Three Deaths

There are three deaths to report, albeit belatedly, which might be of interest to Lime Springers.

These first two are actually cousins of mine. Hazel Davis was a first cousin of my mother, as was Tommy Hovey's father.

Hazel's husband was John W. Davis, as opposed to John E. Davis. They lived north of Lime Springs. Her obituary can be found here: http://lindstromfuneralhomes.com/ You might have to click on "Obituaries" first, then on her name.

Tommy grew up on the state line road, very near the east end, NE of Foreston. He married Darlene Troxel, who lived almost across the road from Hoveys and who rode the school bus with us. They have lived in Cedar Rapids for decades, but I haven't seen Tommy for even more decades. His obituary is here: http://murdochfuneral.frontrunnerpro.com/runtime/3056/runtime.php?SiteId=3056&NavigatorId=53731&op=tributeObituary&viewOpt=dpaneOnly&ItemId=376321

Everyone who grew up in Lime Springs during the middle part of the last century knew Arlow and June Johnson. They operated the drug store for years, and Arlow was mayor. Both were very active in our community. Arlow's obituary is here: http://lindstromfuneralhomes.com/ You'll have to click on "Obituaries" to find it.
