We extend our sympathy to the family of Harold Erlien, 96, of Benedict and Max. Harold passed away in a Minot nursing home. You may remember him for his big smile as he walked in Max or sat on the Main Street benches.

This coming Sunday, September 26th there will be a noon potluck at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Max to honor Erna Hauf on her 96th birthday. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The funeral for Elmer Dvirnak, 94, of Killdeer was held on Tuesday afternoon.
