A NOBLE WOMAN
HAS PASSED AWAY.

r. NONt mas IL LIS llluulle WlSuOm called
from this life unto the life eternal an
other of the noble women of Warren.
Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Tornell, the, be-
loved wife of Mr.. Emil l.. Tornell, pass
ed away at midnight on March II, 1919,
from pneumonia following influenza, at
the age of 81 years, 1 month and. 8 days.
She suffered an attack of influenza last
fall and had barely recovered when she
again became victim of the epidemic
in the recent outbreak and succumbed.
Mrs. Tornell was born at Lemont,
Ill, on Feb. 8, 1882. Her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. P. o. Peterson, moved to Min
nesota a short time after the daughters
birth and settled on farm in town of
Viking, Marshall county, where they
still live and are numbered among the
we'll known and sturdy pioneer settlers
of the community. There she passed
her happy girlhood days and grew to
womanhood, and there she was married
to Emil L. Tornell, son of Rev. a.
Tornell, then of Viking, ,;on Aug. 10,
1904 The happy couple established
their home in. Warren where ithe hus-
band engaged in business, and this city
has been their home ever since. Their
married life has been blessed with five
children, namely, Elna 10 years old,
Donald 8 years, Dorothy years, Wen
dell years, and Mildred 2 years.
These children and the husband are
now left to mourn the loss of kind and
affectionate wife and mother. De-
ceased is also mourned by her aged
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. p. @.
Peterson, Of Viking, by a brother. Au-
gust Peterson, also of Viking. by a sis
ter in Sweden. and by many other rela-
tives and a host Of friends.
Mrs. TOrnell was a woman who was
loved and esteemed by all who knew
her. The beauty of her character was
exemplified by helpful, loving service in
her own home and in the city and COM
munity in which she lived. She was
confirmed in the Swedish Lutheran
church and was always an active work
er in church circles and for human bet
terment in general. AS member OF
the lWoman's Christian Temperance
Union, she was jealous and energetic
worker for the temperance cause in
our city, county and state But it was
in her own family circle, and in the
rearing of her children, that she took
the greatest interest, and there also
will she be missed the most. That she
should be taken Away at time when
she seemed most needed in the home, is
beyond human understanding, but tits
not for us to question the ways of God,
who doeth all things for the best. Mrs.
Tornell has made the great gain, she
has kept the faith, she has won the
crown.
At the time of her death, Mr.. Tor
nell and all the children, except the
Oldest girl, were sick with the disease,
but they are now much improved and
considered out Of danger.
The funeral, which was private, was
held on Thursday afternoon and was
conducted by Rev. G. w. Olson, Of the
Swedish Mission church. Those who
attended the funeral from out Of town
were. s.. .aAcl GAAAO f"AA'''N'
Teckla Tornell, Of Roseau, sisters OF
Mr.. Tornell, Mr.. Albert Tornell, OF
Viking, brother, and Mrs. P. 0. Peter
son, the mother Of deceased, also OF
Viking. Many beautiful floral ofefs
ings were sent as tributes Of. esteem by
loving friends. In Greenwood cemetery
the earthly remains Of Mrs. Tornell
were laid away to rest until the morn
Of the resurrection. Peace to her
memory.
The sympathy Of the community is
extended to the bereaved family IN
their hour Of great sorrow.
1--WE shall sleep, but not forever, #
In the lone and silent grave
Blessed be the Lord that taketh
Blessed be the Lord that gave.
In the bright, eternal city,
Death can never, never come!
In His own good time He'll call US
From our rest, to Home, sweet Home.
