M., and the Philmont Rod and Gun Club. The Minkler-Seery Post-members met Tuesday night when they conducted services at the Traver Funeral Home.

(nee DeWald), wife of James A. Maloy, second daughter was Mary E. (nee DeWald), wife of Elmer Jennings], of Hudson, five grandchildren and one niece and one nephew [Pat Campbell and Fred H. DeWald].
