In failing health a number of years, 42-year-old Fred T. Paulsen, retired Blair farmer, died Saturday at Immanuel Hospital in Omaha. He had retired from farming northwest of Blair in 1948 due to his poor health, since which time the family has lived at 301 East South St.

Funeral services were held Monday at 1:30 p.m. at the home, followed at 2 p.m. by rites at First Lutheran Church. The Rev. H.C. Jorgensen officiated and burial, with arrangements in charge of the Bendorf Funeral Home, was in Blair Cemetery.

Pallbearers were Paul V. Hansen, Karl Christensen, Carl Rasmussen, Walter Nielsen, J.P. Nielsen and Ingvert Skobo.
