Raymond H. Suhr, former rancher and Holyoke business man, passed away Friday morning at the Logan County hospital in Sterling after a lingering illness. Death was attributed to cancer.

Services were conducted at the Holyoke Baptist church on Sunday afternoon, with Rev. Frank Alexander, pastor of the Assembly of God Church, officiating. Interment was in Holyoke Memorial Park. The Lewis Funeral home was in charge of arrangements.

Raymond H. Suhr was born in Defiance County, OH, on July 31, 1903, and came to Holyoke with his parents in 1908. The family resided here until 1913 when they moved to Sterling. He received his education in the public schools of Phillips and Logan counties.
