We are saddened to print the obituaries of two Roscoe business persons who we worked with during our years at Gibson Publishing.

We worked with Bernice Hettick while she was at Roscoe Hardware and with John Beyers at First State Bank of Roscoe. We were honored to know them both. Our condolences to their families.

They were both community boosters and were interested in school activities. Particularly those who were members of their extended families! I’m sure that when they could, they enjoyed following those teams.

Speaking of sports teams, this is the week for the Girls State B and next weekend the Boys State B action will follow.

Good Luck to our area teams still in contention — Class B, A or AA. They can always use that luck when they run across teams from the southern part of the state.
