Rock County Burial Assn. Re-Elects Four Directors
Encouraging Reports on Past Year’s Business Submitted at Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Four directors were each re-elected for two years at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Rock County Co-Operative Burial association, held Saturday afternoon at the Luverne Commercial club rooms. They are Wm. J. Vander Haar, of Clinton township; Thos. Vandezan, of Luverne township; Wm. Heckt, of this city, and J. N. Jacobson, of Hills.
The directing board will meet at a later date to name officers for the coming year. At present Mr. Vander Haar is president; Mr. Vandezan, secretary, and Mr. Heckt, treasurer.
Encouraging reports were submitted by the secretary and treasurer and by Manager Lloyd Johnson, disclosing that during the past year the association had not only handled a larger volume of business than usual, but it was also in very good financial condition. Improved collections were shown to have placed the finances of the organization on a firmer and more substantial footing.
The burial association maintains an undertaking parlor and funeral chapel on West Main street, and in the same building there are maintained home accommodations for the undertaker and his family.
Donations to the Rock County Historical Society can be sent to the Rock County Historical Society, 312 E. Main Street, Luverne, MN 56156.
