The Ellefson school house has been the
scene OF two sad ceremonies lately with
only an interval of two weeks between
them. The first was the funeral service
held over the remains OF H. Harder's
infant son, George, on March IL. The
little one was not quite six weeks old at
the time of his death. The service was
conducted in German, and listened to
with rapt attention by the friends OF
the family, who filled the school house
Mr.. Harder is a honest and Industrious
citizen, and deserves all the sympathy
shown him.
The sympathy felt by the community
for the family OF JAS Ellefson who have
sustained the loss OF the youngest child,
Albert Henry, age six months, was
shown by the large number attending
the funeral. The services was held in
the school house at two O'Clock last
Tuesday. The minister was the Rev,
Robertson, Of Langdon, who preached a
most eloquent and touching sermon.
The hymns chosen to commemorate the
sad event were, 'Nearer My God to
Thee" Reckoning Hands," and "Where
Will You Spend Eternity" A procession
was formed and headed for the grave
yard. 1t passed the home which but a
few days ago was gladdened by the
innocent glee OF the child, and the
thought struck home to the hearts OF
the mourners that they could never,
with mortal ear, hear his voice again
bis spirit had responded to the call OF
his Maker and the appropriate hymn
"1 can Hear my Savior Calling" was
sung as the remains were lowered to
their last resting place.
