Dr. Arthur Hotelling, 84, former Estherville chiropractor, died today at 8:25 a.m. at Holy Family Hospital. He had been ill for two months, during which he had been hospitalized. Death was caused by complications of advanced age.

They practiced their profession in Rock Valley for 13 years, in Estherville for seven years, and in Northwood for 19 years. Upon retiring they returned to Estherville in 1950 and since then had made their home here.
