• Notes

  Jonas Cressman Dies in 71st Year Was Lifelong Resident of Wilmot Centre. Citizens of Wilmot Centre were shocked to learn on Monday morning of the sudden passing of Jonas Cressman, in his 71st year. The deceased had been in apparent good health upon rising on Monday morning and had attended church service on Sunday afternoon at the Evangelical Church at Wilmot Centre, of which church he was a faithful member for a number of years. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, Miss Elsie Cressman, R.N., of Los Angeles, and Ethel (Mrs. Roy Hamacher) of Wilmot, and one son, Elmer Wayne, at home. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon from his late residence to the Wilmot Centre Church. The bereaved family have the deepest sympathy of their many friends in their bereavement.
