to Mrs. Sadie HoStetler and fam
lily in the recent loss of their
husband and father, Mr.. Oliver
Hostetler.
Largely attended funeral rites
for our genial, lovable Oliver
or Hostetler were held at the
Troy Congregational Church
with the Rev. John Has-Ellison
officiating on Thursday after
noon.
Born 81 years ago in Sugar
Greek in Tuscarawas County, he
died at Corey Clinic where he
was briefly confined following
a severe stroke.
He was united in marriage
to Sadie Armbrust and they OBJ
served their Golden Wedding
anniversary several years ago.
About forty-four years ago the
family moved TO Troy from
Sugar Greek and they lived on
several farms before moving to
Troy Center. Here he followed
his blacksmith trade for many
years. In later years he con-
tinued that work in Middlefield.
With his passing, Troy loses
one of her most colorful citi-
zens. His humor was priceless
and it certainly will be missed
as will his familiar walk and
cane. All his life he was very
interested in baseball and did a
lot of umpiring. AS the years
advanced and his step faltered,
he still made his rounds of the
games even though 1t took lit
tie longer. He was especially
amused with the Little Leaguers
and seldom missed a game.
His immediate survivors are
his wife Sadie, daugher Mabel
Quigley and son Henry. He was
preceded in death by three chill
dren, namely Villas (Pete) Josie
and Laura. He was the dear
grandfather of 7 and great
grandfather of 5, He is also sur
vived by one brother Abraham
of Troy and a sister, Mrs. Murl
Lewis of Kent. Interment was
in the Troy Cemetery.
There was a good attendance
at Rally Day exercises in the
Congregational church on Sun
day night. Mrs. June Pfleger
and Mrs. Ruth Carey arranged
the nice program. In addition
the former was the narrator and
the latter served as pianist. The
wee" folks sang and asked
plain questions from the mar
rator. The 8-9 year olds, then
identified the older students in
verse, as they literally stepped
out of the pages of the large
Bible that was erected on the
altar.
This was followed by promo
ton exercises and the award
ing of Bibles, and pins for per-
feet attendance. Those receiv-
ing Bibles were Paul and Allen
Kicker, Terry Taylor, Harold
inc UrbanowicZ, Louis Pfleger,
Mary Ann Hudak and Roberta
Hatcher. First year perfect at
tendance pins were awarded to
David Pfleger, and Sam Phen-
ninger. Second year pins went
! to Lucille Chapman, Louis Pile
ger. Mary Lou Bolton, Ricky
Bolton, Barbara and r o b t
/ Pfleger. A four year pin was
awarded to Elaine MattSon.
