Sad he was so young when he passed.

It is nice that his daughter and sisters and wife were listed.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that no state was listed in this obituary, Wendy. And even the name of the newspaper doesn't include a location. (Do many newspapers include the location in their title?) I suppose whoever was reading the newspaper at that time knew the location of his funeral.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what "attending in a body" means?
