Resolution Of Necessity Passed

At meeting of the city council
Monday evening the matter of taking
up the proposed resolution for order
ing street improvements was discus
sed A large delegation of represen-
tative citizens appeared before the
council and some of them gave good
talks on the subject. One of the main
subjects was the matter of the con-
templated paving. This matter was
discussed pretty thoroughly and it
was the consensus of opinion not to
order paving just at the present
time. under the exorbitant prices
now being asked. 1t seems that most
everybody favors paving, but are not
DESTROYS of putting it in when the
prices are at such a high peak as the
present time. 1t is we'll known that
the war suspended building operat-
ions, etc, throughout the county for
three years. and as one man states
give the country year or two to
catch up and the cost of building and
public improvements will come down
Contractors, no doubt, right now add
much to their bids to keep inside the
line of getting men and material.
One of the things that will be done
here this year is to get sewer and
water connections put up to the curb
lines. Much of this work has not been
done and it is one of the import
ant things to have done and given
time to settle before any permanent
improvement is put on top of them.

EvanSOn.

Mrs. Geo. S. Evanson passed away
at the DEBORAH hospital last Sunday
afternoon, Feb. %, at five o'clock.
She was rallying nicely from an
operation performed two days before,
when her heart suddenly gave way.
Her unexpected death came as a
shock to all who knew her, for the
operation itself was successful. The
operation was for gallstones.
Mrs. Evanson's maiden name was
Ida nj. Edwards. She was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Edwards.
She was born November 2, 1869, at
Preston, MINI. Left an orphan at the
age of nine, she spent her childhood
days with her aunt, Mrs. Christina
stenshoel, also four years in the
home of Rev. ]. A. Heliestvedt,
where she received special training
in church work. She attended
breckenridge Institute at DEBORAH
to prepare for teaching, and taught
both English public school and Nor
wegian parochial school, first in Fill
more Co., Mimi, later at Calendar,
Iowa.
On April 10, 1894, at Calendar,
she was united in marriage to Geo
IS. EVanson. To this union five chill
dren were born, four of whom died
in infancy; the last, George Stan
ford, died on January. 16, 1905
George Stanford was born on Aug.
80, 1907; his father passed away
last summer on the same day and at
the same hour, four o'clock in the
morning, that George, Jr. was born
twelve years before. The one sur
surviving son, Chellis Nathaniel, has
a teaching position at Luther Col
lege, where he graduated as a mem
Der of the class of 1918.
The Evanson family moved to De-
corah in September, 1911, and
built beautiful home in West De-
corah. The passing of both the
father and the mother within the
past six months is loss that is
keenly felt throughout the commun-
ity, and the sympathy of all goes out
to the bereaved. Among the bereaved
are to be included, besides the son
Chellis, also the family nurse, Mrs.
N
Lee, both of whom have been max
ing their home with the Evanson
family since last autumn.
Mrs Evanson became to her many
friends as a singularly intelligent
and right minded woman. always
anxious to serve others with ready
sympathy and cheer. Her home was
marked by fine hospitality, and her
range of interests in church and
social activities was large. The com
munity will miss the beneficient in
fiuence of her strong and kind per-
sonality. Before going to the hospital
she left written instructions concern
ing the execution of her last wishes,
little expecting that they would have
to be carried out so soon Accord
ing to her wish, the words of the
dying Jacob in Genesis 40, IS, will
be her epitaph 81 have waited for
thy salvation, o Lord 4
The funeral takes place Wednes-
day afternoon, Feb. 25, at $3.50
from the home and at $500 from the
