— Mr. and Mrs. P. D. Claassen have returned from Beatrice, Nebr., where they attended the funeral of their 80-year-old brother-in-law, Henry Claassen Sr., at the Beatrice Mennonite Church Sunday afternoon. Rev. Ralph Weber, the pastor, was in charge of the services. Mr. Claassen was instantly killed near Hanover, Kan., Wednesday, June 8, when a truck crashed into the side of the car driven by Henry W. Jr., who resides in Wichita with his family. Also in the car was Mrs. Claassen, Henry's mother, who was badly bruised and shaken, and his small son Tommy, who suffered severe cuts and lacerations, but otherwise was not dangerously hurt. All received emergency treatment at the Hanover Hospital. The elder Mr. and Mrs. Claassen had intended to spend some time in Wichita with their children.
