herself to Christ as child and was
baptized the 3lst of July 1906. She was
a faithful worker in the Sunday school
and Young Peoples Society and for
many years treasurer of the Sunday
school. Her greatest sorrow after her
illness overlook her was, that she was
unable to work for her Savior and her
church. But she continued to pray for
her near ones and especially that all
the girls of her Sunday school class
would be saved.
Early in the year Miss Peterson went
to Hot Springs, Ark. in hopes that a
warmer climate would help her, but it
seemed that at this distance from home,

ing hands and everything possible was
done for her, until last Thursday morn

full and happy. She was at the time
of her death 20 years, months and 1S
days. Those who mourn her early de-
parture are: her father Andrew Peter

Alfred T.; stepbrothers, Paul and Carl
E.; stepsisters, Mrs. Eric Elkjer and
Mrs. Leo. Kastel; also many other rela-

departed one, "She was one who never
caused father, pastor or friend any
grief. Brought up in our church since
childhood, she has been one of it's most
faithful members. She lives, though

memories and in deeds. A noble soul
has gone to her reward. Peace be to
her memory
