Mrs. Carine Lee. Ward County Pho.
neer Died Tuesday Evening

Mrs. Carine Lee, mother of John
and H. j. Lee, pioneer farmers resid-
ing north of Minot, passed away at
the home Of her son, H. J. Lee at
o'clock Tuesday evening. The re-
mains will be inferred in this city and
the funeral will be held from the Zion
Lutheran church, date to be determin-
ed when it can be learned when Rev.
J. r. Michaelson, the pastor can re-
turn to the city.
Mrs. Lee was 81 years of age. She
was born in Norway but had lived in
America for many years. She was
one of the early pioneers Of Ward
county, residing on her homestea,
north OF the city for the past thirty
three years. Her husband, John Lee,
Sr., passed away thirteen years ago
last May. She is survived by two
sons, John and H. J. Lee. A daughter,
Mrs. Balerud and a son Thomas Lee
died several years ago.
The Independent was informed this
morning that the funeral will be held
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from
the Zion Lutheran church, with Rev
J. K. Michaelson, the pastor, ir charge
The remains will be inferred in the
Norwegian Lutheran cemetery in the
northern part of the city beside those
of her husband. This was accord
ing to a wish expressed short time
before her death.
Mrs. Lee was a noble woman who
was greatly attached to her home
where she had spent so many years.
She lived quiet life, but very useful.
Her son, John Lee, in speaking of his
mothers life, informs the Independ-
ent that she came to the United
States hirty-eight years ago. John
Lee, Sr., the father, with two of the
older boys came to Renville county,
Minn., near Sacred Heart, where they
worked one summer in order to earn
enough money to send back to Nor
way for Mrs. Lee, who came that fall
with John, who was but a small lad.
The Lee family were pioneers Of Rem
vile county. After spending six
years there, they heard of northwest
ern North Dakota and it's opportun-
tiles for people who were willing to
make sacrifices, so they came to Ward
county and were among the earliest
of our pioneers. They built up a
splendid home on the prairie north of
Minot and did their full share towards
the winning of the great west. The
bereaved relatives have the sincerest
sympathy of host of friends owe,
the death OF this pioneer citizen.
