Thrams, Oakland, Calif, and eight nieces and nephews, Florence Thrams, Elmer Thrams, Willard Thrams, and Mrs. Clark Pedelty, Mason City; Mrs. John Schultheis, Little Cedar; George Thrams, Merchantsville, N. J.; Mrs. George Nelson, Osage, and Dr. Elmer Weber, Lake Mills, Wis.

Mr. Thrams was for 25 years a member of the First Methodist church of Mason City.

The body will arrive in Mason City Friday morning and will be taken to the Major-Randall funeral home, where it will be in state until the time of service. Burial will be at Memorial Park cemetery.
