truly appropriate, and treated in
mastery manner. A ladies' quar-
tet sang a song at the church.
Lena Hoverly was born in Svarvick,
Norway, Aug. 16, 1861. At the age
Of 10 she came to America with
her parents, who settled in Kandi-
yohi county. In 1883 she was mar
ried to Ole Hoverly, who took his
bride to his farm home beautifully
located on the south shore of Green
Lake. Here she lived and died.
Sevel children came to bless their
home. The three oldest, two girls
and boy, died some years ago.
Being deeply devoted to her chill
dren, these several hard blows were
the great sorrow Of her latter years.
But she is now happy with her
loved ones in heaven, awaiting the
coming of those still in the world
Of sorrow. The good woman leaves
to mourn her loss her grief stricken
husband and four children-Lillian,
William, Henry and Austin; a
brother, L. z. Thompson; and two
sisters, Mrs. Anthony Sands and
Mrs. Sivert Olson. The sincere
sympathy Of the whole community
goes out to the bereaved family.

val of the Swedish Lutheran Saron
