Funeral Services For Mureal Lock

Funeral services for Muriel Arlene Lock, 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cassel T. Lock, who passed away at an early hour Wednesday morning were held from the Nevada Evangelical church Friday afternoon following a brief prayer service at the home.

The services were in charge of the Rev. John Deedrick. Six little girls, Doris Scott, Frances Scott, Faye Mulanix, Geraldine Hubner, Helen Mulanix and Donna Larson, acted as pall bearers.
