To this union children were born,

Mrs. Madsen was a devout Christian
and was instrumental in getting a

few settlers who were scattered over
miles of territory in latter years,
and now when several large congre-
cations are established in different
sections around here her dreams of
the future have been realized and her
spirit has passed hence where pain
and sorrow are no more. She was an
atfectionate wife, a loving mother,
kind neighbor and the needy were
never turned from her door. The
funeral was held from the church in
Elk Horn Tuesday afternoon, Rev.
Gregersen conducting the services,
after which the remains were borne
to the nearby cemetery and gently
lowered to their last resting place by
the side of a child who had gone
before.
