Rehder, Goodhue county probate judge, it was announced today.
Although the estate originally grossed $100,000, that amount was cut down to a net of $54,655.57, as a result of expenses incurred by appealing the case to the state Supreme Court and fees paid to attorneys.
Of the $54,655.57 net estate Anna Hoff received $42,155.57.

Her family and hosts of friends turned out over the week-end to pay homage to Mrs. Sarah (“Gram”) Jones on her 95th birthday.
Her birth date is Feb. 27, but her birthday party took place in three parts---Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with a cake on each day.
Five generations were represented at the birthday celebrations, and a picture was taken of Mrs. Jones, daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter and great-great granddaughter.
Mrs. Jones has three daughters, Mrs. French, Mrs. W.P. Theisen of Zumbro Falls and Mrs. Nile Redding of Rochester. She also has one sister, Mrs. Georgia Duncan of Mazeppa. There are 16 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.

JAMES CARLONS’, PATSY KILLED IN AUTO CRASH;
COMBINES FUNERAL SERVICES HERE THURSDAY 

It was a stunned community that learned of the tragic deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Carlon and their 16 year-old daughter, Patsy, following a head-on collision near Martin, S.D., early Saturday morning on US. Highway 18.
Mr. Carlon and his daughter were killed in the collision, and Mrs. Carlon died early Monday morning at a hospital.
A second daughter, Judy 8, was not injured seriously. However, Mrs. Albert Betcher of Zumbro Falls, a former Mazeppa resident, was seriously injured after being pinned under the car for several hours. Judy was found wandering around, apparently looking for help. She suffered a broken arm, had lost her shoes and was suffering from exposure.

*******CARLON OBITUARIES IN THIS NEWSPAPER*****

Creamery Building Here Remodeled
In compliance with state laws passed in 1948, Mazeppa Farmers’ Cooperative Dairy Association has completed an extensive remodeling operation begun this winter.
The lower floor of the building has been separated into three rooms facing the street which include from east to west, receiving room, processing room and hallway leading in office. Separating the receiving room from the processing is a partition made of glazed ceramic tile including glass blocks which give equal light to both sides.
The old entrance has been closed and a new installed farther west on the building and this leads into a hallway adjoin office and processing room.
Perhaps the biggest job was in moving all plumbing and pasteurizers, plus the installation of a new heating system for the office. The latter also received an improvement by the addition of a roomy clothes locker.
The cooperative had an excellent year for 1953 with total sales of $607,000. Butter manufactured was 643,000 pounds.

JUSTICE COURT NOTES
Lloyd Moldenbauer, driver for Haustien Transfer Company appeared last Thursday, before Justice of the Peace, Richard Hammes and on two overloading weights, wrong registration and wrong license plates, paid fines of $30.00 and costs. The two latter with fines of $10.00 on each count, were suspended. Charges were brought by the State Highway Patrol.

RED CROSS REPORT
