Marvin Steenhoven was laid to rest Friday, July 8th at the Zion Lutheran Church in Adrian with Pastor Kerry Boese officiating. Marv was a long time business man in Adrian, operating Steenhoven Ford. Marv’s son built his Father’s coffin which was covered with a huge American flag as Marv served our country in the Army. Marv’s son also sang and played his guitar at the services. Marv and his second wife Mary lived in Adrian for many years after his retirement. The many guests enjoyed cake and coffee, served by the Lutheran ladies after the church services. Marv will be buried at the Minnesota State Veteran’s Cemetery in Preston, MN with full military honors. Blessed be the memory of Marvin Steenhoven.
What a great rain! Did you remember to thank God? It’s never too late!
Dawg Days of Summer! Much has been written and spoken about that wonderful display in Adrian July 2nd across from our beautiful Legion Club. This writer spoke to Kevin Sonka , the father of David Sonka who was killed along with his beautiful dog “Flex.” It was a tearful display set up in the mobile unit and the sight of dozens of boots lining the pavers outside the Legion center was indescribable. Thanks Curt Hendel and crew for all your work planning and bringing in this display to Adrian!

The community of Adrian was shocked to hear of the sudden death of well known and respected Henry Hanson of rural Adrian. Henry was known for his beautiful racing horses and his work with the Rural Electric Associations and chairman for many years.
The last “Two Buck” meal was provided by Virgil and Alice Cook. It was a great meal and enjoyed by 25 folks.
What a show of respect to see the large flag, flown at half mast at the Kum & Go in Adrian. What a tragedy for Texas to try to overcome. The incident in Minnesota is just a few blocks from the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. This writer has been in that area many times over the last 20 years or so.
Lots of family reunions last weekend. If you want your celebration mentioned in this column, call Kay Cox at 483-2718 or the Review at 483-2213.
