  La Porte City, Nov. 14--Funeral services for Mrs. Roy Brown, 69, of La Porte 
City, will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Methodist Church 
here.  Rev. Ernest L. Shaffer of the Vinton Prairie Creek church, former

of La Porte City's Methodist church.  Burial will be in West View Cemetery.
  Mrs. Brown died yesterday afternoon at Allen Memorial Hospital in Waterloo

home.  Death was caused by a cerebral hemorrhage.

retired and moved to LaPorte City.  She joined the Fairview United Brethren 
Church in her youth and was an active member of the church.  She was also a 
member of the Rebekah lodge for many years before resigning a year ago.
 Surviving are her husband, six sons, Clifford of Dysart, Ralph, Lawrence and
