Mrs. August C. Anderson, wife OF A.
Anderson, died at her home in Sioux
City on Friday, Sept. 3, 1897. OF con-
Mrs. Anderson was
OF John johnson OF this town
ship, and was born in Chicago on Jan.
II, 1874. Her parents moved to Union
county when she was two years old,
and she grew to womanhood in this
She was married to A.
Anderson OF Sioux City about four
wears ago. The union was blessed
With two children, one OF which was
buried here short time ago, the other
with the husband surviving. Mrs. An
derson was a robust woman when she
left here to become the head OF home |
Of her own, but that dread disease, con-
sumption, got hold on her system,
and those who took look at the wasted
form in the casket could not see any
resemblance to the girl who left here a
few years ago. Besides the husband
and little child who have lost their
greatest earthly treasure, she is mourn
ed by a father, Mr.. johnson, five broth
ers and two sisters, all living In this
township. She was christened In the
Lutheran church and received the
benefit of Its teachings. Funeral SER
vices were held at Sioux City Satur-
day. conducted by o. w. FERN, and the
remains brought here, where further
services were held Sunday at the Union
Greek church at 3 o'clock p. m. The
services were conducted by Mr.. Tulin,
Undertaken johnson of Akron, direct
or. The interment was in the church
yard. The pall-bearers we're Messrs.
J.. Anderson, J. Perfect, A. johnson
and G. Carlson, OF Sioux City; VIM.
Anderson Of Akron, and Noah Swan
son Of Sphinx. An unusual large num-
her Of people were in attendance, COM
Ing from Sioux City, Akron and the
surrounding country. The church
building was crowded, and enough peo-
Pile wore outside to fill the room again,
showing the high esteem in which de-
ceased and her family are held by their
acquaintances. While we all must die,
II seems indeed sad that young moth
or should be taken from her husband
and babe. and our heartfelt sympathy
goes out to this young man and the lit
tie babe left to his care and trust. He
who doeth all things we'll will help him
bear his sorrow, for it will be but q
moment when he too will be called.
