Calvin Krepcik Buried Here

The remains of Calvin Krepcik of Gothenburg, who for several years resided on a farm north of Farnam, were buried in the local cemetery Saturday afternoon with military services by the Farnam American Legion at the cemetery, following church services at Gothenburg.

Krepcik died enroute to a hospital last week following an accident at Shelton in which his truck loaded with cattle and a bus collided at an intersection in that town.

The bus driver has been charged with the blame for the accident and is being held under that charge.
