AN OLD. SETTLER CALLED
TO LAST RESTING PLACE
Mrs. Johannes Anderson of Colvili,
Died May 31st From ParaIytic
Stroke. 76 Years Old.

Last Thursday, May 31st, Mrs. Jo-
hannes Anderson died at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Ever Johnson, at
Colvill, after but brief illness. She
suffered paralytic stroke about a
month ago from which she did not
recover.
Funeral was held Monday forenoon,
services being conducted at the home
and in the Lutheran church by Rev.
John Larson. Interment was made in
the Norwegian Lutheran cemetary,
services at the grave being also con-
Quoted by Rev. Larson.
Mrs. Anderson had always been a
strong and robust woman up to the
time of her last illness, except for a
crippled hand, which she had injured
about three years ago in runaway
accident. Up to that time she en-
joyed the best of health.
The deceased was born in Hedemar-
ken, Norway, May 26, 1841, having
just filled her 18th birthday at the
time of her death. She emigrated
to the United States in the fall of
1869 and first resided in Blair, Wis,
for about a year. From there she
moved to Winona, Minn., where she
lived but short time, then moved
to Waseca county where she was
married to Johannes Anderson on Oc-
tober 16, 1871. Her husband died
four years after their marriage and
since that time she has struggled for
herself, running a farm in Waseca
county during the early pioneer days
and earning a livelihood for herself
and her two daughters.
In the spring of 1904 she moved to
Cook county together with her daugh-
ters. They each took up homesteads
in West Colvill where they were the
first settlers in now thriving COM
munity, the prosperity of which is
much due to the work and persist
ance Of Grandma Anderson. She was
always willing and ready to share
with her neighbors. Her advice was
sought by many, both men and wo-
men, always loving and kind as mo-
ther, friend and neighbor, and the
community as whole feel great
loss in her departure.
The two daughters have both been
married since they came to this
county, the older to Mr.. James Kin
ney and the younger to Mr.. Ever
Johnson. Both reside on their origi-
nal homesteads and were with their
mother up to her death. Besides the
two daughters Mrs. Anderson leaves
six grand children.

The U. S. Employment Service Have
Issued the Following Notice Re-
qarding Harvest Hands.

"The Division Of Information of
the Bureau Of immigration, the U. S.
Department of Labor, has been advis-
ed that about 5000 men will be need
ed this season for the grain harvest
in Oklahoma; wages will not be less
than $500 per day and up, with
board and lodging. Before proceed
ing to the harvest fields of Oklaho-
ma, all persons should first communi-

sioner of Labor, Oklahoma City, Okla,
to find out whether or not employ
ment will be available for them upon

"It is estimated that Kansas will
need about $4,000 men from without

Employment, representing the United
