, Blanche, Bernice and Wilma; Percil and Francis at home. Funeral services occurred at the home Sunday conducted by the M.E. pastor, Rev.
