PIONEER OF CORN, OKLA. COMMUNITY DIED
Corn, Okla. — Pete Ratzlaff,75, pioneer resident here and a member of the Bergtal Mennonite Church, died suddenly Oct. 30. Funeral services were held at the M. B. church here in order to accommodate the large number of relatives and friends who wished to attend.
Mr. Ratzlaff passed away while driving his car near here, the car striking a ditch and bouncing back on the road. He and his parents were among those to make the “run” into Indian territory to stake a claim for a homestead.
