Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon from Grace Lutheran Church at Nasonville for Mrs. Walter Roehl, 50, of Rt. 1 Granton, who died November 15 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield. The Rev. Kenneth Petersen officiated and burial was made in the Lynn Cemetery. The Gilbertson Funeral Home in Granton was in charge of arrangements.
