Funeral services were held Friday at the Bybee and Davis Funeral home in Knoxville for Clarence Croft, a native of Winterset, whose death occurred at a Des Moines Hospital April 3. The Rev. Paul P. Kniess of Knoxville officiated. Burial was made in the Winterset cemetery.

Mr. Croft, who was 56 years of age, at his death, was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ross Croft of Winterset. He was born here March 29, 1906 and lived here until 1934, when he moved to Knoxville, where he spent the remainder of his life, except for a short time in Des Moines.
