FINLAYSON WOMAN
BURIED AT SANDSTONE

The body of Mrs. M. H. Nyberg who
passed away at her home in the Fin
layson community Saturday morning
Aug. %, was laid to rest in the Spring
Hill cemetery in Sandstone following
funeral services held at p. m. from
the house when the Rev. H. Sporleder
officiated. A duet was rendered at the
house service by the Misses Elinor
Shafer and Edna Miller. At 2 o'clock
the Rev. Johnson officiated at the
services held in the Elm Lutheran
church in Groningen. At this time
the choir from the Peace Lutheran
church in Finlayson rendered hymn.
Mrs. Nyberg had been i'll for the
past nine months with septic ulcera-
tive endocarditis.
Esther olivia Antonette Oslund was
born at Mission Creek, July 26, 1898.
at the age of two weeks. Here she
spent her youth. On January 81, 1916,
she was joined in marriage to Man.
dus Nyberg at Minneapolis. The first
year of their married life was spent at
Sandstone, moving from there to Min
neapolis. In 1921 they moved to Gron-
ingen where Mr.. Nyberg operated a
general store. Besides working with
her husband in the store, Mrs. Ny
berg took an active part there in
church and community affairs. She
also served several years on the
school board. Six years later they
moved to Finlayson where they have
since resided.
Mrs. Nyberg was of jovial dispo-
sition, and a kind and devoted wife
and mother. She was loved by all
young and old alike. ITO see her was
to love her." She suffered her long
seige of illness without a murmur or
complaint.
She leaves to mourn her passing
her husband and two children, Man.
dus, Jr., IA, and Irene, ~; her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. o. E. Oslund of Gron-
ingen; one brother, Leo, of Finlayson,
and two sisters. Mrs. H. H. House of
Indianapolis, Ind, and Mrs. L.. N.Y.
strom, formerly of Minneapolis, who
helped care for her sister during the
last three months of her illness and
also host of friends that she made
wherever she went. One sister passed
away in infancy.
Six of the deceased schoolmates at
Groningen, acted as pallbearers. They
were Harold Bloom, Leonard Nelson,
George GOebal, Walter Schwartz,
Charles Schwartz, Jr., and Arthur
Larson. ...,
The vast assemblage of people and
the large amount of floral offerings
show the high esteem in which Mrs.
Nyberg was regarded by her relatives
and friends.
People from a distance attending
the funeral were Mr.. and Mrs. F. Muir
ply of Brook Park; Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Vik and Mr.. and Mrs. David
Miller of Minneapolis; Mrs. Ed Pick
run and Mrs. Guy Redmond of Cokato;
Mrs. L. 1. Henry Of Deerwood, and
Mrs. Raymond Spiering of Watson.
Sympathy is extended to the be-
reaved relatives by a large circle of
friends.
"A precious one from us is called.
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in the home,
That never can be filed"

Never have there been such

But there's lots Of commotion

Of these hues recall the kitchen

for example. But it's on account
of the bright-colored dresses

1t All Depends
So very often it all depends
on how a fur coat is cut, wheth-
er it Is suitable for street or
sports or what. Take lapin for
example. Swagger types, three.
quarter lengths or jackets for
less formal wear-cost less
money as a rule than one more
intricately cut, for evening or
for street wear. The sketch at

New Loves for Old

New Loves for Old
All these lightning marriages
and hair-trigger divorces out in
Hollywood and everywhere else,
are beginning to make my head
swim!
Guessing who's Whose in
Matrimony" is becoming the
great national game. It ex-
hausts all your ingenuity and
imagination just to get a
crowd together for a party.
You plan a cozy little gath
ering of congenial married
couples a week ahead and by
the time it is to come off, you
have to shuttle all the place
cards because half the hus-
bands and wives are separated
and engaged to somebody else.
An actress files a suit for
divorce; and before the slow
old courts can get around to
the case, she has broken her
engagement to the "other man"
and is trotting around with
Hubby again and talking Of
re-marrying him.
That's what gets us all mixed
up-this fad for RE-MARRY.
ING your last seasons husband
or your last weeks wife!
Apparently there is nothing
like separating two people for
a little while to hold them to-
gether for life.
Take away the microscope of
domestic propinquity and the
powerful and cruel lens of
breakfast-table proximity and
behold, they can't see the flaws
In each other any more! All
they can see is the old romantic
halo that dazzled them in the
first place. All they needed
was q little perspective on each
other!
It must be WONDERFUL!
It must be sweet and satisfy
ing sensation to re-marry your
ex-husband! All the thrills Of
