Death of Mrs. Inbeborg Maria Larson
Mrs. Ingeborg Maria Larson. of
Kandota township, died at the home
of her son, l. p. Larson, Thursday
August II. The funeral was held
Monday afternoon, August 81, from
was in the cemetery of that communi-
ty. Mrs. Larson was one of the first
Norwegian woman settlers in Kandota
township and one Of the early settlers
Of the county; She came to Kandota
in 1857 and had resided there con-
tinuously ever since. She was born
June "a, 1929, in the parish of A1stad-
hang, Norway, and her maiden name
was Ingeborg Maria Peterson. In 1854
she was married to Knut Larson. Mr..
mother of three children, one of whom
survives. She is also survived by four
grandchildren and oneN great grand
child. Mrs. Larson was one of the
real pioneers of our county and few
have lived longer life here than she
did. When she came to Kandota the
territory was almost a wilderness,
there being few settlers and the coun
try to the north being almost wholly
undeveloped. She did her part to help
and in passing leaves a record of
things done which should cause us of
the present generation to hold her
memory in deep esteem.-Long Prairie

town was shocked when someone
rushed in and called for divers to go

save him and called for the boat but
the girls were unable to get it there

Bert Butler, Walter Higley and
Geo. Washburn all dove but they
seemed to have lost the location, but
on moving nearer the shore, Walter
H1gley discovered the body and Fred
Taylor Jr. had just arrived and went
down and brought it out. Two ply
slcians were on the grounds at the
time but the body was in the water
So minutes so it was impossible to re-
