Resident of Winterset Township 60 Years Buried Yesterday at Milberger
George R. Dumler, a resident of Winterset township for 60 years, died Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock at the Russell hospital where he had recently submitted to two operations.
Mr. Dumler will be remembered long for the model of the United States capitol building which he carved from native stone, spending the greater part of four years on the work.

Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the Milburger church in charge of the Rev. E. H. L. Frese, and Deines Brothers. Interment was in the Milberger Cemetery.
