Huxley, July 10,--Funeral services for Paul Wenos were held Saturday afternoon. A brief service was held at the home at 1:30 when Mrs. Roy Elliott sang "Tired." Rev. Peder Buland read the 23rd Psalm and offered prayer. Another solo "Does Jesus Care" was sung by Mrs. Elliott. Services were held from the Palestine Lutheran church at 2 p. m. Rev. Peder Buland preached the sermon, using as his texts, the 22nd verse of the 16th chapter of Job, "when a few are come, then I shall go the the way whence I shall not return," and part of the 12th verse of the 4th chapter of Amos, "Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel." A quartet, composed of Gladys Tweedt, Dorothy and Robert Larson and Walter Christopher sang "Going Down the Valley," "Softly and Tenderly" was sung by the church choir and a duet "God's Way is the Best Way" by Mrs. Roy Elliott and Walter Christopher.

He came to America at the age of 16 years, arriving first at Sheldahl. He spent the greater part of his life in this community in both Story and Polk counties. In 1890 he was married to Helen Fjelland. To this union six children were born. His wife passed away in 1910, a son, Henry died in 1916, a daughter Mrs. Amelia Longnecker in 1921, and an infant daughter Alice Cecelia died in 1907 at the age of 10 days.
