Funeral Services for Solmon Solmonson Held Saturday
Solmon Solmonson, who to his old time friends in this county, was better known as Sam Solmonson, passed away at his farm home north of Gruver, last Thursday morning at the age of 68.

We have had the pleasure of Mr. Solmonson’s acquaintance for many years. He has always been an honest and industrious farmer and has made a success of his chosen occupation.
