ROLAND C. DEWEY (This was sent in by his daughter)
He was resident of Lakeview Health Center in West Salem, Wisconsin and died there. No one was notified that he died! His brother received something from a company to preserve his obituary write up and that was the "first" anyone knew that he died! The whole funeral, burial and all had been done in West Salem. My father had a plot already in Two Rivers and my Aunt and Uncle (his brother and sister-in-law) wanted him in Two Rivers with the family....so, they had investigated how they could go about having him transferred. That is the reason for the October date there in Two Rivers, where they later held a church service at St. Marks for him. My mother and father had been divorced for many years. ___________ Memorial Obituary Entered Into Eternal Rest April 13, 1990 Roland C. Dewey Roland C.
