   After a few days of detention at his home, Frank Orndorff passed away to his
reward last Saturday morning.
   Mr. Orndorff was a quiet, peaceful, hard-working citizen, always doing his work

found at his-shop and believed attending well to business.  He was kind and
considerate but unpretentious.

community as well as by the 
village people.
   The funeral was held at the residence on N. Main street, at 2 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon.  Rev. A. F. Nagler 
preached and Rev. and Mrs. Nagler and son Reed sang.  Interment was at Lakeside
cemetery.
