Bernard Frederick Zahn was born in Weatherford, Oklahoma, September 7,

Catholic Church.  For the past year and a half he had attended St.

Edward's Institute at Denton, Tex., the ensuing term, when he would be
graduated from the 12th grade.
He leaves in the immediate family, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Zahn

The many friends of the family extend their sympathy.
