Funeral services were held Thursday, April 25th at Lilly’s Funeral home in Des Moines for Earl McCollum, 41, whose death occurred last Tuesday following a brief illness with tetanus or lock jaw. Mr. McCollum was the brother of Mrs. Loyd Mason of Winterset, and had visited here the Saturday preceding his death. His illness was caused by a small scratch on his finger two weeks before, but no ill effects were noticed until he became seriously ill on Sunday. He was rushed to the Broadlawns General hospital in Des Moines, and died there last Tuesday morning.
