Early-Day Oklahoma Settle Dies

Enid, Okla. — Services for Jacob F. Kliever, 79, who died suddenly March 31 at his home 2113 W. Randolph, Enid, were held at 10 a. m. the following Monday at the Grace Mennonite church with Rev. Albert Unruh officiating. Rev. Henry Hege, Rev. Floyd Davis, and Rev. August Schmidt assisted.
