Mrs. Wiens, a missionary in India with her husband for over 31 years, died Friday, Aug. 17. Mrs. Kliewer died Saturday, Aug. 25. She and her husband had been missionaries among the Cheyenne Indians in Oklahoma for over 40 years. The two retired workers spent their last years in the Bethel Home for Aged.
