Mrs. UNKRICK is survived by her husband Clifford, and a son, Chris; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Garfield BALDWIN of Birmingham, and a sister, Mrs. Lucile KESSEL of Boise, Idaho.

Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the Methodist church in Birmingham with the Rev. F. M. James of Keosauqua in charge. Interment will be in Maple Hill cemetery at Birmingham. The body was taken to the Weston Behner Funeral Home.
