Homer Enterprise July 22, 1937
In last week's issue of The Enterprise appeared the funeral notice of the late Mrs. Gertie Mae Phillips in which the name of the mother was given as Flossie Robbins. This was an error. The mother's name is Mrs. Fannie Griffeth, formerly Mrs. Fannie Bear, who survives her daughter.
