DEATH OF JOHN LINDQUIST,
OF MINNEAPOLIS.
A deep gloom was cast over this COM
munity Sunday morning when the sad
news was flashed over the wire that
John Lindquist, of Minneapolis, had
passed away at 10 o'clock Saturday
evening. 3 .ss
Mr.. and Mrs. Lindquist made their
home on farm in Viking some sixteen
years, until last spring when they sold
their farm, and bought lovely modern
home in Minneapolis, where their
daughter, Mrs. H. Loge, resides. "
Mr.. Lindquist had been in poor
health for some time, but no one, not
even his nearest, realized that he was
so soon to leave them. Little do we
realize when we meet our friends that
1t may be for the last time; such UNI
dOubtedly was the case with Mr.. Lind
quist when he bid goodbye to his many
Relatives and friends, and together
with his wife left for Minneapolis last
spring. Mr.. Lindquist underwent an
operation Tuesday, Aug. 81, and word
was received that he was getting along
fine, thus the news that he had passed
away came like an icy winter blast to
his friends. Mr.. Lindquist was born
in Smaland, Sweden, Dec. 16, 1860. He
immigrated to American 1883, soon
after which he was united in marriage
to Miss Ida Davidson. This union was
blessed with three children, DR.. Lind
quist of Viking, Mrs H. Loge of Min
neap0lis, and Elmer, soldier who died
in Germany April, 1919 Mr.. Lindquist
was good Christian man, and with
out him the home can never be the
same. The Lord gave, and the Lord
took away. He has gone to that better
land where sorrow and suffering are
no more. He is mourned by his wife,
his two children, his mother, brother,
Pete Lindquist, a sister, Mrs. e. Tang
quist, two grandchildren, several other
relatives and a large circle of friends.
The entire community extends their
sincere sympathy to the Borrowing ones
in their deep hour of grief.
The funeral was attended by the fol-
lowing people of Viking: Mrs. G. Styr-
lund, Mrs. E. Tangquist, Pete Lind
quist, DR.. and Mrs. Lindquist, Mrs.
Lindell.
The Standard Oil COmpany's station
here is now nearing it's completion. A
crew of men have been working here
for some time. One huge tank with
capacity Of $4,000 gallons is already
put and piped, and oil for same is
expected daily. Owing to the shortage
of material the company has not been
able to complete the work as early. as
intended. 1t certainly is a, nice i'm
provement to this village as it is put
up in the very latest style. Each tank
is placed on three peers, ten feet from
the ground, and painted white. The
engine house and warehouse is painted
red, and nothing has been spared to
make a most modern and convenient
plant. The agent for the company, Mr..
Forslund, has for some time been
very busy man, as he had to haul his
oil from Newfolden. this being the
nearest point where the Standard Oil
Co. has station. The people Of this
village and surrounding country are
certainly fortunate in getting this plant
established as it will mean a great saw
ing in transportation. - -

!, The G. F. Peterson family, from
Warren, were Viking visitors last Sun
day. II
Monday being Labor Day, everything
in town was closed up in the afternoon
between the hours of one and six.
A. movement is on foot to have an
electric light plant built here this fall.
This would be most desirable and a
badly needed improvement to our vii
1age, and as far as cost of light is con-
cerned we do not think it would be
more than anybody could afford. We
wish good luck to those that have
started and earnestly hope that the
people will take kindly to it, so as to
make it a go.
