A heart condition had lessened his activities the last few years but he still maintained an active interest in his business. Ora was a hospitable man and his friends and relatives were always welcome in his home. He was devoted to his home and family and his two grandchildren were his pride and joy. We shall always remember Ora as a soft-spoken man one who loved the great out-of-doors, one who loved to fish and hunt – a kind of man who had a great respect for the handiwork of God. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. at Veedersburg Christian Church. The body is at the Fishero Funeral Home and will lie in state at the church from 1 until 2. Rev. Ralph Leon Sell officiating. – kbz
