Hodawanic, Mary (? - 6 Nov 1954)

Funeral services for Mrs. Mary Hodawanic of Huron were held Tuesday morning at 9:30 o’clock at St. John’s Orthodox Church in Huron, with Rev. Michael Chervinsky officiating.  Interment was in the church cemetery. Grandsons acted as pallbearers.

Surviving are seven children, Mrs. Catherine Leje of Huron; Mrs. Anna Jean Petschow, Chicago Mrs. Grace McLeod, Waupun; Mrs. Irene Hurt, Bloomer; Mrs. Marie Doege, Thorp (Clark Co., Wis.); Harry and George of Huron; Betty, Paul and Robert at home.  There are 31 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
