With a number of Clark County residents present, funeral services were held March 17 in Hillsboro, Ore., for Theodore H. Franz, 68, former Greenwood resident, who died March 14. Death was attributed to a heart condition.

They later made their home in Goldendale, Wash., before moving to Oregon in 1933, and had lived in Aloha, Ore., since 1953.

Mr. Franz was a retired farmer and nurseryman, and had been employed part time at the Daybreak Nursery at Cornelius, Ore.
