Carl Fransen, a young man who had
worked for several farmers in west
Brookings township. and who was in
training at Camp Grant, died last
week. Ole Aslakson's farm was where
he called it home, and Mr.. Aslakson
was notified. The body was inferred
at Camp Grant and Mr.. Aslakson has
notified his mother and brothers in
Sweden. Young Fransen had a small
farm in Minnesota and perhaps the
mother will bring her small family and
come to the country and use the
land that her son left. Carl was well
known to many around Brookings and
numbered his friends by the score.
His death Is another gold star in the
county's flag.
