Corn, Okla. — Funeral services for Mrs. Lena Heidebrecht, 80, an early-day settler in this western Oklahoma area, were held Dec. 20 at the Bethel Mennonite Church near Hydro. Rev. Henry Hege of Geary officiated.

The year following her marriage to Abraham Heidebrecht in 1901, they moved to a farm south of Hydro where they continued to live until 1938. Mr. Heidebrecht died in 1940.
