Mrs. Thompson's father, Rev. C. D. Wendell, pastor of the Evangelical church at Radcliffe, officiated at the short funeral services held at the cemetery, which was attended by the immediate families. Those from here in attendance were Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Thompson and Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Thompson. Others of the family present were miss Ruth Wendell, Mrs. Merle Dickinson of Colo, and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Wendell of Nevada.

The mother, Mrs. Thompson, is making satisfactory recovery and expects to leave the hospital the end of this week.
