Found Dead In Home At Ireton

The body of Hilmer Youngren, 67, was found about 3:30 Sunday afternoon at his small house in Ireton by Adolph Twillman and Arthur Kluter. It was assumed that he died some time after Friday night. The body was found near the gas heater and it was theorized that Mr. Youngren may have fallen against the stove's thermostat since the house was extremely hot.

Mr. Youngren who never married, was a veteran of World War I. He suffered from diabetes for several years.

The body was taken to Odebolt for burial by the Matts Funeral home. Survivors include a brother Paul, of Odebolt.
