NATIVE SON, 84 
DIES IN FALLS;  
RITES ARE FRIDAY

Oconto Falls—Funeral services for John Temple, 84, will be held at the family home at two o'clock Friday afternoon, the Rev. John Simon of the Methodist church officiating. Burial will take place in Woodlawn cemetery. The O'Neill Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. The remains will lie in state at the family home after Wednesday afternoon.

Mr. Temple died Tuesday morning after being ill with a complication of diseases for the past several months. He was born in Oconto Falls on July 28, 1869, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Albert Temple, pioneer settlers of the community. His marriage to the former Miss Nina Howland ...(illegible)...1890, who survives him. The couple had many happy anniversary celebrations during their more than sixty three years of wedded life. Last October, the family honored them a week late as the date found both of them in the hospital.

The couple operated a farm in the Beaver Lake community for many years, moving to their present home just outside the city limits about 22 years ago. Until the past year, Mr. Temple kept very busy raising berries, vegetables and flowers.

Besides his wife, Mr. Temple is survived by four sons, Wilbur and Floyd of Oconto Falls, Emery of Green Bay and Ray of Pulcifer, and one daughter, Mora, Mrs. Isaac Dupuis of Iron Mountain, Michigan. A son Alfred, and a daughter preceded their father in death. He is further survived by twenty-seven grandchildren; five great grandchildren' three brothers, William R. Herbert and Elmer, and a sister Mrs. Anton Umentum, all of Oconto falls.

Sincere sympathy is extended to the bereaved wife and children by their many friends.
