• Notes

  Obit Correction There has been a serious error in the Vincent Jindra obituary. Your paper states: "surviving are his wife, one daughter< Mrs. Quentin (Shirley) Hunt, Hammond, Ind." If you will check at the courthouse in Sturgeon Bay, you will find Quentin Hunt married Shirley Larson, not Shirley Jindra. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Win Larson of Sturgeon Bay. Vincent Jindra is survived only by his wife Hazel (Nee Lampson). and one brother Harry Jindra. MR. AND MRS. WIN LARSON
