of space prevents a review in this issue
of the work done so far.

CARL. FREEBERG

An old and well known citizen Of Will
mar passed away last Thursday evening
at $40 o'clock, when Charles Freeberg
lay down the staff of life. following a
stroke of apoplexy which left him in
an unconscious condition at 1890 in the
morning of the same day.
Carl Freeberg was born in Norrbo
parish, Halsingland, Sweden, Sept. l.,
1S46. He became cabinet-maker, which
trade he followed in his native land. He
was married to Miss Christine Holm
berg in 1868, who survives him. The
family arrived in willmar June %. 1882,
and have made their home here ever
since. Three children were born to
them, one of which died in infancy Two
sons, Peter and Carl j., both well known
residents of Willmar, and families,
mourn the death of their father. The
sorrowing ones have the sympathy Of
many friends in their bereavement.
The funeral occurred Monday after
noon from the family residence on Sec
ond street. Rev. Gustaf Peterson con-
Quoted the services. The following were
the pail bearers: H. S. Shipstead, John
Nelson, Frank Head, Erick Nelson, K.
T. Otos and L. j. Erickson The inter-
ment took place at the Fairview ceme-
terry.
The deceased was one of the rugged
type endowed in youth with great
physical strength. He was a man Of
strong character and very active for the
right as he saw it. During the period
when the license fight waxed hottest at
Willmar, the deceased never failed to
actively take part when many others
became faint-hearted in the annual
struggle. Peace to his ashes and long
may his memory linger with those whom
he associated with on earth!
