RESOLUTIONS.

WHEREAS it has pleased our Heav-
emily Father to call from this earthly
life Anton J. Lundquist, a student in
last years Junior class of Gustavus
Adolphus College, the faculty of the
college wishes to express to the be-
reaved family it's most sincere sym.
pathy in this it's hour of bitter trial.
We mourn in Anton Lundquist a
good and conscientious student, al
ways interested in college activities
and friend of the institution. He
will be missed at our college when the
next school year opens. The members
Of the faculty, his classmates and
friends will feel his loss keenly. We
all regret that such a young life
should be taken away from us, life
which might, as far as we can see
have been of great service for many
years to come.
We hope and pray that the Lord
will console you in this great bereave
ment and grant you, according to His
promise, strength to bear this heavy
loss and to submit humbly to His
holy will-for the paths of the Lord
are loving kindness and truth

wIIIMAR MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY JULY l. 1914
s'TvARv
ANTON ]. LUNDQUIST.

A pail of sadness settled over the
community last Thursday, when it be-
came generally known that Anton ].
Lundquist, the bright young son of
Mr.. and Mrs. August Lundquist of
Tripolis, had succumbed on Wednes-
day to an attack of typhoid fever, af-
ter only few days illness. e
Anton Lundquist was born on a
farm at Tripolis, and was twenty
years old Feb. 18th. He attended
school at Kandiyohi until he finished
the seventh grade, then came to Will
mar and for five years made his home
with his aunt, Mrs. VIM. Thompson,
graduating from both the eighth grade
and the high school here. He was
one of the class of 1912. He was &C.
tive in athletics while here and was a
general favorite. For the past three
years he has been attending school at
Custavus Adolphus College at St. Pet
er, and was to have graduated from
there next year. He reached home
summer vacation with his parents. He
was not feeling we'll, but tho't he only
had bad cold. 1t was not until the
previous Friday that he was feeling
poorly enough to 60 to bed and doc
tor was called and his case pronounc-
ed typhoid fever.
The parents, three sisters, Mrs.
John Dahleen of st. Paul, Mrs. Clar-
ence Lindblad of Svea, and Miss Flor
ence Lundquist, who lives at home,
and four brothers, Eddie, Chas. Harry
and Reuben are left to mourn the un-
They have the most profound sym.
pathy of all.
The funeral occurred at Tripolis
last Sunday afternoon. A quartet com.
posed of Mr.. and Mrs. P. E. Lund,
quist, Victor Holmberg and Mrs. Ed.
Hanson sang a selection at the house.
At the church Rev. Gustaf Knock of
Lincoln, Neb, spoke in English and
Rev. B. E. Walters in Swedish. The
church choir gave a selection. The
pail bearers were Henry Redig, Law.
renee Peterson, George Johnson, Ed.
win Johnson, Ferdinand Croonquist
and William Peterson. It was one OF
the largest attended funerals ever
held at Tripolis. There were many
floral offerings, including fine pieces
from the Willmar and Cokato bal
teams. The faculty of Gustavus Adol
phus College adopted the following re
solutions and requested their publ
cation in the Willmar Tribune:

cry was demolished. Here the family
saw the storm coming and went out
and lay down on the ground. The new
residence and barn escaped injury,
however. At Walter Sjoberg's the
barn was moved somewhat and at
Harrison a shed was destroyed and
the chickens were killed. At Chas.
Blomquist's place the barn and out
buildings were demolished. On the
old Solomon Lundquist place the
buildings were badly damaged. The
storm then did not strike any farm
place very badly until after it had
passed over Diamond Lake when it
completely demolished the barns and
sheds on the Herman Gratz farm. The
full fury of the storm seemed to have
developed here. The cyclone made a
clean sweep thru the wood twisting
down large trees. The chimneys,
porch and windows on the residence
were demolished. The family sought
safety in the basement which probably
saved them from injury from flying
glass and debris. Mr.. Gratz was Just
building new barn. A quantity of
bundles of shingles have disappeared
entirely. A bucket of paint was found
uninjured two miles from the place.
A board had been driven eight feet
into the ground in one instance.
About fifteen acres of heavy timber
in the Diamond Lake woods were
twisted and broken down. =
All the stricken people were almost
cheerful after their heavy loss be.
cause they considered themselves SO
lucky. in escaping unhurt from the
storm.
At the Gratz place more than hun.
dred neighbors gathered Monday to
help in clearing away the trees and
debris which were entangled about
the place. At Charley Johnson's place
yesterday was crew of men picking
up the broken buildings.
