    • Miss Luella Klinck

      Miss Luella Klinck, Church St. E., Elmira, died, last Wednesday Oct. 19, after a short illness.

      Born in Elmira in 1892, Miss Klinck was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Klinck. She was a lifelong resident of the town, and a familiar figure in its business life.
      She was associated with her father and her brother Edmund in the publishing of "The Elmira Signet" for some years, and was also secretary-treasurer and a director of the feed business, Klinck's Ltd., which after the death of her brother in 1943 was sold to Klinck Co. Ltd. She then took the position of bookkeeper at the hardware store M. Weichel and Son. Ltd., which position she held until illness forced her retirement last July.

      Surviving are two sisters, Flora and Laurina, of Elmira, and two brothers, Dr. George A. of Toronto, and Harold A. of Oldcastle.

      Two brothers, Edmund, and Dr. W. Arthur, of St. Louis, Mo., predeceased her.
      A memorial service was held at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Oct. 22. Interment was in the Elmira Union Cemetery, Rev. F. Malinsky officiating.
