Rev. Oswald Sandbach will officiate and burial will be made in the Reinbeck cemetery.

Deceased was united in marriage with Bert R. Garwood in Reinbeck on April 15, 1918, and two children were born to this union, Archie Bert and Ira Zane, now in the U.S. Navy. The first-born child died several years ago. The coupled moved to California, where they were separated, and deceased returned to Reinbeck and was united in marriage with
