Headline HENRY LEHR FOUND DEAD
Text Henry Lehr, 60 years old, a well-known farmer residing with his niece, Mrs. Frank Belka, 2 miles north of Pioneer, was found dead a short distance from the Belka home Monday, January 28.

Lehr, who had been in bad health for several months with a stomach disease, was talking to his brother and nephews at three o’clock in the afternoon and at 5 o’clock he was found sitting on the bank of Shoal Creek dead.

A coroner’s jury, which investigated Mr. Lehr’s death Tuesday, returned a verdict that he came to his death from unknown causes. Indications were that his death was from natural causes.

He is survived by one brother, two nieces, Mrs. Frank Belka and Mrs. A. L. Belka of Wheaton and a daughter, Mrs. N. L. Kromerch of Picher, Okla.

Funeral services were conducted Wednesday at the Mt. Olive Church by Rev. Mike Montgomery of Fairview and burial made in the Mt. Olive Cemetery.
