Passed In Sleep,
Last Friday Night
Katherine Sandstrom
Breaks Arm Again
. Funeral services were held at
2 p. m. Wednesday afternoon at
Baptist Community church for
Otto W. Miller, well-known and
” beloved Harbor resident. Rev.
Nick Neufeld officiated at the
church and at Smith River cem
etery, where he was laid to rest
beside his late wife.
Pall bearers were close friends:
Claude Wright, E. E. Hanscam,
Sr., Curt Waldien, Carl Wallin,
Jack Tungate and Leo Lucas.
Death came quietly to Otto W.
Miller, 92, Friday night, while in
his sleep, at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Herbert Payne. In
the last few days he had enjoyed
exceptional health, and vigor for
his years.
Lightning never strikes
twice in the same place, an
old adage says, but Kather
ine Sandstrom, o w n e r of
Katherm’s Beauty Shop, is
ready to deny this, and has
proof.
Just a little more than two
months ago, she suffered a
broken left wrist, which put
her out of circulation for at
least a mones, when she
felt she must return to work.
Last week, the same wrist
suffered the same fate—but
this time, the doctor says it
will be six weeks before she
can worry about feminine
curls and coiffures.

Cur-Del Cleaners
Will Move To New
Home Before Dec. 1
A progressive step in the his
tory of Cur-Del Cleaners will be
made sometime before the first
ot December when this firm will
move to its new home, the former
Roy Sunderland property, across
the street from Chetco Home &
Auto Supply Co.
Purchased only recently, Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Horst already
have made many alterations on
the house and property, and have
added new equipment to make
the Cur-Del Cleaners one of the
most up-to-date plants of its kind
along the coast any where.
Elsewhere in this issue appears
a message from Mr. and Mrs.
Host, stating that a pick-up and
delivery service will be inaugur-
ated at the time the firm moves
to its new home.
Mr. and Mrs. Horst have made
considerable progress during the
months they have owned the es
tablishment, and this new move
is their expression of the appre
ciation of the patronage which
has been theirs.
