The body was taken to the Frist Funeral Home on Blackman St., where it will remain until 1 p.m. It will be removed to the Center Church and lie in state one hour prior to the services.
Rev. D.E. Noland of the Fairview Methodist Church is the officiating minister and Masonic rites will be held at the grave. Burial is to be in Helt's Prairie Cemetery.
All persons wishing to view the body are asked to call at the funeral home of the church before the services, as the casket will be closed at that time.
