— Funeral services for Mrs. Katherine E. Groneman, 80, who had resided in North Newton for a number of years, were held Thursday afternoon at the Bethel College church, Rev. Russell Mast officiating. The report of her death in last week's Review contained several inaccuracies. She was the daughter of John and Anna Marie Launhart, and the family settled at Hanston, Kansas following their arrival in this country from Europe.
