. . .

— The many friends and acquaintances of Chris Hertzler at Hesston were shocked to hear of his sudden death of heart attack at about 7:30 o’clock Friday morning, Feb. 7. He collapsed after descending the stairs at his home and passed away before the doctor arrived. Having been one of our long-time friends, the Review editor is among those who feels his loss deeply. Mr. Hertzler was perhaps one of the state’s best known well drillers, an occupation which he followed for more than 40 years. Funeral services were held at the Hesston College chapel Monday afternoon, conducted by Pres. Milo Kauffman and Ivan Lind. His wife and three daughters survive.
