Obituary Real Santa Claus Dies, Lived Up to His Name Marshall, Mo. -Santa Claus is dead. The 63-year-old retired Church of God minister who was named for the Christmas saint died at his home here yesterday of a kidney ailment. Claus never did know why his parents gave him the name of Santa, unless it was his father's sense of humor. But through the years, many of them lean ones, he tried to live up to the name.

He received thousands of letters every year from all parts of the world. Claus took great pains in answering all of them. Sometimes, when the load became too great, he received help in providing the postage. Sometimes he still had a large stack of letters to answer many months after Christmas. His mail volume would reach 6,000 at Christmas time.

He was proud of his scrapbooks full of such letters. In addition to serving as a minister, Claus was a plumber. Once he worked on WPA. He and his first wife had seven children. Claus was smooth shaven, but once he did grow a beard to make his appearance more in character.

He spent most of his life around Marshall, except for two years when he lived in Ottumwa, Iowa. "I never could find out why my father named me Santa," Claus once explained. "But it's a good name, even if it is a lot of trouble." By "trouble" Claus mentioned such things as getting checks cashed. Once an expressman refused deliver a basket of fruit from California because "there ain't no Santa Claus." Arthur B. Hancock 81, Kentucky Horse Breeder Paris, Ky.
