Wilson Tahmahkera

Services for Wilson Tahmahkera, 55, a Walters farmer who died at 4:45 a.m. Saturday in a local hospital, were at 10 a.m. Monday in the Comanche Dutch Reformed Church.

Rev. Robert Chaat, pastor officiated. Burial was in the Comanche section of Highland cemetery under direction of Becker Funeral home.

Bearers were Bruce Tomah, Mose Poolaw, Frank Mejia, Rev. Dan Grummon, George Kisheton and Lawrence Tomah Jr., all of Walters.

Note: Saturday was Feb 11, 1961 (this date conflicts with his headstone which reads Feb 16, 1961. Obviously his obituary could not be published before he actually died, so the date on his headstone is in error).
