Norval Hug, who had operated the farm equipment service business in Loyal since 1946, and latterly was a real estate salesman, died in his home about 11:30 p.m. November 21.  Authorities said that death resulted from a gunshot wound. They said he had taken his own life.  He had been in poor health recently.

The body was taken to Sunset Memorial Park, Minneapolis, for cremation.
