son OF Mrs. Hannah Stafanson who pass
ed away on Sunday evening, March ~, at
her home two and a half miles northwest
OF klron. at the age of 70 years, 3 months
and 20 days. Her illness was very brief
many " uOA oC4udlutduCeS not even learn
ing of her illness until the news spread of
her death. She was born in Frando Ma
lima. Sweden. in the year 1924, and mar
ried to John Mortenson in the year 1845
Their union was blessed with ten children
Of which four died in Sweden and one in
this country. Four children survive her,
all residing in this locality three sons,
Nels John c., l. Lindstrom, Andrew Nor
benson, and one daughter. the wife of Mr..
Andrew Nelson. Several years ago she
was called upon to bury her husband. In
the year 1850 she remarked and became
the wife of A. Staffenson, who survives
her. The funeral occurred on Wednes-
day afternoon, and in spite of the disagree
able weather quite a few gathered to pay
their last honors to their departed friend
and neighbor. The service was held at
thu Lutheran church of which she was a
member, conducted by Rev A. Benan-
der. after which her remains we're laid to
rest. Thus one more has been added to
the throng that has passed on before from
this locality. and which has caused the
question to arise (Which one of our
neighbors and friends will be the next to
obey the summons to pass over to the
other side.'
