RITES HELD SAT. FOR VIOLA HECKER

Mrs. Viola Bell Hecker, 76, widow of Chester Hecker, died Wednesday morning at 
her farm home southeast of Woodland near the Kilpatrick church. She had been in 
ill health for several years. Mrs. Hecker was a lifelong resident of that area 
and was the daughter of pioneer residents, John and Mary Kilpatrick. She resided 
on the farm adjacent to the one her parents lived on when they came here in 
1843.

Her father, some years after he settled there built the first Kilpatrick church 
building located on the site of the present church. Her husband died 
unexpectedly 17 years ago.

Surviving are a son, Ward of Gd. Rapids, and two daughters, Mrs. Fred (Trellis) 
Cox and Mrs. Kenneth (Betty) McCurdy, both of Woodland.

Funeral services were held Saturday at the Kilpatrick church, of which she was a 
member, with the Rev. Vernon Beardsley officiating. Burial in the Woodland 
Memorial Park.
