Lutheran Church in Ulm, Ark.,
where he was a faithful,
active member until his failing
health, holding many officies for many years, his favorite
being Sunday school
superintendent. He was the last of the
six
1949 graduates of Ulm High School. William also served
in the U.S. Army.
In
addition to his parents, Williams was preceded in death by
his oldest daughter,
Cindy Hosto Prislovsky; his first great-
grandson,
Fisher Prislovsky; his two sisters, Alberta Hosto
Eubank and Deborah Hosto;
and his brother, Eugene Hosto.

William
and Martha farmed the family farm for many years.
One of his proudest moments was when the
Secretary of
Agriculture presented the William Hosto family
as owners
and operators of the
Hosto family farm for over 100 years.
After retiring from farming in1986, William
and Martha
purchased the former
McCollum Hardware Store in Stuttgart,
Ark.
They both worked in the store for 34 years and retired in
March 2020 when they closed
the store.
He
was a charter member of the Ulm Civic Club, enjoyed
camping with the Good
Sam Mallard Club, traveling and
most of all, going to
the duck woods.
In
lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorials be made to
the Ulm Civic Club
Scholarship fund or the Zion Lutheran
Cemetery Fund.
Visitation
was 9-11 a.m.
Thursday, April 15, at Zion
Lutheran Church in Ulm.
Funeral service was at 11:30 a.m.

Though He's gone, He is not forgotten.
Though absent, He remains in spirit.
Though once a worker, He now rests.
