Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Schmidt received a phone call early Saturday morning, Dec. 28, that Mr. Schmidt's father had died early that morning in the Nevada City Hospital, Nevada, Mo. He had been in ill health since last June. The funeral was held in the Mennonite Church at Walker, Mo. on Monday afternoon, Dec. 30, and the body was then taken to Goltry, Okla. where a short memorial service was held and burial was made in the Goltry Cemetery. The Schmidts lived in the Goltry area for about 42 years of their married life. Those attending the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Schmidt and daughters, Mr. and Mrs. Jake Koehn, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Schmidt and son, Mrs. Phillip Unruh, Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. John Smith and family and Mr. and Mrs. Cris Swarey.

Relatives here were saddened when the message came that Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Unruh of Meade had been killed in a head-on car accident.
