Anna Dahlberg Parsons.
184O==1oO3,

MlS' Alllld dISOIlS ulSQ VSIy Suu-
denly at her home in this city
Thursday, June Is, 1908, at IL a.
m, after an illness of only two
hours. Heart failure was the cause
but the friends had not been aware
that she was afflicted with heart
disease, as she had not complained
of pain previous to her fatal attack.
At the time of her death none of
the children were at home except
Alice. She had returned from her
school for the vacation about a
week before. Herman was in st.
Paul and Emily was visiting for a
few days at Bayfield, before return
ing home from her school at Calu-
met, Michigan.
The deceased, whose maiden
name was Anna Dahlberg, was born
Nov. 3, 1910, in the district of
Sloane, Sweden. She came to Amer
lea with her mother, brother and
sister in 1866. October %, 1871,
she was married to Andrew Parsons
at Red Wing, Mimi. The same
year in company with her husband
she came to this city, which had
since been her continuous residence.
Four children were born to them.
One, daughter, Helma, died at the
age of six years. After nearly ten
years of happy married life her hus-
band died and she was left a widow
with three children of which the son,
Herman, six years of age, was the
oldest-and two daughters, Emily
and Alice, who survive. These
children she brought up with assid-
uous care, succeeded in giving them
good education and saw them
established in life with the chara-
ter, ability and equipment to sue
coed. Mrs. Parsons was the first of
a family of five children to answer
the final summons. A brother,
Sven Dahlberg, of Moline, ILL.,, a
half brother, j. c. Pfeiffer and a
sister, Mrs. C. Youngquist of Red
Wing and a sister living in the old
country survive.
The deceased was baptized and
confirmed in the Lutheran church
and was a member of the English
Lutheran church in this city at the
time of her death. Mrs. Parsons
was consistent in her life as Chris
tian woman. She was good wife
and mother, tenderly beloved by
her children to whom her death is a
most grievous loss. AS neighbor
she was respected and cherished in
close friendship and by all who
knew her she will be missed and
mourned.
Funeral services Sunday after
noon were conducted in the home,
at the M. E. church and at the grave
in Greenwood cemetery, Rev. ]. J..
Clemens officiating, assisted in
commemorative address by Rev. T.
]. Snodgrass. (The deceased was
an aunt of Mrs. C1emens.)
Among those who attended the
funeral from out of the city were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Pfeiffer of Red Wing
and their son, Prof. H. j. Pfeiffer
of Hen derson, Mimi, Mrs. G.
Youngquist and daughter Elida of
Red Wing and Mrs c. A. Erickson
of St. Paul.

The Natchez Democrat asks why it
would not be a good idea to exempt

that could be done. By all means let

Daniel J. Sully, the great cotton
speculator, attributes q part OF the
shortage of the present crop to the
sterilization Of the seed. He
claims and tries to prove by stats
tics that the cotton seed mills demand
the very best seed, and the planters
have nothing to show but the worst
quality with the consequence that the
crop il materially shortened. On
this theory fertilization would appear
to have but small influence on the

Though there was some war news. the
speculative and cash inquiry for wheat

and anxious to ease their lines. In this
they were not discouraged by the longs,
who saw in the downward movement a
chance to buy at lower figures. Heavy
