Funeral services for Mrs. Silas Vunk, 59, who died Friday, were held Sunday 
afternoon, with Rev. Warren E. Brown, of Marshall, officiating.  Mrs. Vunk 
died in Lansing following an operation Sunday.  She was taken to Lansing by 
the Bandfield ambulance a week ago.

She is survived by her husband, Silas Vunk, and one daughter, Mrs. John 
Spotts.  One sister and three brothers, also survive her.  The sister is Mrs. 
Floyd Martin, of Portland.  Brothers are Wm. T. Shotwell, of Denver, Colo., E.

Thurston Shotwell.  She was married to Silas Vunk in 1900, and they have lived 
near Maple corners north of Portland throughout their married lives.  For many 
years Mr. and Mrs. Vunk lived just north of Maple corners, and following the
