After a prolonged illness, Walter
Peterson, 77 years old, died at his farm home, Tuesday, July 21.
Hardening of the arteries and a light stroke, suffered late in the
winter, caused his death. Funeral services were conducted at 2:00
Friday afternoon at the Presbyterian church and burial was made in
the Colby cemetery. The Rev. William Knobloch officiated at the
rites.
The pallbearers were Clarence Chris,
Morris Gierl, Sherman Harrop, William Hintz, Joe Kunze, and Adolph
