  Mr. and Mrs. Mike Martin of
Long Beach, California, are vis-
iting with old friends in this city
this week, having come through
with the remains of Mrs. Mar-
tain's mother, the late Mrs. Ho-
henshelt.  Mr. Martin had not
visited Sayre in nearly twelve
years, and finds many changes
from conditions at the time he
left here.
  Mrs. Jake Kroker, formerly of
this city, but now residing at
ElReno, came down Saturday to
attend the funeral of Grandma
Hohenshelt, remaining over un-
til Monday afternoon to visit
with old friends.

  "Grandma" Hohenshelt, a pio-
neer resident of this section and
city, but who for several years,
has been making her home with
her daughter, Mrs. Mike Martin,
in California died on Tuesday
last, word being telegraphed to
this city that night.
  The remains will be brought
here for burial, the funeral party
being expected to reach this city
Saturday noon.  Interment will be
in the Doxey-Sayre cemetery.
  Mrs. Hohenshelt was the
mother of the last Sanford Ho-
henshelt, and of Earl Hohenshelt
of this city, and Chas. Honhen-
shelt of the Doxey section.  Her
long residence in and adjacent 
to this city gave her a wide ac-
quaintance, she being familiarly
known as "Grandma" Hohen-
shelt to nearly every resident up
to the time of her going to Cali-
fornia.  She was a lady very
highly respected by her old
neighbors and although she had
lived to a ripe old ate (over 80)
her death will be sincerely re-
gretted by all.
