J.L. SEWALL PASSES ON

Death called at the home of Mrs. Annie Baum Monday afternoon and took away
her 72-year-old father, Mr. J.L. Sewall.  He had been in poor health for
several years, but a month ago serious illness forced him to lose hope of
ever logging again and he went to bed at the home of his daughter and never
got up again.

Often in life we are reminded of the way of someone's past life by the things
they keep around them and so it was with this old man who carefully placed
his logging tools at his bedside when he retired for the last time nearly a
month ago.

A simple ceremony marked the end of this 72-year-old man who spent a great
part of his life in McCurtain county.  The Skaggs Funeral Home had charge of
the funeral arrangements with the Rev. Batton officiating.  Interment was
made in the Old cemetery (Broken Bow).

He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Annie Baum and two grandchildren, Thomas
and Sue Dodd, both of Broken Bow.

The News joins the friends of the family in extending our sympathy during
these hours of sadness.
