Funeral Home
Purchased by
Bahnmillers
Lockwood Funeral Home has
been purchased by a former
Manchester couple, and transfer
of ownership is to become effective Saturday, Francis Lock-
wood announced today.
The Funeral Home, which has
been jointly owned by Francis
and Alice Lockwood since August 5, 1940, has been sold to
Mr. and Mrs. Gerald O. Bahn-
miller, who moved into the residence there Wednesday.
Bahnmiller has been employed by the Muehlig Funeral
Home, in Ann Arbor, for the
past 14 years; he is a graduate
of Wayne State university Mortuary Science School. Both he
and his wife, Mildred, were
raised in Manchester and graduated from Manchester High
School. His parents still make
their home there. .The couple
have no children.
The decision to sell the Funeral Home is the result of a
long-standing back ailment that
makes lifting difficult, Lock-
wood said. His plans for future
employment are -indefinite, he
said.
The Lockwoods will continue
to make their home at 450 Linden Ct. in Saline, but they expect to begin a three-weeks vacation about July 8.
The name of the establishment will be changed to Bahnmiller Funeral Home, but the
telephone number now listed
will stay with the
Lockwood said.
Saline Development Corp.
Elects Board of Directors
Twenty-three Saline Girl Scouts last week returned tired
and happy, after a memorable three-day camp at Cedar Lake.
They were members of Troop 279, with Mrs. Milton Sackett,
Mrs. Ken Volz, and Mrs. Joe Bondie; and Troop 128 with
Mrs. Milton Johnson, Mrs. Walfred Larson, and Mrs. Hugh
Austin. Weeks of preparation, including planning, packing,
and physical examinations, preceded the jaunt — and sometimes it even took planning to plan the planning.
Finally, the caravan arrived at the campsite, near Chelsea, with aTJ-Haul, donated by Harry's Standard Service,
loaded down with food, sleeping bags, duffle bags, and mosquito spray. After three days of cooking out, swimming,
splashing, hiking, and nature study, the girls returned Wednesday.
All ready to set out (top, left), Mrs. Milton Sackett,
Beverly Parsons, Sharon Sackett, and Mrs. Harry Parsons
rest briefly in the midst of loading up. At right, the clan
gathers to assign transportation: (seated in front) Diana
Johnson, Jan Austin, Christie Townsend, and Linda Johnson, (second row) Dianne McDowell, Karen Sharkey, Gin-

thought there might be others
in and around Saline who would
like to do the same.

City Lists No
New Voter
Registrations
The deadline came and went
Monday for voter registration
before the July 25 primary election for Constitution Convention delegates — without any
new registrations in Saline.
No new voters have registered here for about a month,
City Clerk E. J. Muir said, and
not more than 10 have been
added to the electors' roster
since December.
But the-lack of new registrations here probably doesn't indicate lack of interest as much
as lack of newcomers, Muir
pointed out. With 1300 persons
already registered, in a total
population of about 2500, nearly
all eligible adults are believed
to be already signed up. "If nobody new moves in, who is there
to register?" said Muir.

Thieves Help

From Register
Customers in Marty's Restaurant Friday noon were startled
to see a pair of strangers open
the cash register, help themselves, and walk out.
The two men, both described
as dark complected, entered the
restaurant just before the noon
rush, and one went to the counter to order doughnuts and coffee to take out, the owner, Marty Hemenway, said. While he
was being served, the other opened a little door in the back
of the register and tripped a
lever that opened the drawer,
and removed a handful of bills.
Hemenway estimated that the
amount taken was $20 or $25.
