accident, by which she will probably
lose the sight of her right eye. While
holding a heated curling iron to her

the sight of the eye entirely.

Burial.

John Lindstrom who has been near
deaths door so long finally passed
through them last Friday and Sunday
followed by the M. w. A. Lodge and a
large delegation of friends was laid to
rest in the Maple Grove Cemetery.
He was born in Denmark but a
ago hearing of the possibilities in this
great free country came here to seek
his fortune. During the past year he
has been in the mill here until he
could no longer go and had to take his
bed. The local lodge of the M. w. A.
then took charge of him and the
wonderful fraternal feeling has been
seen in their care for him. He has
wanted for nothing and they true to
their pledge around the camp fires of
their forests have cared for him when
he needed it. He was like many other
men in the world. Has not been able
to lay aside much for his loved ones
when death should call him hence.
But unlike many poor man he has
provided a way so that those he leaves
may never know want. He leaves
$1,000 life insurance in the NJ. w. A.
that will take them we'll along until
all a earn their w living. No
stronger plea for this man in less than
modest means to protect his family
need be cited than this. Death stands
knocking at every door and may enter
at any time. The home lodge we I'M
derstand faithfully kept up his in
surance during the time of his sickness
and will ever have a grateful place in
the heart of the widow and mother.
