A GOOD CITIZEN DIES
Iiagnus SJoblom, a Progressive and
Respected Resident of Prince
ton, is Called Beyond.
Impressive Services Held in Conore=
gationaf Church and Remains
Inferred at Oak Knoll.

1t is with q feeling Of heartfelt
regret that we are called upon to
chronicle the death of one of Prince
tons most ral-hearted and pro-
gressive citizens. That man is
Magnus Sjoblom, who, at 80 O'Clock,
on Monday morning, at the North
western hospital, passed away in
peaceful sleep. Mr.. Sjoblon was
taken i'll with acute appendicitis on
Monday, December 6, and DR.. II. c.
Cooney, who was called, advised a
prompt removal of the appendix at
the expiration of the first twenty-four
hours, as is his invariable rule il this
most treacherous disease. Unfortu-
nately the operation was refused until
eight days later, when the appendix
abscess was drained. Blood poison
ing from absorption Of pus however
progressed in spite Of every effort
known to medical sceince to prevent it
and in the end caused his death.
Throughout his long illness his de-
voted wife remained constantly at his
bedside and buoyed up his spirit with
hope. She was untiring-althCugha at
last on the verge Of collapse from
fatigue-in her efforts to administer
comfort TO her husband.
Funeral services we're held yesterday
afternoon in the Congregational
church at O'Clock and the edifce
was filled to it's utmost capacity. Rev.
Lundquist Of the Swedish Lutheran
church and Rev. Fisher Of the Con-
gregatiOnal church conducted the
solemn rites IN the Swedish and Eng
lish languages, and each OF them paid
a deserving tribute to the worth of the
good man who had been called to his
reward. Three beautiful selections
were rendered by a double quartet
consisting of Nessrs. Kopp, G. and c.
UmbehOcker aud Mcmillan. and Mrs.
Cooney, Mrs. Mcmillan, Miss Rita
Byers and Miss Aimee WOOdcOck.
The services throughout were impress
