Services were Friday, May 12, 1995, at Reichmuth Funeral Home’s West Maple chapel for Clare Gelston, 88 of Omaha and formerly of Elk City, Nebraska. Burial was in the Elk City Cemetery.

She* is survived by a son, Ronald of Castle Rock, Washington; a daughter, Clarice Philpot of Omaha; three grandchildren; six great-grandchildren and a sister, Consuella Morris of Blair.

Note: The newspaper made an error--Clare is a man's name, and he was buried next to his wife, Helen. Birth date from his Social Security record; wife's name, and the fact that he was a man from the 1940 US Census
