His grandchildren living in Kansas — Mr. and Mrs. Lester Derksen and family of Newton, Mildred Derksen, a student at Bethel College, Vernelle Derksen, who is employed at Hesston, and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Allmond of McPherson — plan to attend the funeral, to be held Friday afternoon at the First Mennonite Church of Mt.
