Dusty

Selbu Lutheran Church was packed last Saturday with relatives, friends and neighbors showing their respect for local farmer Jim Emerson who died March 24.

Emerson was born, raised and, except for his time spent serving his country in the U.S. Army, spent almost his entire life on the family farm.

He and his wife Ann had moved to Hill Ray in Colfax.

Besides his wife, Jim is also survived by sons Bob and Bill, daughter Heidi and their families and a sister, June Dittmer.

Karen Light and children Joanne, Emmaly and Joshua, Portland, arrived at the home of her parents, David and Phyllis Stueckle, Saturday and returned home Sunday.

Granddaughters Ann Marie and Ashleigh Stueckle of Coeur d’Alene also arrived Saturday.

They had come to attend funeral services for their uncle/great-uncle Jim Emerson.

Vic and Lois Ping, Walla Walla, attended a family get together at the home of Don and Marie Ping in LaCrosse Sunday.

Vic’s nephew Steve was home for a visit from his posting in China.

On their way home, Vic and Lois stopped in at the homes of Karen Broeckel and Keith and Leilia Zaring for short visits.
