Mr.. Oetzel Gault, near Kelton, who
was also sick and there is where Mr..
Gault died, near his old home where
he was born.
He was Methodist. He was once
on the board of stewards and I heard
a member of that board say he was
true to his trust. He always stood
ready to collect and help pay out the
assessment.
