Rev. Spraklin died and Mr.
Hamilton went to Kearney and

The country was snowed in in one
of those road blocks that allowed
little or no travel.
The favors he asked of Hamil
ton in 1935 which were carried
out in 1936 were also asked for
his wife, Mary, upon her death.
Mr. Hamilton fulfilled his olv
ligations Monday when Mrs
Spraklin was laid to rest.
The Orchard community, church
members and non-church mem
bers alike, cherish the memory of
a much beloved pastor and his
wife.
