The son of Oda and Louisa Woner Paul, he was born Feb. 15, 1932. A few weeks after his birth the family moved to a farm west of Newburg, where he had lived since. He was graduated with the class of 1950 from Newburg High School.

He also was a member of the Jasper County Farm Bureau and the Newburg Congregational Church which he served as a deacon. Mr. and Mrs. Paul were also members of the Couples Club at the church. While active in farming, Mr. Paul also did some trucking for the DeKalb Seed Corn Co.

He was preceded in death by his mother in 1958 and his father in 1960. Survivors include his wife Kay; his daughter, Pamela Kay, whose marriage was to take place in two weeks; and several uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews.
