Three Major Calamities
It would seem that Elmwood and
vicinity has had its share of calam
ity during the past few weeks when
three tragic losses have occurred
two of them taking toll of life. The
first was the fire at the Raymond

loss occurred, but that can and is
being replaced. The other two in
volve the tragic deaths of Robert
Hollenbeck from a gunshot wound
and Leland Holka, who met death in

The death of both these young men
will be keenly felt in the commun

leaves a sorrow that will be hard
to erase.
