Leona Gullickson Guttormson, 97, passed away July
3rd. Leona lived in Max before moving to Minot. She lived in the house on Main
Street that had a beautiful lace doily hanging in its window! She did a lot of
memorable crafts, including crocheting doilies with a family name on them. Her
funeral was Monday at Concordia Lutheran Church in Benedict. We extend our
sincere sympathy to Leona's family.
52 year old Mike Walz, formerly of Max, passed
away in his Williston home on July 3rd. Mike's parents were Martin and Twila
Walz. Many knew Mike and his parents and many know his brothers and sisters
that are living. His funeral was held in Williston on Monday and the interment
of his cremated remains will take place at a later date in Max. We express our
sincere sympathy to Mike's family.
