Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Ring came down from Hooper the first of the week to attend the funeral of Mrs. Ring’s sister, Mrs. John Fittro of Tekamah, who was a daughter of Mrs. Schumacher of this city. Mrs. Fittro died at an Omaha hospital last Saturday morning, and the remains were laid to rest in the family lot in the Calhoun cemetery on Monday.
