Otto M. Franzen, 56, who has been living in the Walker property passed away suddenly Tuesday afternoon, at his home. He had been in ill health for some time but was not thought to be of such serious nature. A doctor was called earlier in the afternoon, but apparently was not in a very critical condition, however he took suddenly ill after the doctor left and died before he could reach him when called.

At this time definite funeral arrangements have not been made.

The people of the community extend their sympathy to the bereaved relatives in their sorrow.
