Funeral Rites For C O Blunk From Methodist Church

From the Methodist church Sunday afternoon, the funeral services were held for C O Blunk, veteran of World War No. 1, whose death occurred early Saturday morning at the Houston hospital, following an illness of long duration. The pastor, the Rev. W C McCay, officiated, assisted by the Rev. Bert Craig. Burial was in the Houston cemetery.

Mr. Blunk was a native of Missouri but of recent years had made his home in Oklahoma City, and was well known throughout Kansas and Texas as well as Oklahoma. For twenty-five years he had been associated in business with the Southerland Lumber Co., resigning last winter on account of ill health. It was then that he came here to reside in the home of his father-in-law, J W Hill, following the death of Mrs. Hill. His wife to whom he was married in November of 1921, was Miss Maxine Hill.

During the World War No. 1 he served in an experimental aviation station. Even though his illness had cut him off from the business world, he kept up with the governmental affairs and with the war news until the last.

He was a member of the Methodist church of Oklahoma, but although never able to attend here, there had sprung up between him and the Methodist pastor a warm friendship.

Besides his wife, he leaves one sister, Mrs. George Gould of West LaFayette, Ind., and three brothers, R o Blunk, Wichita, Kan., A R Blunk, of Charrite, Kan., and H E Blunk of Los Angeles, Cal.

Serving as pallbearers were: Arthur Rush, Small Marlow, Bertram Moore, Doyle Stubblefield, Clint Paden and Buford Woods.
