An Old Pioneer Passes Away.

Andrew L. Kittelsby died at his
home in Calmar. Wednesday, June 3.
1908, at the age of rs years and six
months.
Mr.. Kittelsby was born in Ringe-
rike, Norway. and emigrated to the
United States in 1851, coming direct
to the vicinity of what is now CAL
mar, where he located and where he
has since resided. He was at the time
of his death the only resident survivor
of the pioneer settlers who came here
that year Mr.. Kittelsby is therefore
entitled to the distinction of a pio-
ueer, which he was in the fullest
sense, having taken an active part in
the work Of pioneer. During the
greter part of his residence here he
was actively interested in the affairs
of his town and county in matters
political and municipal, having serv-
ed the people in the highest official
positions the town can bestow. and
especially was he interested in the
schools and in his church, the latter
claiming much of his attention and
affections.
Mr.. Kittelsby was married in 1859
to Miss Marie Anderson who died in
1892. They had nine children eight
of whom are living and all but the
youngest SON who is too far away
were here during the fathers last ILL.,
ness. The funeral will take place on
Saturday at o'clock, Rev. Koren
officiating.
The deceased was man of sterling
qualities whose splendid character
was manifested in his daily life, in his
home and when in contact with the
outer world, always exercising splen-
did Judgment and righteousness at all
times. The many friends of the de.
ceased and family sympathize deeply
with the bereaved. -Calmar Courier.

rectly home while others will return

Although the meeting of the Nor.
wegisn Synod in Chicago at the time

among many strangers and fine must
clans where they will acquit them
selves with credit and the reputation
OF Luther College will be extended
far and wide.
