APPLETON

Appleton residents were shocked and saddened by the passing of Maurice Jordan last Tuesday evening. He and Julius Demeter had been checking the phone line and Maurice was talking to the lineman at the Lyle exchange hut when he was stricken. Mrs. Jordan asked the lineman to call for the ambulance so he was the one who gave her fast assistance. She was truly grateful and wants him to know how thankful she was for his help. Many in Appleton were able to attend the funeral Friday at Gardner Funeral Home. Don Milberger, Ray Shurtz, Julius Demeter, William Wesselius, Joe Smith and Phillip Tuthill were the casket bearers.
