(Bert) McClanahan at Phoenix, Arizona, where he has been located the past six months with the hope that the genial climate would make possible the restoration of his falling health.

The body is expected to arrive at Winchester Saturday night, but no definite plans can be announced for the funeral. Bert McClanahan who was in his 33rd year, the second son of S.A McClanahan, deceased, and was born and raised in Liberty township.
