while on a fishing trip with his
family. This untimely ending

uncles, one aunt, and other relatives
and friends.

Evangelical and Reformed
Church on Sunday, July 4th, with

Gobel Graves at the piano and a
quartet consisting of Mrs. Everett
Selken, Mrs. Francis Glackin,
W. R. Wagner and Rev. Romanowski.
