    girls---he came to Hartford City when a young man from Findlay, O., and
    for a number of years was employed at the American Window Glass plant.
    After its abandonment, he became engaged in the grocery business,
    operating a neighborhood store on west Commercial street. Two years
    ago he retired from active business as he sold the store to Roll Waters.

    The decedent was a member of the Elks lodge and the Scottish Rite. -
    His church affiliation was the Grace Methodist church where he served
    as custodian of all legal papers.

    The body of the decedent was removed to the Lutz funeral home in Sandusky,
    and was to be returned to the Baxter and Markin funeral home, here,
    late Monday afternoon. Funeral services were to be arranged after the
    return of his widow to this city.
