NOTE: The child’s mother’s maiden name was Godfrey.

Loretta Marie Hoffman, the infant daughter of Mr.-and Mrs. Elmer Hoffman, died very suddenly of pneumonia Tuesday afternoon, April 20.

The funeral was held at Adaville Church on Thursday and would have been largely attended but for another downpour of rain. The young parents have the sincere sympathy of the neighborhood in their loss.
