OF DISEASE SUNDAY
MRS. ANTON LUECKEN, AGED Y,
DIES AFTER ILLNESS OF %
EIGHT MONTHS :

The announcement of the death of
Mrs. Otto Folkestad of this city was a
shock to the entire community. Few
had known of her illness and that she
had passed beyond seemed Incredible.
But short time before Mrs. Folkestad
had been seen on the down town
streets, always with her tiny son, and
always apparently in the best of
health. Therefore it was not strange
that her friends could not believe that
her call had come. 5.
Mrs. Folkestad, who is much better
known in her home city as May Work
ing, was taken i'll about two weeks
previous with q severe attack of jaun-
dice. While in the weakened condi-
ton with which the disease leaves one,
she was seized with sciatic rheuma-
tism. These maladies, together with
other complications, brought about
her death which occurred at $3.50 Sum
day morning. Her suffering was ex-
c1utiating, but she bore it with a
resignation that few could equal.
The young matron was the youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy
Working of this city. She was born
Oct. 5, 1894, and lived in Sank Centre
most of the time until her death. On
November 4, 1913 she was united in
marriage to Otto Folkestead at Mis-
soula, Mont. Shortly after the young
couple moved to Sank Centre where
the husband is employed in the City
Steam Laundry. She died at the age
of % years.
The funeral was held at the Folk
stad residence on Tuesday afternoon
at three o'clock, the Rev. c.. S.
Sparkes preaching short sermon. A
mixed quartet sang two familiar
hymns, Nearer My God to Thee" and
Crock of Ages" The pail bearers
were Dewey O'Gara, Carol Pang-
burn, Donald Hanson, Grove Wills,
John Hansen and Joe Rogers.
The remains were laid to rest in
the family lot at Greenwood cemetery.
The familiar face of Mrs. Folkestad
will long be missed in Sank Centre,
not only at her home but throughout
the city. She was popular among her
friends both during her girlhood and
her married life. The young husband
and little boy have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the entire, city.
Besides her husband and three year
old Lewis, the deceased is survived by
her father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Leroy Working, one sister and three
brothers. Those who attended the fun
