Apqar Area Loses Resident
by Apgar school

little community Monday night
when we heard of the sudden
death of Johnnie Washburn. John
ME had been shoveling off roofs.
At about $3.50 he had gotten cold
and had come up to get warm and
have coffee. He then went back to
his shoveling. Around six o'clock
when Gilbert went to call his dad
dy he found him dead in the snow.
The community of Apgar extend
their deepest sympathy to Bea
Washburn and family.
