For several years he and his wife, Flossie, had been living at Parkview Manor on South Sixteenth Street but he was a familiar sight on the streets of Blair where he visited with his many friends he had accumulated during his years in business.

He was born at Stanton, Nebraska December 4, 1889 and was 86 years of age at his death.

He is survived by his wife Flossie, and by four daughters and one son.

The daughters are Mrs. Harvey Simpson (Ora) of Mesa, Arizona; Mrs. Don Moore (Mary) of Blair; Mrs. Marshall Gilbert (Barbara) of Fort Dodge, Iowa; and Mrs. George Ketchmark (Phyllis) of Omaha. The son is Mickey Dolan of San Jose, California.

A sister, Mrs. Josie Provitze, lives in Oregon.

There are eleven grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren.
