HANS HOSETH DIES
IN Wang TOWNSHIP
PROMINENT FARMER.CARPEN-
TER PASSES AWAY AFTER A
WEEKS ILLNESS FROM PNEU-
MONIA,

Hans Hoseth, aged AZ years, q
prominent farmer living in Wang
township, about Is miles southwest Of
Minot, passed to his reward last
Thursday after a weeks illness from
pneumonia.
Mr.. Hoseth contracted severe cold
on Thanksgiving day, having been en-
ployed at carpenter work at the John
Engleson home the day before. His
attack was SO sudden and severe that
from the very beginning, no hopes
We're given for his recovery and Mr..
Hoseth himself realized that he had
but short time to live. Everything
that loving hands could do was done
for him, but to no avail.
The funeral was held from the home
at IL o'clock Monday and at 2 o'clock
from the Rose Valley church, thirty
rigs forming the funeral procession
to the cemetery. A most comforting
sermon was preached by Rev. O. S.
Varud, the local pastor. The floral
tributes were very beautiful, the Rose
Valley Ladies' Aid contributing a
token, and other friends gave many
flowers as well.
A brother of the deceased, Ben Ho-
seth, of Palermo, who was notified by
wire Of his brothers illness, arrived
and spent the last few hours with Mr..
Hoseth.
The pail bearers were Jacob Ender-
son, Albert Peterson, Albert Mork,
John Engelson, T. Taxdahl, A. E. Jor-
dahl
Hans Hoseth, was born at Trond-
hjem, Norway, AZ years ago and i'm
migrated to this country in 1900, liv-
ing at Bryant, Clark county, S. D., un-
til 1905, when he came to Ward coun-
ty, filing on a homestead near Grel-
land, where he resided until the day
of his death. He was prominent
farmer and faithful member of the
Rose Valley church, being one Of the
pillars Of the organization. i
He was carpenter by trade and
built many of the structures in that
section of the country. Just few
days before he was taken ill, he COM
pleted the fine Norwegian church
south Of brady. #
He leaves wife and FIVE children,
Louis, age 18; Andrew and Elizabeth,
twins, age Is years, and Helen and
Ragna, twins, age three years, besides
his brother, Ben, of Palermo. His
father and mother and three brothers
and sisters reside in Norway.
The sympathy Of the entire COM
munity goes out to the bereaved men,
bers of the family. 4. Nv rsH,.oe 4 e.
