5 - An obituary for "Weert Asche" that appears in the November 14, 1961, issue of the Mason City Globe-Gazette indicates that he died the previous Sunday (November 12th, 1961), with burial to take place at the Ramsey Cemetery.
12 - Seiler is written on the right of Miss Dawn Beenken's name to denote her marriage to Herbert ‘Herb’ Seiler. The April 17, 1962, issue of The Algona Upper Des Moines newspaper states that the couple was married on April 7, 1962, and that they will make their home in Ypsilanti, Michigan. A similar Seiler marriage announcement is included within the April 19, 1962, issue of the Kossuth County Advance newspaper. The April 25, 2008, issue of The Mason City Globe-Gazette newspaper includes a obituary for Herbert “Herb” Seiler; however, it incorrectly lists a marriage date of 1968.
74 - Rev. John E. Janssen served as pastor from June, 1961, to October, 1982.
