and Leroy Kluthe, both of Litchfield; Ila Mae, wife of Ernest David,
Dorine, wife of Harold Treat and Eleanor, wife of William Edson, all of
Springfield; and M-Sgt. Fred Kluthe, who is stationed at Wichita Falls,
Tex. There are eleven grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Also surviving are two brothers, Chris and William Kluthe, both of
Dieterich, in Effingham county, and a sister, Mrs. Carrie McQuay, of
Effingham. Three sisters and two brothers preceded him in death. Mr.
Kluthe attended the Lutheran church of Irving.

The remains were removed to the Bass funeral home at Hillsboro. Services
