Leonard R. HISEL, 79, died early Thursday morning at his home, 807 W. Burlington. It was found that he had died in his sleep of an apparent heart attack at about the same time his wife was undergoing surgery at Jefferson County Hospital. She will not be able to attend the funeral.

Last rites will be at Behner Funeral home at 2 p.m. Sunday with the Rev. Lynn Bergfalk in charge. The funeral and committal service will be at the funeral home. Burial will be later at Evergreen Cemetery, due to the deep snow.
