Almost four years ago he was afflicted with a disease which proved incurable. Being confined to his chair for weeks before his death, he was a patient and cheerful sufferer to the last, and always a kind and loving husband and father. One brother and two nephews were in attendance at the funeral. The services were held at the home Monday evening at 7:30, conducted by Rev. A. G. Swanson, M. E. pastor. Owing to stormy weather and blockaded roads, interment was not made until Thursday, at the Elwood cemetery. 10 Jan 1919, Bertrand Herald, Bertrand, Phelps Co, Nebraska.
