not unexpected, as she had been un-
able to partake of any nour1shment
for some time. The patience and good

pronounced than during her last days.

taxed by great difficulties Through
dangers Of Indian attacks and the aw-
full seasons Of the Minnesota weather
Of the sixties and seventies, they
strove together, working faithfully to
gain a living and to bring up their
children in the way they should go.
How we'll they have succeeded, the
citizens of this locality well know. At
all times, in time of adversely as well
as In time to prosperity, the Glesne
home was haven of rest for whoever
might seek refuge there, and no one
was ever turned away from their door
as long as they had something to
share.
To bless their life together there
have been born twelve children, six
sons and six daughters. Together they
have suffered the loss of four sons and
ing, two sons and four daughters, who
have been blessed in being brought
up by mother who set an example
Of industry and practical Christianity
which was worth more than one can
measure. The children who live to
mourn her departure are Mrs. Ole
