Walkinshaw Family - John Adam Walkinshaw - Obituary

From the Daily Chronicle, Thursday, Oct. 20, 1960 page 10. I do not remember when I received this or from whom. It might have been in Helen's items that we gathered after she passed away. Centralia is in Lewis County, Washington State. I created a web entry in FindAGrave, 7 May 2009. This obituary reads:
