Caleb Engstrom. aged % years, and
8 months, youngest son of Mr.. aud
Mrs. q. f: EngstIom. OF III, 7th street
southwest, died Sunday morning at
IL AS, of typhoid fever, after An illness
Of three weeks. r
This announcement Is made with
sad and heavy heart. In Caleb we
have lost one of our boys. He became
al. employee of The Herald at the age
Of IL years, and grew to manhood IN
our employ. BY faithful and thorough
work and attention to duty, he from
the beginning earned the confidence
reposed IN him. Four years ago he
was put in charge of the mechanical
department, and reallzed all expecta-
.tions. He became a1<skilled printer,
and was one of the best job compost
tors we have ever known. Caleb was
always loyal and true, had every
quality OF splendid manhood, and to
lose him on the very threshold of
promise is a heavy blow to those who
loved and liked him. He was good
son, his devotion to his parents being
something beautiful to contemplate.
His sunny disposition made him a
general favor1te, and his Herald CO.
workers will long miss ''Kay's'' gen.
ial personality. We are sorry. very
sorry, and wish we could give him
a better tribute than these few words.
He deserved the best that can be said.
The disease was so severe and took
such grip on Caleb from the begin
ming that he had but few conscious
hours, but shortly before his death he
was able to recognize the family and
bid them goodbye with shake OF
the hand, but was unable to speak. ex-
cept to say mother" twice. All the
family were at the bedside but two
brothers, Carl and William, who could
not reach here till Monday noon.
The funeral was held from the Swed-
ish Lutheran church on Broadway
west. Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o.
clock, after brief services at the house.
Rev. o. b. Nelson ofticiated. The
pail bearers were five brothers of the
deceased and p. j. Vasaly of The Her.
aid.
The floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful, including that from his
CO workers of the Herald.
Besides his parents, there are left to
mourn his sister, Ellen !. and five
brothers, Martin and David Of Little
Falls, Joseph of St. Paul, Carl of
Marseiiles, ILL.,, and William Lyon OF
Cedar Rapids, la.
The deepest sympathy of all who
knew Caleb goes ont to the .heEeaved
family, especially to the old mother to
whom he was so devoted, and whose
consolation is that In talrer land she
will meet the boy who was always
good to his mother. We think there
can be no better tribute than that to
his memory.
Mr.. and MES. Chas. Britt of Cn1-
cago, Charles Aim of Ames, Ia, rela-
tives, and Chas E. Vasaly of st. Paul
were also IN attendance at the funeral.
